He Trusts His Clients

It was a really long time ago but Rich took my case and as we were near the end, the defendents tried a really sneaky angle and Rich was taken by surprize. I was also. Rich was concerned. We took a recess and Rich asked me, "Why didnt you tell me about XXX? I responded " it never occured to me to me...ntion it" . He considered taking a settlement but I said NO, I was teling the truth so he said ok and we returned to the courtroom. Guess who won??? Guess whose case was published in Legal Journals? RICH!! He believes in his clients.

Dear Mr. Walsh: I must thank you for all the hard work, advice and council provided to me over that past years. It was rewarding to have advocates on my side who understood the issues and fought to make things right. You’ve been very helpful and helped to make the process less painful. I'm glad I had... you as my attorney. Thanks so much for everything! For such a long and agonizing process - you were the ray of hope and sunshine. It's been a pleasure!

Outstanding!

Richard Walsh has represented us for the past 2 years. From our first meeting with him, we knew that he was the right person to help us. The advice that he has given us and letters he has written on our behalf have been exactly what we needed. He has always been responsive to our requests and has ...discussed options for our case. During our first meeting, he listened, took a few notes and came back with a letter that covered every point we needed to make in our case. We are very fortunate to have Richard Walsh as our attorney. His experience and concern for his clients is outstanding!
