THE BEST!!!

He did a good job getting my case dismissed in a very short period of time. I totally recommend him.

Leaving my child hanging

We hired Mr. Richardson and paid the fee's. He has ignored numerous calls and text messages. With that being said he has pushed this date back numerous time's.

Unfortunately this appears to be fraud as it is posted anonymously. All of my clients have my personal cellphone number and know that I try to always make myself available to them 24/7. If this is a real client I would strongly encourage you to reach out to me via text message, email or a phone call as soon as possible. My reviews speak for themselves.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
