I got to say if I ever get jammed up again, this man will fight for you and will take your case to trial!
All my cases were dropped.
Got to say he is a very hard working at work and home! After him buying one of my horses to surprise his wife for Xmas and to go to his home, you would never know he was a attorney, I would be calling him farmer Rich, LOL Thanks for everything :-)
Rich Austin is the best. I am 23 years old male and he helped me with a bad issue. I was so afraid and he never once turned his back on me. He kept my mom and her husband fully informed of what was going to happen to me. He never made any false details, he was surreal and we all appreciated it. With his help, the situation was resolved in less than a month. I would recommend Mr. Austin to anyone in need of a lawyer. He was wonderful. We all thank him from the bottom of our hearts.
Richard Austin has had plenty of experience in representing clients with their various law needs. His current area of practice is primarily criminal defense. If you are living in the Brevard County area and been arrested for assault, fraud, DUI, drug crime or any other criminal offense, contact Richard Ausin today.

Honest and ethical legal advice
New to the Cocoa Beach area, I was in need of an attorney and unable to ask friends for recommendations. I did some internet researching and met with over 5 different attorneys. I hired Mr. Austin just over a year ago to defend a misdemeanor criminal case in which there were two charges. Communication was never an issue, he returned all of my calls & texts in regards to my case and regularly made time to explain in detail how the case was proceeding. Not only did he keep me informed, I feel he also gave me honest legal advice in regards to what was best for ME and MY case. One of the charges was ultimately dismissed with prejudice, the other had stipulations that had to be discussed and agreed upon with the DA. Mr. Austin argued these requirements to very fair and reasonable bottom line. Even with the majority of my case dismissed I was still able to get in contact with Mr. Austin with no issues. Obviously the facts of every case are different and the outcomes will vary, but I would say that the honesty and transparency of working with Mr. Austin made made me feel very comfortable and satisfied with his work.
