Working under untenable circumstances is not in the best interest of you or your employer, particularly if you’ve been subjected to conduct contrary to law. The peaceable negotiation of an exit transition will allow you to move ahead with your life.

Executive Exit/Transition Agreement

I contacted Rich for assistance with an Executive Exit Agreement and by our second conversation he had my trust and respect. Rich helped me process my situation distilling facts from emotions and managing my expectations of the process. It was important to me that my exit from the organization was ...fair and professional and Rich helped me achieve this.

Highly Recommend

Rich is one of a kind! He is a lawyer that puts his clients first. He walked me through my options and helped me every step of the way. Rich makes himself available by phone, email, and text and always responds in a timely manner. Above all, Rich is a kind person who takes time to get to know his cli...ents. I am grateful for all he did for me and I highly recommend him!

Awesome Representation

“Very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. Richard Daugherty was patience with me and worked my case in the beginning stages with coaching me with “what if” scenarios and prepping me for what was to come. Highly recommend Mr. Daugherty for employment cases.”

Excellent Attorney

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 s...he 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.
