Posted by Charles morgera | January 10, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Modern Age legal expert

Mr. Richard Wolfe is modern-day law at its best. Richard has represented me on three occasions. First occasion was a terrible car crash in 2007 At the time my wife and I were newlyweds and we did not know the best way to even facilitate a rental car utilizing the insurance funds and limitations.... We were lucky to have come out of the wreck alive, however unfortunately all aspects of the car were completely destroyed due to the high impact velocity of this crash. Richard took care of every detail for us, including helping us facilitate a rental car. Additionally this was my second car wreck in my life and as I discovered even though it was my second one that I did not cause, was a victim of most attorneys do not want to take your case if it is the second crash irregardless. Richard did not hesitate to help us and produced very positive results that reflected the nature of this terrible crash. In 2011 I was in my third car wreck Richard representative me as well during this case which progressed all the way to the mediation stages with the insurance company involved. The experience felt a little bit surreal as I witnessed Richard in his element professionally fighting for his client on what I would describe as a battlefield of litigation. Richard achieved honest results on our behalf once again during this matter. In 2015 we hired Richard for a general matter which and he helped us with quickly and stress-free quickly creating a solution an ending to the matter at hand. Richard will not treat you like a number. He knows who you are by your name and by your case. In most cases when you call he'll be able to answer the phone and talk to you. You won't have to go through a dozen office staff to one day get that anticipated phone call from the lawyer that you had hope to speak to sooner. Richard is great because he truly cares. His motives are pure he wants to help his clients and he is sincere about doing it. In addition to this he is a very skilled attorney and the combination of his humanistic qualities in comparison with his skills in my opinion make him one of the best lawyers in the Saint Pete area and the better part of Florida for his expertise. Thank you Richard for all your help throughout the years! Sincerely Charles E Morgera Jr

Very reliable, professional, agressive & proactive attorney

“Richard was previously and is currently the perfect attorney for me. He has a superior knowledge of employment and auto accident law. He was especially helpful to me in discussions about my rights with my employment case and now providing what is at my best interest regarding my pre- existing condit...ion due to a previous auto accident, and my current injuries and how important my health impacts day to day life, and my rights as an employee. He is remarkably sensitive regarding the strong emotional issues associated with job loss and injuries sustained as a result of any auto accident. Richard's ethics are above reproach. In my particular cases, he has advised me not to press certain issues because it will cost me more in legal fees than I stood or stand to gain. I feel he has my best interest paramount at all times. He is looking out for me, and he never would take advantage of me during this difficult time in my life. I will always count him as a supporter and a friend. Richard is very tuned into the realities of my personal strengths and fears. I have trusted him totally because I know that he has my best interest at heart. In the end, I am confident Richard will help me achieve a workable and fair settlement, which will pave the way for a positive and healthy future. I would give Richard an A+ for responsiveness. From the moment I first spoke with Richard, I knew that he was someone who would make sure my needs were met and would follow up competently and responsibly on anything that related to my cases. I trusted Richard completely! Richard has always treated me with professionalism and sensitivity. Richard always takes a strong negotiating stance on issues that are very important to me, and I am very happy with the results thus far and confident on the future outcome. He advised me well on where to bend and where to stand firm. I think my first settlement was remarkable, and I emerged from the entire process with a newfound sense of confidence in myself. Richard always treats me with dignity and respect for which I am profoundly and eternally grateful.” “Would I refer others to Richard Wolfe? Absolutely! I am so impressed with his ethics! Richard is a remarkable man with high ethical standards.” “I have dealt with a few auto law attorneys over the years. Richard's is the only firm that I recommend to others. Richard Wolfe elevates himself against others in many ways. The first time I met with Richard, I realized that I found the perfect attorney who genuinely cares. Richard has exceeded all my expectations in resolving my legal issues in an ethical manner previously and in my current case. His expertise of the laws of employment and auto have been very obvious during my previous and current case. He is always prepared and always has my best interest at heart. Most importantly, every single person associated with my case that he has referred me to or that I am currently being treated has shown genuine care and concern. For my previous conditions or current conditions whoever Richard has recommended are some of the highest quality Dr.'s or treatment facilities EVER! I am grateful to Richard for his services and blessed to have him as my attorney. “Richard is well respected and has a great reputation for his approach to employee and auto accident law. Richard helped make a difficult time easier, and I would highly recommend his firm to others.” — Tracy L., St. Petersburg, FL
