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.

Don't trust him

I hired him to advocate for me. Instead he took advantage of my situation. His advice made the case weak. I had to remind him to fulfill the obligation several times and he took the course that would benefit him the most. He kept asking for money and I did not see him produce any result. A month afte...r the final bill was paid in full I got a bogus bill with fictitious charges for almost $10000.00. We hired another lawyer to continue the case.

Honest and Experienced

Richard was a huge help to me in my dispute with a recent employer. Richard is a wonderful advocate and is very skilled at his craft. I never felt a moment wasted with Richard. His outstanding judgment and knowledge always made me feel like I knew where I stood with my case be it bad or good. Richa...rd's honest approach is very refreshing. Richard worked extremely hard for me and I felt I had someone in my corner at all times. I know in today's world Richard Lowell is a rare breed of attorney. Anyone would be lucky to have Richard on their side.
