Review of Vern Richards

Vern wrote two wills for us and medical directives. He was very precise and professional. His pricing is very reasonable. I would recommend him highly. Tom

Child Custody

After going back and forth with my ex-wife's Atty., I went to see Mr. Richards for a consultation, and hired him on the spot. Within 1-1/2 weeks the case was closed, and I got everything I wanted!

Quick, efficient, affordable, reliable

After deciding to have my husband adopt my child from a previous marriage, we were at a loss as to where to start the process. Mr. Richards walked us through the process every step of the way. He was quick to answer emails, return phone calls, and showed up to court on time and prepared. His rates we...re competitive and consistent. He made it easy and spoke in terms that were clear and understandable. If I need an attorney for any reason in the future I would go to Mr. Richards. I highly recommend him.

Experienced and Straight-Forward

Vern handled my divorce and I was very happy with his services. He was very straight-forward, always willing to explain the laws and how the process worked. There were no false hopes, or promises, just honest information. The whole process went much faster and more smoothly than I ever thought poss...ible. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
