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.

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.

Best Attorney To Face Large Corporations

I was in a hostile work environment and being discriminated against in multiple ways. It took a really nasty turn when I was denied compensation I had earned and unjustly removed from my job. I dealt with the situation for months. Finally, I decided to get help and found Richard Daugherty. It is one ...of the best things I have ever done for myself. Handing the problem over to a strong advocate and expert righted the situation quickly. I highly recommend Mr. Daugherty. His diverse experience in other disciplines and employment law gives him a different perspective. He listened to the problems and was resourceful in finding the best ways to present the data. For all of the good reasons, he is not a text book employment attorney.

Professional with Subject Matter Expertise

Rich's patience and expertise was what helped draw this case to a positive outcome. He personally responded to the many emails and calls within a short time frame and made sure he understood all facts and circumstances of this case. He was professional and supported me throughout the process. I wo...uld highly recommend Rich to any executive seeking counsel on employment law.
