It's all about the relationship with my clients — meeting their needs and helping to solve their problems.
Working with clients to navigate the ins-and-outs of their legal matters with confidence is where my 15+ years of courtroom and practice experience come into play.
My goal is to empower you to take full control of your case — before the legal system does.
My practice areas are limited to criminal defense, divorce and family law, personal injury, social security disability, and worker's compensation. I also limit the number of clients I work with at any given time, so that I can dedicate my time, attention, and resources fully to my clients.

To a great lawyer
Great lawyer I suggest his services strongly stayed on the job till it was finished Always kept me up to date on everything I really liked that and gave very good advice as well he does his job very well
"Mr. House is a consummate professional and has been a pleasure working with. I endorse this attorney."
"Richard was both a well-prepared and zealous advocate for his client. It was clearly evident that he had command of both the law and facts in the matter. He was also very respectful to opposing counsel. I would recommend Richard."
"I endorse Richard. I have known him for many years, and have also been on the opposite side. He always does his very best for his clients."
"I've had the opportunity to work with Richard on multiple family law matters and I have always found him to be extremely prepared, polite and willing to do whatever it takes to get the best result for his client. I have no hesitation in endorsing this lawyer."
"Richard was opposing counsel on a workers' compensation case. I thought he did an excellent job. He aggressively pursued his client's interests and secured a large trial award. I definitely recommend him."
"Richard and I have worked together on various Personal Injury and Workers Compensation matters since we both began practice in 1999. Richard is knowledgeable, courteous, professional and competent. I have, and will continue to refer individuals to Richard."
"I've known Mr. House personally and professionally for many years and have lined up across the courtroom from him on several cases. He is a highly esteemed member of our bar because he always carries himself professionally and provides excellent legal counsel for his clients. It is an honor for me to endorse him."
"Richard is an excellent advocate for his clients. He is knowledgeable and experienced, and zealously represents his clients. I would highly recommend Richard."
"Richard is an excellent attorney who is skilled in many different areas of the law. He keeps his clients' needs in the forefront, is reliable, and works hard for his clients. I endorse Richard without hesitation."
"I recently worked with Mr. House as co-counsel on a property damage claim (via fire) that involved an insurance company denying the client's claim. Mr. House took over the property damage claim from another local firm that decided not to represent their client after determining the claim was not worth their time or energy. Within just a few months of accepting the case from the other firm, Mr. House was able to obtain a settlement of the property damage claim that equaled the relevant insurance policy limit of $300K. As you can imagine, the client was ecstatic to obtain the settlement after the firm that represented him before Mr. House told him the case was not worth their time or energy. Mr. House is a fantastic litigation attorney that will truly fight for his clients regardless of the odds."
"Richard is an outstanding attorney I have known for 20 years and I endorse him without reservation."
"Richard and I have been adverse to one another numerous times. He always is a fierce advocate for his clients. I endorse his legal skills without hesitation."
