Posted by anonymous | September 07, 2026 | Hired Attorney

He committed Abuse of due process. And the judges condoned it.

If you hire him, you’ll endure, Deprivation of rights, Purgery, Concealment of evidence and He Lies To The Judges… Legal Malpractice and Abuse of Civil Rights. Proven after having to hire a real private lawyer to replace him. GET A REAL LAWYER !!! He is not.

Terrible Criminal Defense Attorney!

Attorney Richards seriously wasted my time and money, as he arrived extremely late to our scheduled appointment, and didn’t provide me with the necessary information I was in need of at that time.

Worst Criminal Defense Attorney!

Attorney Richards is extremely arrogant, and is not helpful whatsoever when I had to consult with him about an issue I was having. Use another attorney for your needs.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
