Fantastic advocate and upholder of all that is right kind of Super Hero

Ms Richards has to be one of the best professionals I have ever worked with. She is caring, ethical, very thorough, and focused while always wearing a smile. Dawn always new it was her job to protect me from me. She did just, with successful or acceptable outcomes every time. You won’t be sorry... if you use her for all your legal needs.

Dawn was very thorough and extremely knowledgeable. She was always eager to answer any questions we had about making out our wills, and guided us in the decision making process.

Review for Dawn Richards

I met Dawn Richards in the year 2016 when I needed help to sort out issues related to my late mother's estate. It was a pleasure to work with Dawn and I highly recommend her as she is very knowledgeable and professional.

Great Attorney

Hired her for 2 seperate issues. Dawn is thorough, compassionate and explains everything in laymans terms not legal jargon. Will fight for you to the end. Would hire her again or keep her retained. She does great work!

Expert Advice

Dawn is very thorough and detailed in preparing wills and explaining documents. She prepared a questionnaire for me to complete before we met to discuss estate planning. Once my documents were completed she highlighted and flagged most important information and where I was required to sign. I was ex...tremely please with her knowledge and expertise and in breaking down information to simplify legal terms. I highly recommend her.

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
