About Richard
Biography
I have practiced law for over 40 years. In that span of time, I have handled cases ranging from petty traffic offenses to the most serious felony crimes. I am a seasoned trial attorney including bench trials, jury trials, motion hearings and post-trial motions. I am passionate, dedicated and very client focused. I take the title of counselor at law extremely seriously and I provide not just legal representation but a personal, caring approach and go above and beyond - not just limiting my representation to what happens in court. I am readily available to my clients and return phone calls personally and responsively.

He did what he promised and more.
