Excellent attorney

Patrick Richardson of East Brunswick is a very competent, knowledgeable attorney. He's experienced, thorough, and explains legal matters clearly. He welcomes clients' questions and answers them patiently. He shows concern and compassion when it is often needed in the situations he handles. I woul...d highly recommend him.

Hands down not only an excellent attorney but a great person.

There is absolutely nothing bad to say bout Patrick. He is unlike the many other attorneys who are out there to only take as much money as they can from you. Patrick is a down to earth individual who puts you and your well being a the top of the list. As long as he continues to practice I do and will... continue to refer him to those in need.

Great person

I used Pat Richardson for a motorcycle accident I was in pre covid. After a long battle with the insurance company we came out very good and Pat even showed up to my grandfather's funeral to give his condolences, I don't know any other lawyers who would go out of there way like that. I have recomme...nded him to other friends and family members

Patrick Richardson is a great lawyer

I had an accident at work and broke my knee. I called Patrick Richardson from the hospital and he was just great. He explained to me in simple details what had to be done and how he would help me. He was always available for my calls and managed to get me a very good and fair settlement for my ca...se. He is super smart and a true professional. I highly recommend him

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • 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.
