About Richard
Biography
For 29 years I have helped countless people "get back on their feet" after suffering devastating injuries and losses caused by someone else's negligence. We've successfully obtained liablity insurance payments for injured clients helping them with their medical bills, lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses and permanent pain and suffering.
WE DON'T ADVERTISE ON TELEVISION! My clients are referred to me by friends, neighbors, co-workers, family and former clients. I am also honored to have several attorneys (even opposing counsel from previous cases) call on me to help co-counsel cases when needed. My personal relationship with past and present clients extends far beyond any meaningless commercial any law firm pays to have on television.
Cases we handle: car accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, dog bites, defective products, fall injuries (slip-n-fall; trip-n-fall); nursing home negligence; uninsured/underinsured motorist claims and more.

Top Notch Attorney
Rich is a great attorney and I highly recommend him. He warned me insurance companies are not very cooperative in cases such as mine with muscular injuries and that sure was the case. He was knowledgeable, on top of all the paperwork, an absolute pleasure to work with and I truly believe I'd be out o...
