Responsive, thorough, friendly attorney

Richard responded to my time-sensitive inquiry over the weekend, reviewed my contract on the following Monday, and provided excellent, insightful advice based on his experience. I will definitely be retaining him again if I need to do so in the future.

Excellent Lawyer

I considered a few other attorneys before I engaged Richard. He was the clear choice. He has previous experience at large firms, which gave him credibility with opposing counsel representing the company from a large firm. He was very responsive, starting on the day I hired him. He is patient and is a... good listener. He explains all the options with the related pros and cons. I was able to settle for much more than what was initially offered because of how well he presented my case. His fees are very fair and much lower than larger firms. I recommend Richard very highly.

Great experience. Clear And Coincise

I had the opportunity to talk to Richard about my employment contract and the problem that I have with my current employer. He asked me to provide the contract and after a couple of days he came back with all the possible avenues for my situation. He clearly explained all the pros and cons of taking... certain actions. Now, I finally have more clarity of all the steps that I have to take.

Exactly the Advice I needed to hear

I needed Richard's legal counsel during a tough time with a business partner in 2019 and previously in 2018 when I left my old firm among a potential discrimination and retaliation law suit. Richard came through for me both times. He was a sounding board, understood what I was going through, showed c...ompassion, common sense and advised me on the legal matters in a way that gave me the confidence I needed to push back, stand up for myself and to negotiate with the other party in a way that prioritized what was best for me. He is pragmatic, effective and responsive. He was available to me several times on very short notice and was patient as I talked him through it all. His legal advice was given in a way that was easy to understand and relate to. I would highly recommend him on matters related to employment law without hesitation.

Outstanding and Professional Attorney

My case with Richard was somewhat tricky, but he investigated every avenue for my case, and ultimately won me a settlement I was very happy with. He is knowledgeable in all aspects of the law, and was respectful, professional, informative, and calm thru the entire process. I know that I can count ...on Richard if I should encounter any other issues in the future. Thank you Richard for your exceptional work! Also, Jennifer, his assistant , was fabulous as well! Thank you both!

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.
