Posted by Sherri P. | February 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

***Incredible Attorney***

Richard is a true blessing to our family. I was referred to Richard on a Sunday morning, and he agreed to meet with me that same evening at 7pm, and represented my son at a court hearing the next morning, which was New Year's Eve. There are few attorney's left that genuinely care about their clien...ts. Richard has over 50 years of experience as a prosecutor and attorney. He knows the legal system, and will protect your rights and fight for victory in your case. My son was released on personal recognizance after facing huge penalties, bond and jail time in Baltimore County, Maryland. Richard promised and delivered exactly as expected. He went above and beyond to assist, and was available anytime. You are a rare gem Richard! We appreciate you more than you know.

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.
