Brilliant Mind

Thank you for your sound advice. You provided great assistance for a tough situation. Before we spoke, I was very confused, but you helped enlighten me. You explained some difficult concepts and highlighted steps that I could take. I will recommend you to others and come back if I need help.

“Tremendous Integrity

I have known Richard for a number of years. Mr. Sexner is an astute attorney with tremendous integrity in all of his work. We were on the wrong side of a very unfair and unreasonable company. Mr. Sexner was able to force them to agree to great terms. I would highly recommend him.

Invaluable

Thank you so much for your caring counsel and assistance. It was absolutely invaluable and I wouldn't hesitate to call on you again - though I hope I never have to!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
