Richard James Serpe

It was so easy and a pleasure to hire Richard as our attorney to help with my mom’s case. Richard was incredibly kind and patient throughout the whole process. He and his team kept us updated every step of the way to ensure we understood everything and were well-prepared. The result was more than we ...expected. My family highly recommends Richard’s firm if you need any assistance.

While walking one evening in my own neighborhood, I was attacked by a dog. The resulting physical injuries were traumatic enough, but the psychological trauma in some ways felt worse — fear of walking alone in my own community, fear of encountering the belligerent dog owner who had cussed me out and... neglected to render aid. A few days later I Googled “dog bite attorney Hampton Roads” and Attorney Richard Serpe’s website popped up on my screen, offering a free consultation with their team. I filled out the online form, taking the time to type out my experience in detail. When Dawn, Mr. Serpe’s paralegal, contacted me later that day, I told her it had been cathartic to share my story, even if I didn’t have a case. She had already spoken to Mr. Serpe and they believed I did. In the ensuing months, Dawn always provided a listening ear and regular updates on my case. Mr. Serpe was able to settle with the dog owner’s insurance company for more than I’d imagined. If you have found yourself in a similar situation, I encourage you to reach out to the Law Offices of Richard J. Serpe.

In 2010, we discovered our home was built with a significant amount of defective Chinese Drywall. To remedy the problem, we had to move out of our home for nearly 8 months to essentially demolish the interior of our house to the studs, then rebuild. Since none of these expenses were covered by our ...homeowner’s policy, we engaged the law offices of Richard J. Serpe, PC to represent our interests in Virginia law suits and a national class action lawsuit. Given the country of origin of the primary defendant, we never thought we’d ever recover a dime. After nearly 10 years, this complicated case finally reached a successful conclusion. To say we were stunned by the successful outcome of this national class action suit as well as the previous Virginia suits and the fact that we were nearly made whole for our out-of-pocket expenses is an understatement. As this sad case has finally drawn to a close, we cannot thank Mr. Serpe enough for his honesty throughout the entire process, his dogged persistence, determination, attention to detail, professionalism, and the business risks he took over the past decade on behalf of those of us afflicted by this product.

My husband and I have been working with Richard for the past year and had a wonderful experience. At our first meeting, he did not push us to sign anything or make us feel pressured to choose him as our lawyer; he actually would not let us sign anything and gave us a copy of the contract to read at ...home before deciding to work with him. My schedule was very busy and we had to relocate soon after starting the legal process. Richard always worked very hard to schedule appointments and phone calls around my schedule, even though it was my husband's lawsuit. He listened carefully to our concerns and gave us honest legal advice. We never felt that he was leading us towards decisions that were more in his interest than ours. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Richard Serpe!
