If you are not happy with my service then neither am I.  Let me fight for you and show you a lawyer that you can actually like. #CUINCRT

Dismissed

Posted by

If you want an understanding, hard working,professional Attorney; Mr Richardson is your go to guy. He made my experience less stressful and assured me he would take care of my case, and he did just that. He fought for my job wages and cleared my name. I highly recommended Attorney Richardson.

Great Lawyer

Posted by

If you're in need of a good lawyer for whatever the matter, look no further. I recently dealt with two cases, 1 felony, and the other a misdemeanor. Mr. Richardson was professional and knowledgeable about the facts surrounding my cases and was able to counsel me through the advantages and disadvantages of the choices offered. In choosing to stay the course, both cases have been dismissed. It was a long fight, lasting about two years in court, but through sound counsel, that battle is over. I urge you to consider Norwood Richardson as you come to your decision for a lawyer. He was a great choice for me, I'm sure he will be the same for you.

Personal injury support!

Posted by

Attorney Richardson was no only instrumental in helping me win the suit, but coaching me through that step by step recovery process. Getting into a physical condition such as the one I was in as a result of my accident puts the human psyche in a state of panic-depression and I honestly don't who what I would have done without him. I would absolutely recommend his professionalism, services, & expertise to anyone!

Dismissed.

Posted by

Mr. Richardson was very thorough and passionate about my case. He made sure that I was kept in the loop about what was going on and made me feel like I was an important client. I am very grateful for all the work he did to get my case dismissed. I even referred a friend to him and her case was dismissed too. I hope to never need him again, but if I do-- I know he will work hard for me. He is sometimes hard to reach, but he gets the job done.

Noble Lawyer

So I hired this lawyer twice actually. He was always up front with me and was very good at explaining everything. He ended up getting my case dismissed. This dude is a good and honest lawyer. I will use hm every time and he is the only lawyer that I refer people to.

Great Lawyer and Refreshingly Honest

I had a motorcycle accident and didnt know where to start. A friend of mine referred me to Norwood. He came to my house and took pictures and kept me informed throughout the entire process. He got me a great settlement that allowed me to pay off my medical bills in full, purchase a new Motorcycle and have money left over. He exceeded my expectations.

Attorney Richardson is an amazing attorney and advocate for his clients. Moreover, he's very knowledgeable about the law, and is skilled in the courtroom. I had the pleasure of interning with Attorney Richardson during law school, and am proud to call him a mentor. Attorney Richardson develops a great rapport with all of his clients and works very hard on their behalf. Attorney Richardson is always my first recommendation to prospective clients seeking an attorney in the Houston area.
