About Richard

Richard is the founding member of Fenbert & Associates, LLC.  He worked at a nationally recognized criminal law firm in Cleveland, Ohio, before moving back to his hometown.  Richard represented celebrities, physicians, and athletes.  He also lectured on DUI/DWI/OVI, served on the Board of Directors of the Cuyahoga Criminal Defense Lawyer’s Association, and was a frequent guest on Cleveland Radio W.E.R.E. Legal Lines.

 

When he moved back to Chicago he decided to open a firm that represented individuals.  Our clients are workers, parents, and students who come to us because they need help overcoming a personal injury or a criminal arrest.  We provide dedicated representation through one on one communication, hard work and zealous advocacy.

 

If you also want dedicated representation please call us and ask for Richard.
