Michael D. Richardson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer, because I worked for him for four years and learned how to effectively communicate with clients and opposing counsel, properly prepare cases for trial, and then successfully try them. Mike is smart, conscientious, calm under pressure, fair, well-spoken, and thoughtful, and I would recommend him to anyone."
"Mike Richardson is one of the smartest and most well-rounded attorneys I have ever worked with or against. He understands not only the practical, business side of providing legal representation, but also the intellectual side of complex legal issues. In my opinion, his cases are more likely to settle on terms favorable to his clients because Mike's opposing counsel knows that he is always ready, willing and able to go trial. If it does come down to a trial, you will not find a better trial attorney anywhere. Mike has tried dozens of cases with an unusually high success rate. Whether briefing and arguing a pretrial motion or examining a witness during trial, Mike is a legal visionary who quickly grasps both the "big picture" issues and also the legal minutia that sometimes will win or lose a case. You cannot go wrong hiring Mike Richardson as your legal counsel. He will be your tireless advocate, and he will keep you informed every step along the way."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mike has the intellect, the calm, and the cool that business litigants and seriously injured persons need and want. He is also quietly intensely competitive. I have known him for 15 years and witnessed several very (very) large verdicts. Do not hesitate to hire this top quality attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mike is a terrific litigator: a pit bull with opposing counsel; kind and supportive with clients. He is experienced, organized and effective. I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
