Richard Shannon Lord

Handled a family law case for me. Did an outstanding job! From the very beginning, kept me completely informed, let me know what to expect next. Gave me good reliable advice and counsel all the way through the case. always returned my phone calls if I didn't get him. But I usually got him on th...e phone if he wasn't in court. He sent me detailed invoices throughout the case. Once I had a question about an invoiced item, he removed the items, even though now that I think about it, I actually owed him for it. He treated me right!

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.

I hired Mr. Lord and though he had a very rough way of talking and discussing my case I hired him. Throughout my case he was neglectful, did not follow up with me or the opposing attorney. Routinely, sent things to me at the last minute, which caused me to rush around to complete a task he should h...ave given me ample time to complete. He was often rude, and did little to ease my fears. He also did not do much for my case. He left many things unfinished and I was left misinformed. He is not very knowledgeable and truly behaves like he does not take pride in his work or representing a client. I would never hire him again and warn all that I know to do the same.
