About Richard
Biography
I am the proud owner of the Chadwick Law Firm, LLC in Newark, New Jersey. I began my legal career as the Judicial Law Clerk for the Honorable Alexander H. Carver, III, J.S.C., in the Family Division of Bergen County. It was there that I learned the nuances of all areas of family law, including but not limited to divorce, child custody, child support, and restraning orders, but perhaps most importantly, I learned how to analyze cases in the manner that a judge does. Since my clerkship ended, my representation has expanded to include traffic ticket and DWI defense, as well as defending clients charged with disorderly persons offenses (misdemeanors) and indictable offenses (felonies). My goal is to always provide my clients with the best representation and obtain the most favorable outcomes. If you think that I can be of help to you, please take advantage of your free consulatation. I look forward to speaking with you.
