couldn't recommend Rich more. He is a true advocate for his clients. I've appreciated his deep expertise, empathy, attention to detail, and proactive attitude. He made himself available at seemingly all hours - a machine! I would not hesitate to work with Rich again in the future.

My termination was completely unexpected. Reaching out to Richard was a scary step but I am so glad I did. Richard helped me through all phases of the process and is not only a true professional, he is passionate about employment law and ensuring all people get fair treatment. He is very knowledgeable and will be your greatest supporter. Above all, Richard is just a wonderful human being and I would highly recommend him.

I have had the privilege of speaking with Mr. Daugherty on multiple occasions. He has always been attentive and patient. He never hesitates to listen and he expresses genuine concern. His ability to quickly assess a situation and masterfully craft a strategy to address it is impressive. He has often allayed my fears during some of the most challenging times in my life. His guidance has proven to be priceless.

Rich is the kind of lawyer you want by your side when needing legal help. He is sincerely driven to help. He provides easy access and never is stingy with his time. He listens and respects your perspective and assessment, even though he is the subject expert of the area. He takes the effort to explains his inferences and strategies, so you understand the logics behind everything. I whole heartly recommend Rich to anyone needing legal advice.

All the rave reviews here are absolutely true. When I saw them I knew Rich is the person I wanted to work with and I was right. From the very beginning, he was very responsive, patient and accommodating. I was impressed with his ability to resolve executive management issues. I'm glad I found him and very happy with his service.

I met Rich when a friend was struggling with an employment issue and thought I could recommend an appropriate attorney. I had heard several positive things about Rich so I passed his name and number along. First, I was so impressed that he got back to my friend immediately. The few other attorneys she reached out to waited several days to respond. I sat in on her first meeting with Rich and I was also impressed with his approach. He walked us through a process to help clarify the situation and organize our thoughts and responses. Rich knows how to get right to the point and helps clients do the same so they will be heard. He understands that clients are nervous and he diffuses that by extracting relevant information and focusing on the solution rather than the problem. My experience with him was positive; I was impressed with his energy and his ability to listen and get to the heart of the matter so a strategy could be formed.

I am grateful to Rich for his succinct ability to take his client's complex information and synthesis it into easy to understand messaging. He can cut through the clutter in your mind and give you the clarity to express your thoughts and concerns. He then guides his clients through the right legal approach. I would refer him to family, friends and colleagues.
