kept me in the US

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.

saved my Job

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.

A really good lawyer

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.

He really cared what happened to me

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 Rich...ard 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!

I am very happy with all of Richard hard work

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 d...emands and dropped my felony charges. Don't just go with the same local lawyers in Denton if your in trouble. Get the Best!

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.
