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.

Highly Recommend

I would absolutely recommend Rich's services to anyone that needs them. Rich responded quickly to my initial email. At every step of the way, he took the time and effort to walking me through how things would proceed. He was able to deliver a fair settlement. All in all Rich was incredibly kind and c...aring during a different time.

Excellent Council

Rich is an excellent attorney. I recently sought him out for representation and was more than happy with the results. Rich took quite a bit of time getting to know e as a person as well as taking the time to understand the dynamics of my situation and how best to navigate given the circumstances. He ...answered all of my questions throughout and was always attentive to my thoughts and needs. In sum, he is experienced, sharp and to the point; explaining his rationale and reasoning for next steps. I unequivocally recommend Mr. Daugherty as council.
