Great lawyer! Professional and hard working!

Posted by

Richman Law Firm PLLC is an amazing firm and worth working perusing is you need a lawyer. Scott Richman works hard and took care of everything quickly. He was easy to get a hold of, answering emails and phone calls immediately almost every time. He settled my case within a little over 8 weeks. He was in constant contact, keeping me up to date on the progress of my case. After settling my case, he reached out often to be sure I received my check and to confirm that all looked as promised per our contract. He answered every question, never making me feel stupid or small. He is a great guy to work with, very nice and very professional. Hire this firm, you won’t regret it.

Excellent is an understatement

Posted by

Scott is not only highly skilled, driven, and assertive, he is empathic. I was referred to Scott by his colleague. Scott contacted me immediately receiving my referral. He also came up up with a legal remedy and sought my approval prior to taking action. I am both thoroughly impressed and relieved. After six years of trying to find a legal resolution, I finally found an attorney willing to hold my assaulter accountable, Scott, thank you for enabling me to finally receive justice and legal protection.
