Great Lawyer and staff

Attorney Richter was super kind and very knowledgable. He accepted our case to resolve a civil matter. He was thorough and accomplished what he recommened to us. If I need a lawyer again I have no hesitation about contacting his office to help me out. Thank you for a job well done.

Great attorney

Wayne took our case without any hesitation. He was thorough in his research. I would rank him high on his knowledge of the law and his approach. We feel were were truly blessed to have Wayne fighting for us. It was as if he was fighting for his family. We are very happy with all that Wayne and his wi...fe did for us.

Thank you Wayne !

Mr. Richter is a wonderful Attorney and person wrapped into one! He handled my situation with respect, professionalism and attention to detail. Not one stone was left unturned. He and his staff was very responsive to my calls and emails, which was very important to me due to the stress of the situati...on. I would highly reccomend him as I already have. Thank you Wayne( Katie) for being there for me in my time of need.

Excellent Service and a great litigator

I had to hire Mr. Richter because I was accused of a domestic situation, which obviously wasn't true and the charges ended up being dropped but the girl who made the compliant lied and made my life misrible for a few months while this played out. My experience with Wayne was one of the best experi...nces I've ever had with a professional. Not only was he great at his job in court, but being able to reach him and have an open line of communication was far and above what most attorneys would do for a client. He always made sure to explain even small parts of the process and stayed on top of the case during the whole process, even when there was a small hiccup that wasn't his fault he went above and beyond his duties to accommodate a client and was always very professional with his approach and his demeanor. Hopefully I won't ever have to use a defense attorney down here again, however if I do my first and only call will be to Mr. Richter. I would be happy to discuss my experiences with anyone that needs a recommendation. thanks!
