Great communication and professionalism - highly recommend!

I had a personal injury case with a local company near Richard's office. He promptly responded to my inquiry and communicated effectively between the company and me throughout the whole process. I received my settlement check quickly after the case was closed, allowing me to have some peace of mind. ...I highly recommend Richard to anyone!

Exceptional!

After our first meeting, we left and felt totally relieved, knowing we were in great hands in all respects. Professional, reliable, methodical, detailed and very comforting. Rich is the ultimate Attorney package. We have highly recommended him to others.

Highly Recommend Richard

Richard was the best choice in a lawyer when recovering from my car accident. He was always available to communicate and was extremely organized throughout the entire process. I truly believe he genuinely cared about my case and myself as a person. He was able to provide me with more than what I expe...cted after my accident in every way. It was already so stressful to try and comprehend everything that happened during the accident and mentally recover- but, Richard took all of my stress away from it all and truly took care of me. I will be telling all my friends and family who need a lawyer to go and see Richard. He is a great lawyer and great person all around.

Honest, Professional, and Thorough

I was in a car accident that resulted in missed work and medical needs that instantly created a financial problem. I have never needed to use an attorney before so, this added another layer of anxiety to an already difficult situation. Mr. Vadnal consulted with me and instantly I felt at ease. He gat...hered all of the information including pictures, reports, and medical records. The other insurance company was offering something that would barely cover the emergency visit alone. For two years, Mr. Vadnal helped build my case against the insurance company. He always kept in constant contact and informed me of his progress and asked me about mine. Thankfully, the insurance company settled with us and the case did not have to go further. Mr. Vadnal far exceeded my expectations. He was professional from start to finish. The case was wrapping up at the beginning of Covid-19 and since the office was working from home, he made himself readily available to meet and exchange financial documents, forms that required signature and, ultimately, the final outcome of the case. I would highly recommend and, should I ever need representation again, he is my first choice.

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.
