Richard Charles Mcconathy

I am very happy with my choice in a law firm. Richard was a true professional in all his dealings with my case. This was a very stressful matter for myself and my family. Richard and the whole team did a great job in getting the results I needed. This is not a small one guy law firm and there are a l...ot of people on your case, but if your looking for a big power house to match up against the other side i would highly recommend this firm for any criminal case.

I am very happy I found this firm to handle my case. I made a big mistake coming home from Denver with a few items that were legal in that State, but quickly learned by Texas highway patrol it was not here. It's a felony! My friend got charged with the same case as well. He went with a lawyer friend ...of his family that does civil law. I wanted a criminal lawyer. What a big difference in how the cases were handled. My case was knocked down to a class C and just had the case erased off my record. My friend took 3 years of felony probation and we were in the same car. Great work by Richard and the whole team up at the office.

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 (s...ome 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 m...y 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!

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 ver...y stressed but they kept things under control.
