This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

So appreciative for his help!!

When I had a bad accident last August, I hadn’t a clue about how to address my problems. Was referred to Mr. Anderson by an opposing-side attorney as a force to go against. He came to my house as I’d broken my foot and couldn’t travel. He always explained things to me so I understood what was going t...o happen and what my rights were. He talked to my employer for me and handled everything professionally. I am very pleased with the service he provided as well as his great paralegal, Cara Wyatt, who kept me up on progress and was just so helpful to me!! I will definitely recommend him to anyone who has had an issue he can assist with!

Hard working, and Intelligent

Richard Lee Anderson is a very hard worker. When he took my case to trial, he was completely prepared. I had been searching for an attorney for my worker's comp. case, and my cousin recommended him. I am very pleased with my settlement. Richard is very personal with his work. He puts himself in your ...shoes. He still checks in on me once in a while to make sure that my insurance is still acting properly. He is the best attorney I have known and will ever know. If you are looking for an attorney for your case, Richard is THE attorney that you need to hire.

Knowledgeable, Aggressive, Honest

Reviewed several attorneys in his field and in the Charlotte area. Based on the evaluations, I recommended Rick as counsel for my client. Rick handled our clients matter with the clients best interest in mind. We were very pleased with his representation and the case outcome. I highly recommend... Rick for any personal injury/workers compensation matter.
