Richard Charles Mcconathy

Richard did a great job on my case! A not guilty. As a DACA recipient I was looking at everything I've worked for going up in smoke if convicted.I had really hard demands due to my status but Richard never gave up and now I'm cleared and free to go forward with my life.

To say I was happy with Richard is an understatement. This guy is the best around. I interviewed several other "Denton" criminal defense lawyers and was very unimpressed. Most of them looked like the same tired old lawyer in a tiny office with card board boxes everywhere. Not Richard, from the minute you walk into his office you see the difference. He takes pride in his work and his staff shows it. All I can say is my case is off me and I can focus on the future. Glad I went with him.

After a night out with my boss I was asked to get the car. While i was pulling up the the club door the cop watching the parking lot pulled up behind me. After a few tests I was arrested right there in front of my boss.luckily he was understanding and sent me to his lawyer Richard McConathy. Richard and Brian fought hard and got the case dismissed! These guys are the best in the Biz.

Last year I went off the deep end after my wife, out of the blue, left me and took our kid to another state with a guy she met on the internet. After a couple of months of self medicating I found myself with a Dwi and two felony charges in two different counties (Denton and Dallas). My mom found Richard McConathy on the web and hired him. I first met him when he came to see me in jail. We decided I need to go to rehab and while I was in treatment he got both felony drug charges dismissed and I'm able to get my DWI sealed in a couple of years. Besides working hard on my case the guy really cared what happened to me. Thanks Rich!

What great results I got. I went and did the local tour of lawyers in Denton and wasn't very impressed until I found Richard McConathy. I had really screwed up and was thinking my life was over, but Richard kept saying to keep hope alive. After 8 months of going to court the DA gave in to Richard's demands and dropped my felony charges. Don't just go with the same local lawyers in Denton if your in trouble. Get the Best!

As a single mother, money can be very tight and life overly stressful. I got myself into a bad situation thinking I could make some easy money with a friend. Was I wrong! I was so stupid in not realizing I was really looking at some jail time. I sat up most nights after my arrests thinking who was going to take care of my kids if I was sent away for a long time. Thank God I found Richard McConathy. He took my case with a great payment plan I could afford and was always on myside in the case and with my money issues. After it was all done I never spent a day in jail and I was never convicted of a felony. I've got a new lease on life thanks to him. If your like me and your kids are all you got and need help, Richard is the lawyer you need.

Richard McConathy is simply the best lawyer in Texas period! The whole staff is great. Always on top of things, calls, emails, and the attention to clients and service is beyond anything I can say. The best was the results, a Not Guilty!!! If your in trouble for a criminal offense and need a real bulldog on your side the get Richard McConathy, you wont regret it.

I have retained Richard for a multiple felony cases. It’s still early in the pre trial phase and this isn’t my first rodeo. I have had court appointment lawyers and paid defense. Richard has once never promised anything and is definitely good at under promising and over delivering at this point (some may not understand this as a good thing). I had been arrested for a new cases while on bond for a F1. Richard got me a bond hearing in less than two weeks to get my bond reinstated so that I could resume my life and get back to my business which I employ over 24 people and I’m beyond blessed I didn’t sit a month waiting on a bond hearing like others in the jail had told me. Richard visited me 2x in that period and had one of his lawyers who I was very impressed with handle my bond hearing. He spent over 90 minutes in the Attorney visitation preparing me for my hearing. Several people told me their lawyer didn’t visit them once before a bond hearing. I picked Richard not only for good reviews but I actually liked the fact he has multiple lawyers in his firm. When you have multiple cases it can be good to have multiple lawyers reviewing your case. At least in my experience. I know their are some small one lawyer firms that are awesome but I see this as pro. Also for me he has a TON of experience in Dallas and Collin counties where my cases are which was important for me retaining him. Also his partner has a lot of Dallas County experience. One of my charges is a 3RD DWI which is an F3. So I feel I have the right defense/law firm for my situation. As of right now I might have a shot at probation or I could be going to state prison but Richard has not once promised or guaranteed anything in regards to the outcomes even with how much I have pressed him for one. So that’s a good thing from my experience. Also I have a large bill but Richard is working with me and his terms are reasonable. Just pay balance in full when the case is ready to be disposed. Pretty fair to me. Back to the bond hearing...I was arrested on Friday and Richard was there Monday to get me in front of judge. He had me then set for May 9th but got it move up 2 1/2 weeks which was huge weight off my shoulders. His law firm also called my girlfriend regularly giving her updates and they could always be reached. I know I bounced around a lot but so far I’m happy I have retained his law firm. Oh and also after my 3rd DWI arrest they were already on the ball and got my hearing set up to be scheduled so I can keep my license while on bond. I’m not sure the folks who mentioned lack of communication or all he cares about is money. At the end of the day this is a business and they have to be paid. Yes his pricing for a basic retainer (no trial etc....) is on the higher end but as I mentioned I see my money being put to work. Anyone who says they are better off with a court appointed good luck!!! I saw dudes who had been waiting on bond hearing for 45 days and couldn’t get ahold of their lawyer. We are talking about your freedom and financial ruin while awaiting a case. I’m happy I got Richard defending me and my freedoms for my cases. I will update with the outcomes and I’m sure they will be great as I know Richard wants what’s best for his clients as I already saw him in action with my recent no bond hold in Collin county.

