My experience

My experience working with John Richmond was everything I was hoping it to be! I had anticipated pressure to make decisions I did not want to make Instead he was patient, understanding, explicit, and very approachable. His was very professional, and mild mannered when dealing with me, but very stern..., knowledgeable, and strategic when dealing with the other party. I cannot say enough, other than he worked diligently to get me the best settlement possible. I highly recommend him.

The best law firm around! Great service and fast!

My mother was represented better than I could have ever imagined. Her needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. Our opinions were valued and our doubts were always reassured. John fought hard for us, and provide us updates frequently. John went above and beyond and did ev...erything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Greatly appreciated! Thank you!

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.
