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!

Great Attorney, Great Service!

I contacted Atty. Richard Walsh (Walsh, Becker, Moody & Rice) for assistance on a personal injury case. My 3 yr. old son and I had been struck in a head-on car collision. Mr. Walsh is a very compassionate person. He really understands the dynamics that are at work when there is both physical pain, a...nd emotional distress. Mr. Walsh was very patient with me, but also kept me focused, and my case moving. He promptly returned all of my phone calls, answered all of my questions, kept me informed on all activity with the case, and gave his honest legal opinion on the facts of the case. Mr. Walsh is the consumate professional and I would hire him over and over again.

Richard Walsh

In the course of my 35 years as a Maryland small business owner, my company has had the need for legal representation on numerous occasions. While there are many things about operating my company that I still find to be satisfying after all these years, having deal with legal issues is certainly n...ot one of them. However, after dealing with numerous attorney firms over the years, from the large ones, to the single person practice, I can honestly say that our company's opinion is that we have never ever been better represented than we have in several recent legal matters, in which Richard Walsh was our attorney. We have found Mr. Walsh to be attentive to our legal needs, while providing high caliber advice and not being adverse to thinking a bit "out of the box" when planning our legal course in recent situations. Lets be honest here, no attorneys come cheap. However, our company has been very satisfied in that Mr. Walsh's billings are reasonable and reflect the hours of actual labor on his part in the preparation of various legal courses of action on our behalf. Sadly, this has not always been our experience when dealing with other law firms. When employing an attorney, it should be just like hiring any one else to preform a task for you. Arrange an interview to discuss your legal need/situation, costs, etc. If you don't come away from the interview feeling comfortable that the particular attorney/firm is right for you, it's best to move on. We feel very comfortable in our ongoing legal representation by Richard Walsh.
