Retailiation Matter Services

Richard helped me deal with a company regarding retaliation efforts during a Workers' Comp case. He was always on top of issues, great with communications, and most of all, brought me what I think is a very fair settlement outcome with the employer. I highly recommend Richard Lowell.

A Man For Others

Atty. Richard Lowell helped me with my case that lasted for seven years. Through it all, he was the epitome of a professional who truly knew his craft. His knowledge, expertise, and hard work led to a decision in my favor. Needing a lawyer back then, I did an internet search and decided to go with my... gut feeling that Atty. Lowell can best represent my case. Meeting him for the first time, I was impressed with his unwavering love for justice and the truth. Through the years, his work ethics was impeccable.Truth be told, Atty. Lowell represents the embodiment of what is essentially "A Man For Others"

Helped me through David and Goliath circumstances

I hired Attorney Lowell because my employer was delaying resolution of a legal matter. Attorney Lowell skillfully cut through the delays and tactics. Attorney Lowell’s steady hand and solid judgment diffused obstinate managers and opposing counsel and set a professional tone. He was completely rel...iable when it came to deadlines. I can’t evaluate his technical legal skill because I’m not an attorney. However, I can corroborate that his written work product, judgment, and timing was very effective. The best features of Attorney Lowell’s service are his ability to maintain confidential client information, always put my interest first, maintain honesty and integrity in large and small situations, and quickly establish leadership.

When you need someone on your side

Richard is a very accomplished lawyer. His dedication in resolving your issues along with his vast knowledge of labor/employment laws takes all the stress out of going it alone. Richard immerses himself in your case and goes beyond the normal "going through the motions" by going right to the heart ...of the issues while weighing all the possibilities that will result in a successful outcome for his client. By choosing Richard, I feel confident that I have a true advocate on my side.

Very Reliable Attorney

I hired Richard to represent me on an employment retaliation incident that occurred with my previous employer (large corporation). I was impressed by Richard’s courage to take on this matter along with his ownership of the case. Further, Richard was attentive to detail, swift in execution and aggress...ive in nature, which was needed for our success against this particular company. The end result was a successful resolution. I highly recommend Richard.
