Case handling

Mr Richard was Unprepared for my case based on my experience i would not recommend to someone who is concerned about the outcome of the case he was suspended in the past

Justice for All

Too often, thanks to the media, the Criminal Defense attorney is painted as an unscrupulous character who gets criminals off the hook. What I would like to state, for the record, is that the role of a Criminal Defense attorney is to ensure justice for all, the innocent and guilty alike. I personall...y experienced the shock and hurt of someone near to me taking vicious aim at my character, my career, and my livelihood by filing a false accusation against me. The accuser either counted on me to represent myself at the hearing, or perhaps he counted on me not showing up at all. What he did not count on was Mr. Richard Edinger. He did not count on a Criminal Defense attorney who took my case seriously and worked swiftly and tirelessly to analyze and prepare for every angle my accuser could take. Thanks to Mr. Edinger’s knowledge, expertise, and masterful presentation, the court dismissed the case outright. I had been advised to find the best Criminal Defense Attorney in the City of Fargo. I believe I found him. Five stars, highest recommendation, and heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Mr. Richard Edinger.

Excellent and very professional

Luckily Richard has not had to represent me, but I have had to ask him for legal advice in the past. He is very knowledgeable and professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Great attorney

Richard was very clear on the process and what options were. He turned my tough case into a dismissal. You want a great attorney, he is your man.
