very generous

Mr. Lord helped me with my fathers financial and other affairs. He was very generous with his time and answered my many questions over several phone calls. He was always thorough and patient with our many questions. He was paid a very small sum and worked well beyond what was expected. We are ver...y grateful.

Helped me as plaintiff AND defendant!

Mr. Lord is simply great counsel, particularly for anyone being sued for the first time. His ability to translate complex legal terms into understandable words is amazing, and his ability to predict the moves of opposing parties and take action really makes a difference. He has successfully helped m...e both as a plaintiff and a defendant. Hire this man if you want to win.

Great/Caring/Knowledgeable Lawyer and Law Firm

I have known and used Mr. Lord and his firm for over 6 years. Everyone in his firm is very caring and knowledgeable. Mr. Lord is an expert in his areas of the law and will use every available avenue in the law to fight for his clients. He does not give up. Everytime you think you have lost, he finds ...another law on the books to fight for you. He hardly ever asks about money; he allows you to pay as you can and he does not allow money to control how he treats you or handles your case. Your justice is his main concern.

Look no further!

Richard has been my personal attorney for the past 14 years. In fact, I have used his services on many occasions for different criminal matters from serious charges to simple traffic offenses. Not only does Mr. Lord excel as a criminal defense attorney, but he has taken care of my family in certain f...amily law matters as well. Whenever any member of this family needs legal representation, we look here.

Warning, do not use this "lawyer"

Richard Lord did not read through my documents nor did he research anything in my case. I had to indicate I wanted to counter claim, I was not asked. I did not feel like I received any due diligence. I had no help with answering interrogatories and admissions. His request for admissions and interr...ogatories read like a template. He did not call me, but I communicated with him to guide my case. When the opposing side agreed to meet, as I requested, Richard Lord said NOTHING during the meeting. He did not want to prepare or strategize before the meeting. He did no follow up . Then, unexpectedly he proceeded to withdraw from my case by sending me a certified return receipt letter. He had no valid reason, he just made up one. He said I did not pay my bills and I had.
