Big picture business lawyer

Richard is a great business lawyer. He's practical. He anticipates possible problems and suggests ways to avoid them before they happen. He's a deal maker, not someone who tries to find reasons not to move forward. He lets his clients make their own decisions, but provides measured and experience...d legal advice to minimize future problems based on years of experience. I always recommend Rich to anyone looking for sound business legal advice.

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.