Keep this guys number in your phone. Met him at a party a few years back and figured that it wouldn't hurt to keep his contact. I'm glad I did. He got me out of jail within a few hours so i didn't miss work and took the bull by the horns from there. From start to finish Richard had total control of my case. I never had to worry about what was happening. After a year we set it for trial and we got a dismissal when the jury was in the hallway about to come into the court room. Even the judge said it was some strong legal work and I was luck that I had Richard as my lawyer. My personal lawyer for life!

Thanks god I hired Richard mcconathy to handle my case. Took control of the situation and after 10 months got it dropped. Very happy

I’ve been an honest and hard working individual my whole life with a level head on my shoulders. But like all of us I am human and fell victim to a series of poor choices during a hard time in my life. During this time period, I started what I would come to find out would be a collection of DWI’s. My first one was in Houston, where I was caught sleeping in my truck. Regardless of actually driving or not, the keys were in the ignition. I was arrested and charged with DWI and possession of multiple controlled substances. I chose a lawyer that was the father of a close friend. I had faith and trust that being I had zero past troubles in my 30 plus years on earth along with being a corporate national sales rep with a career that this man could get me the best possible outcome. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth. This lawyer drug my case out over a year and yielded me a 2 year probation sentance with all the bells and whistles that go along with such outcome. My wife went with me the last hearing and did more in one sitting with the DA then he did. This cost me a grand total of $3500, and I got exactly what I paid for. During my probation time, I clearly hadn’t learned my lesson and made another poor choice, almost identical, this time I wasn’t sleeping, but pulled over. This violated my probation and racked up a dwi2 along with another possession of a controlled substance. I can’t even begin to explain how scared I was. This time I was a bit more educated on what type of lawyer I did not want to have, but still naive on what type I needed. Luckily I didn’t have to look very long before I found Rick and Brian. Rick had me come in for a consult and was honest, to the point and able to put my mind at some ease for the moment. Over the course of a year and a half, Rick and Brian did nothing less then what one would consider rock star magician tricks. Being I VOP’ed my original dwi, Brian traveled to Houston multiple times and was ultimately able to get my probation reinstated like it never had been violated. This happened because I did what he told me to do. Remember that you clearly have made a series of bad choices to end up where you are, so it’s time to start owning them and making better ones. Like following the advice you’re paying for. During this time period Rick was working my dwi2 in Collin county. Sadly even though I was not using alcohol in these arrest i was still forced at this point to have an alcohol monitoring device as a condition of bond. I strongly advise against using smart start, and going with interlox. I say this being I had issues with smart start. From dealing with them to their equipment. This resulted in having my bond revoked due to an alcohol violation. Once again I was beyond scared. Rick was able to not only resolve this, but it “magically” went away. From being under the assumption I would need to return to court to meet with the judge to being told that the warrant was dropped and bail reinstated with out any more hassle. Long story short, by the end, Rick was able to have my dwi2 reduced to a dwi1, possession charges “magically” vanished and my choice of 1 year probation and minimal fines or 3 days in jail. Keep in mind my original dwi yielded me 180 days in jail or 2 years probation. I took Rick and Brian’s advice, spent 36 hours in custody (total time in jail of a total 6 day sentence ) resolving my over a year nightmare in Collin county. During my time dealing with the firm, I’ve had the opportunity to deal with the entire team as well as them dealing with myself and family. They treat me like a caring friend and not just a client. If you listen to Rick and Brian, do what they instruct you to do, you will get more then what you pay for. I own my own business and have been in my industry 22 years. Quality isn’t expensive, it’s priceless. This saying applies to choosing legal representation. Brian and Rick helped me clean up a huge mess I made as well as myself.

I had Richard and Brian handle two DWI cases in two different counties for me at the same time. I was very please the the outcomes. One case was dismissed the other case was reduced. They handled the case as true professionals and kept me always informed with what both counties where doing. I was very stressed but they kept things under control.

As a mother hearing your child call you and say that they are in trouble is a gut check. You don't know who to go to at first. Luckily I found Richard and his team. They are well versed in the law and very professional in handling the case. This was a very sensitive and embarrassing matter for my family but we were very pleased with the service and happy with the results. Thank you Richard Mcconathy and all the staff for your help!

I hired Richard about a year ago and was really worried that the case could not be won. Wow was I pleased at the outcome. Both Richard and Brian took charge and got several pieces of evidence throw out. The DA ended up dropping the case. The office always kelp me informed and I was very happy with the staff. Would highly recommend this lawyer.

Hired Richard and his team on a dwi and he go great results. I was very pleased with his staff in how they handled my case. If your in need of help this is the guy to hire
