Wrongful death and Estate advice

Some things in life take you by surprise, that is what my wife and I found ourselves suddenly faced with, we needed answers and advice right now. Richard and Jordan answered our call, they came to our house after hours to personally comfort us and make sure we understood the importance of the situati...on we were about to embark. They always had our interest in mind, they thoroughly explained each step and each option throughout our ordeal. Richard, Jordan and the entire staff worked tirelessly and professionally to see us through. We can never thank them enough.

I'd hire him again

Most of us get into a car accident at some point in life. I did, and I broke my hand from the airbag cover smashing into the steering wheel. Richard quickly and efficiently took care of everything. He knows the doctors and he knows the insurance companies. Don't ever think the insurance companies... will deal with you fairly without a respected attorney on your side. I am a lawyer by profession, and I would always hire Richard if I had a misfortune like a car accident again. Richard is an excellent attorney and a total professional.

Personal injury lawyer | Jul 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Many years ago I serendipitously met Richard Wright after finishing the bar exam in Tampa. He invited me to look him up when I returned to town and then spent several hours coaching me on the finer points of entering the profession. That he would spend the time to coach a newly minted lawyer speaks volumes as to his character. For that reason I recommend this lawyer."
