Traci L. Richards

Traci was dedicated to responding to her clients in a timely manner. She answered all of our questions by telephone and email and once in person as her time permitted. She was dedicated to responding to the legal briefs of opposing counsel with thoroughness and knowledge of the law. She kept us inf...ormed as how she felt the judge would rule and kept us and herself calm and focused on the legal issues at all times. We would retain her services again if necessary.

My wife and I retained attorney Traci L. Richards services to assist in civil litigation against a loan creditor seeking payments from our daughter for a student loan. We appreciated Traci’s hard work and attention to detail in reviewing the plaintiff’s documents that were submitted in finding tha...t they couldn’t prove in court that it loaned the money to our daughter. The creditor tried to persuade the judge to rule in their favor but at each attempt, Traci was more than prepared which led to a dismissal of the case against our daughter. My wife and I are truly grateful for Traci’s hard work and professionalism. If you’re in need of not just an attorney but a Great attorney, we highly recommend attorney Traci L. Richards.

My husband got a DUI charge in December 2011. In March 2013 he was scheduled to be released from probation on the day that he reported to his probation officer. However, the probation officer advised him that she would be recommending that the judge sentence him to six months in jail for violating pr...obation! She said he "dropped" 2.8 blood alcohol content which would have meant that he consumed 12 drinks between leaving work and arriving at the testing facility. On the day in question, he had worked 2 job. The first is a highly sensitive job requiring absolute control of all senses and the consumption of alcohol on site would have been detected immediately, especially in such high amounts as was supposed to be the case. He had left work and then went directly from there to the testing facility which was a 20 minute drive and could be proven. Obviously, there was some mistake. It would have be insanity to be foolish enough to risk freedom when he had faithfully "dropped' 3 times per week for more than a year and had known that he was scheduled for release from probation, then to now violate! As a consequence of the random testing, he now faced jail time, more charges and a loss of employment. His innocence would need to be proven and we needed money to do so, but we did not have money, we were so afraid, so confused and and very desperate; our world was crashing down around us. The only possible solution, we thought, was to seek the least expensive option...a court appointed attorney. Never would we have fought nor paid money for defense if it were not for the fact that my husband TRULY was innocent. As Americans, we must believe in the judicial system and therefore uphold the law. Supposedly, the purpose of imposing sentence is to reform the violator so that he may be a productive member in the community. My husband had complied with the court ruling and had been diligent in following the terms of probation, he DID NOT violate. The current charges were weighing heavily on him both emotionally and physically and I feared for his life. But, the court appointed proved absolutely and frustratingly incompetent, advising him to carry out any sentence including jail time, and made no effort to defend him. The CA didn't even know what his case was about nor his name each time we went to appear to defend the current charge, ( a total of 3 times). How could going to jail reform an innocent mane? Out of desperation, we requested the assistance of Ms. Richards, whom was referred to us by a family member. She allowed us to work out a financial plan to retain her services. At first we thought she would do only what was necessary to fight for us, which by the way, she did not specialize in this type of case, but I swear, Ms. Richards worked hard, very hard for us! We couldn't believe the amount of work she did for us, day, night and even weekends. We later found out through Ms. Richards advice to get medical testing, that the possible false read may have been attributed to his diabetes. Neither of use knew he had the disease and we are grateful that we found out this information, as well. Also, the probation officer would not cooperate nor comply or answer calls from our lawyer in her request for pertinent information that was the attorney's right to have. I could elaborate more about wrongs that the court officer and the testing facility did to us in actuality violation of our rights... but there are not many more characters allowed in this space. The result; Ms. Richards was able to have the case dismissed before we ever had to go before the judge, she was prepared to show evidence of misconduct. Suffice it to say that if you need to have confidence that your case is handled with respect and dignity, or if you are concerned that your rights are not being addressed, Ms. Traci Richards will help you or refer you to someone that can. Thank you again, Traci Richard!
