Posted by Mike | November 2, 2017 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I was very fortunate to have Richard Armond

I went to Richard with a very serious matter and did not give him the benefit of time as I had to be in court in a very small window. Richard was so well versed and showed the utmost integrity as well as an incredible understanding of the law. He truly helped me navigate through something and brought... it to an excellent result. Thank you
