Excellent Lawyer

After bad experience with another lawyer's unwillingness to take my case, Rich took over and got the job done. In fact, it never had to go to court. I was owed a good deal of money for artwork sold through a gallery. After months of not getting paid, Mr. Vadnal's letter to the gallerist was enough... to get results. Mr. Vadnal went so far as to pick up the check in person representing me to the very end. The complaint written on my behalf which was ready to be sent to the municipal court was a work of art itself. Thankfully, it didn't have to go that far. Mr. Vadnal is a consummate professional, trustworthy and extremely competent. My highest praise.

Client

Rich was my attorney for some personal matters a few years ago and I was very impressed with how he handled the whole situation. He was very thorough and I hardly had to do anything. All in all, I was very happy with Rich how he handled my situation and VERY happy with the outcome of the situation!

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.
