Excellent Representation

I have known Rich for about 15 years. A few years ago, my wife and I were defrauded by a small company in Indiana. We hired Rich to see if there was any recourse for our situation, and he did a great job. Rich is smart, aggressive, and creative. He certainly made the best of a bad situation for u...s, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who finds himself or herself in a bad situation.

Charged with first-degree murder found innocent not guilty

The first time I met Mr. Weston I was languishing in a county jail charged with first-degree murder ill treated by the authorities and just hours after A man on drugs attempted a home invasion in the middle of the night of my house where my three small children, wife and I slept I was confused and di...sheveled I had never had any experience with the criminal justice system Mr. Weston treated me professionally and as if we were sitting in his office or my home and not in a prison within days I was out on bail Mr. Weston stuck with me In what became close to a two-year process to prove my innocence he did this in spite of the fact it was not a popular case the man who broke into my home on drugs was claimed as the grandson of a popular city Councilwoman the judge presiding over the case announced to the entire courtroom that he was good friends with this councilwoman this did not intimidate or scare Mr. Weston His team including Danny Lane found evidence that not only did the man who broke into my home did drugs he also sold drugs Mr. Weston then provided the information on our case to a self-defense and law-enforcement expert Mr. Dennis root who showed through his testimony and report that I did what was necessary to protect my family I was found innocent by a jury of my peers on all charges I would love to say this is because the system worked and yes I was innocent but I have no doubt the reason I am not in jail for the rest of my life and my children are not orphans is because Richard Wallace Weston represented me as my attorney

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.
