Unjust Firing
The Honorable David Rich got my job back, with full benefits and complete back pay. Mr. David Rich is unwaveringly professional, meticulous and logically aggressive. His litigation stance is take no prisoners from beginning to glorious and victorious end. The "Fortune 500" company he slayed for me doesn't want to see him again. My family and I are forever appreciative of his service. David Rich is a "titan" litigant. Sincerely, Shadeed A.
