Poor Communication

Zero proactive communication. If I was wanting to know what was going on with the case then I had to reach out and wait days for a reply. Usually had to follow up again on the topic before getting a response. I felt as though I was treated like Mr. Darden was doing me a favor by handling my case, not... as though he had been paid thousands of dollars to do the job. After 12 months of dealing with the case it was FINALLY resolved. This would not be an issue if I had not been misled into thinking it would take - at max - half of that time. I went back and forth with him on several issues which he clearly was not fully informed on or could care less into finding out proper information which dragged the process out. AT MINIMUM I should have gotten half of my money back since I did at least half his work. When I reached out to express my frustrations, I got no response. Nothing! Since the case is closed what does he care. Saddest part, he was referred by a family friend. There are still unresolved issues in which I should be receiving his assistance or at least guidance. You can bet I will be handling those alone. If I had to do it all again, I would have certainly gone with a different option.

He's the best

I hired mr darden for my son armed robbery. Not only did he get my son a great deal but he's nice and intelligent too. Knows how to get down to business and he know what he's doing. Highly recommend.

"I have known Richard for 10 years. During that time, I have seen Richard try some of the most complex cases that ever come before a jury. Everything from traffic tickets to murder. His mastery of trial law is unsurpassed and the results he obtains for his clients is extraordinary. Richard is quite simply a superb trial lawyer and I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of retaining his services."
