This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Such a help!

I consulted with him and he took time to explain what to do step by step. Very patient, easy to get along with, and I now feel relaxed about my situation. I can move forward with confidence.

Awesome!

Let me begin by saying that are very few occasions in my life that has warranted legal representation. So when one of those occasions arose, I found myself in slightly unfamiliar territory. I contacted quite a few law offices and decided to go with Steven Richardson and here’s why. At the core of ...Steven’s practice is a commitment to excellent customer service, uncompromised professionalism, compassion for his clients, and a broad ranging knowledge of the law. But what I believe set Steven apart (from the rest of the attorneys I’d previously contacted) was his ability to very quickly understand my personality type/specific needs and adjust his approach – accordingly. I like to think of as the difference between hearing and listening (which was extremely important to me). In addition to being smart, realistic, conscientious, efficient, hardworking, and responsive, Steven was an absolutely pleasure to work with (which made getting my case resolved EASY.)

Great Guy and Very Professional!

I am an MD resident and was hit with a DUI Reckless in Atlantic County. I found Steve's name on a frantic search before going back home. He was willing to take my case on, even though he said that he did not take on many cases outside of Gloucester County. He was easily reachable by email and phon...e, returning messages within 2 hours. My Reckless charges were thrown out of court and the minimum penalty assessed. Very stand up guy and willing to go the extra mile for his clients. I happily recommend Steve to anyone in Central/South Jersey!

Amazing Lawyer!

I received a ticket after a truck hit me on the highway and didn't stop. Mr. Richardson handled my case and was able to get it dismissed entirely. I have a crazy travel schedule for work as well and he was absolutely amazing about working with me and being flexible. He's super quick with communicatio...n too! I highly recommend him!
