Rich Daugherty - Professionalism and Excellence personified !!!

I recently had an opportunity to work with Rich Daugherty as his client. First and foremost, I found him to be a wonderful human being who showed genuine care and empathy. Rich is an experienced professional, very knowledgeable, considerate supportive throughout my case. He took the time to thor...oughly understand my situation, provided clear and strategic guidance, and was responsive to my questions. I was impressed with his "friendly interrogations" to gain comprehensive factual understanding of my case that formed the basis for formulating a compelling narrative leading to a positive outcome that I was satisfied with. I would highly recommend Rich, without any hesitations for your employment attorney needs, who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about his clients. Thank you, Rich, for your excellent work!

Outstanding Client Advocate

Reviews for Rich If you’re reading this review, you’re probably experiencing a stressful situation with your employer or past employer. Mr. Daugherty is a fierce advocate. He coaches clients through the process of developing a compelling narrative and evidence file to support their claim, painstak...ingly reviewing every detail to assure he has complete command of the facts to support the most persuasive arguments for his client. He works tirelessly to resolve every case in his client’s favor, reaching out without prompting with updates and questions. He’s also very compassionate and has a tremendous sense of justice. It’s clearly his priority that employees receive fair treatment from their employers, and when they don’t, he strives to make it right. I especially appreciate his inquisitiveness, quirky sense of humor, and the care he takes word smithing summaries and talking points. He is disarmingly engaging and thoroughly prepared which gives him a huge advantage over his opponents. Most importantly, his track record speaks for itself. You can be confident you’re getting the very best legal representation with Mr. Daugherty.
