    Review Robert Rich

    Tom Rich

    Posted by

    Tom Rich was excellent in assisting me with our case. Everything he and Tommy Savant indicated would happen in our case to get it non adjudicated came through and has since been given the final written consent by the sitting judge and final notice of non adjudication has been issued. Additionally, any questions or concerns I had along the way were quickly answered and Resolved. I would highly recommend Tom Rich and the Savant Rich law firm for any legal issues that would require their assistance and feel sure your representation will be above and beyond your expectations.

    Honesty and integrity

    Posted by

    Tom Rich helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I was overwhelmed and scared. Tom was understanding, compassionate, and genuine. He represented me with honesty and integrity. Tom helped me understand the legal process and clearly set realistic goals. He helped me understand optimal and less than optimal outcomes. I have heard from more than a few people in the legal profession around the area, and Tom Rich has a reputation as a honest man and great lawyer. I am very blessed to have Tom Rich represent me.
