Richard Shannon Lord

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.

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.

Did a great job on my wills, power of attorney, and other estate planning documents. He took time with me and listened to me, explained the law and the documents, and did not make me wait. It also did not take him long to prepare drafts of the documents for me to review. When I had a question, he ...was prompt to reply to me and answer. All of these type documents can be quite confusing but he made it relatively simple and painless. Though I don't use lawyers very often, If anything else comes up, I plan to check with him first.

I hired him for a divorce case, and after 5 months he never even requested any discovery documents from my spouses attorney. When I questioned him about that and what he was doing for me, he claimed he must have forgot to do that, then he sent a withdrawal request into the court and notified me after... the fact, stating that I owed him too much money. He only sent me the bill 2 weeks ago for $1500.00 and claimed I had not paid him. He knows how to send a bill but that's about all...

I had been out of town and had to get someone last minute to file an answer and represent me. We got it all ready and filed on time. He charged less of a fee than I was quoted by two other lawyers and kept track of his time well. He returned my phone calls and emails in a reasonable amount of tim...e if he was ever in court or out of the office. He seemed prepared when we appeared in court. He asked to meet with me prior to the hearing an additional time, we had already met more than once, but I could not get off from work another day. The case turned out ok and when we were at court he showed me and gave me copies of the law as I had asked for.
