Fortune 500 Experiece with Rich - Exceptional

I needed a lawyer for a case with a fortune 500 company and Rich was the right choice. His experience and background combined with constant communication and updates were exceptional. Rich knows how to work with corporate lawyers and the structure of big companies. His passion was amazing and he pres...ented many ideas for the evolving process that took place. If you're looking for an attorney who is compassionate and truly cares about his client, Rich is the right choice. Highly recommend.

Highly talented executive-level employment attorney

Rich Daugherty represented me through an executive-level employment situation that would have transpired quite differently without him in my corner. I am grateful he took my call, and used his deep expertise to coach me through each day of an incredibly stressful month. One of the most brilliant atto...rneys I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked with many in my career. Don’t be fooled by how empathetic and kind he is—he won’t be trifled with in your defense and you will be taking notes on his negotiation skills. His passion for his work is inspirational. I could go on, but will summarize by saying I cannot recommend this man enough, particularly for any executive-level guidance you may need. Thank you for everything, Rich.

Excellent

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.

Highly Recommend!

Hiring Rich Daugherty was one of the BEST decision I could have ever made. He genuinely understands - He is responsive, attentive, and showed empathy all while providing excellent legal counsel. I would highly recommend Rich Daugherty! He is highly knowledgeable about employment law, and has t...ons of experience in all types of employment law cases. He is so dedicated that he worked on my case while he was away on vacation. He was uniquely skillful at articulating my case and negotiating on my behalf, therefore resulting in a very fair settlement. Rich is a personable and passionate individual that made a very difficult process much easier. He is the BEST and I am so glad I hired him.
