CALL RICHARDSON LAW FIRM. EXPERIENCED AND DEDICATED. FREE CONSULTATIONS AVAILABLE ON SOME CASES.

I help people who are facing felony and misdemeanor criminal and traffic charges and driver’s license revocations. I also represent people on a wide array of family law issues such as Separation and Divorce, Child Custody and Support, and Alimony and Equitable Distribution.

I have been a criminal defense attorney since the beginning of my career. I worked as an Assistant Public Defender in both Gaston and Durham Counties, before I decided to move to private practice and left the Public Defender’s office to open my own law firm. During all of this time, I served in the U.S. Army Reserves, and attained the rank of Captain. In 1996, I was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army Reserves after serving nine years on active duty and in the Reserves.

When I got married, I changed my last name to Richardson, and later, changed the firm name from Kathy S. Williams, PLLC to Richardson Law Firm, PLLC. Since 1996, the Richardson Law Firm, PLLC has been helping clients in Durham and the surrounding counties in the areas of Criminal, Traffic, Family, and Landlord/Tenant law.

If you have been charged with a Criminal or Traffic offense, have a revoked driver’s license, or need assistance with issues relating to marriage, divorce and children, please contact Kathy Williams Richardson today.

Couldn’t have dreamed it would be this easy!

Kathy Richardson got my speeding ticket reduced significantly, and handled every aspect of the process with mastery. I called to tell her about my situation, and once I hired her, she sent me emails letting me know about my case when needed and assured me that it would work out, and it did. This was the easiest process. If you’re on the fence, hire her. You’ll be glad you did. I sure am.

Professional and easy to work with

When I called Ms. Richardson, she was very professional and easy to work with. She listened carefully to my account, specified what she needed from me to proceed, and then followed through in court. Since I am a caregiver, who is unfamiliar with the court system it would have been difficult and time consuming for me to proceed without her expertise.

Honest and Helpful.

Ms. Richardson provided very helpful information for me. Due to location I did not retain her services, I will need to obtain a lawyer practicing in the city and county my incident originated out of.

Really Helped Me

Everything was great from the beginning, filled out the paperwork detailing the outcome I wanted from the case and she executed flawlessly. I highly recommend Ms. Richardson. Hopefully, I won't need her services again but if I ever get another speeding ticket in the area, she'll be the first person I call.

Response from Kathy Richardson October 9, 2018

peace of mind with landlord issue

We needed to know our legal obligations in a dispute with our landlord who is bullying us. Her staff called us the next morning after we wrote an email and we got in to see her right away. She read our lease and with her knowledge of landlord-tenant law she gave us peace of mind that we are not in breach of our lease and can proceed calmly.
