Knoweldge and compassion

I have been working w/ Mr. Richard Lowell for over 3 years for various matters of Federal Employment and Federal Workers Compensation. I have found him to be incredibly knowledgable. In all honesty, the time I chose to go against his advice, EVERYTHING he said was going to happen, did. With no judgem...ent, he just began to pick up the pieces to continue on to acceptable resolution. He has thought of aspects of my case that I NEVER would have even considered. Just as important, I have found him to be also genuinely concerned for my and my familys' welfare through this process. He has gone out of his way to work with me in the evenings and weekends...often the only times I had available between working and being a busy mother. He has patiently answered my questions and concerns, reviewing his recommendations with me every time I have asked. He has been prompt in answering or returning both phone calls and emails. Everytime something new would come up with my case, he would calmly review it, no matter how frantic I might have been. I have found his knowledge and patience to be very reassuring. I have recommended him numerous times to others and continue to do so.

A Dying Breed

I hired Mr. Lowell to handle a matter and solve a problem I was having at work. He wrote a very strong compasionate letter for me of which I am very pleased and lucky to have found such a knowledgeable lawyer in this field (they are very hard to find)!

  • 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.
