Richard W. Rich's Peer Endorsements

I fully endorse this lawyer's work. Attorney Rich is one of the most well-respected and hardest working criminal defense attorneys in New York's Southern Tier. As a former prosecutor, I battled against Attorney Rich on numerous occasions, and always found him to be intelligent, articulate and extremely dedicated to protecting the rights of his clients.

I endorse this lawyer's work. In my time as an Assistant District Attorney, Rich was by far the finest criminal defense attorney I faced. His level of preparation, knowledge of the law, and zealous advocacy for his clients is unparalleled. I regularly refer clients in need of highly skilled criminal defense to Rich because I know they will receive the finest representation available.

I endorse this lawyer's work. Rich is a tremendous criminal defense lawyer. In fact, he was so good that after he won the NY Public Defender's state-wide award, I thought I could hire him for my firm and turn him into a plaintiff's personal injury attorney. During the two years he worked with me he was an incredibly hard-working and dedicated civil attorney but I could just tell that he was dying to get back to his first love-- criminal defense. Accordingly, with our blessing he returned to handling criminal defense cases and he has a well-deserved reputation for effectively defending some of the toughest criminal cases around. If you have been accused of a crime, hire Rich fast!
