Review Richard Ursha II

Great Attorney!!!

I am so greatful to have hired and met Attorney Richard Ursha, of Wimberely, TX. He has, without a doubt, proven that he is very knowledgeable with the law and the Justice System. I have hired him 2 or 3 different times in the past, and each time he has come through where my case(s) have either been reduced or dismissed. The last time I was in court, Attorney Richard Ursha presented a recommendation in court, under the justice system, which had to be looked up or reviewed by the Judge and Prosecutor. Thats when I was completely convinced that Attorney Richard Ursha of Wimberely, TX does know the law and will look for ways to better serve and defend his clients to the fullest. I am so glad to have hired him. I have spend time and money driving back and forth to Wimberely but have no regrets whatsoever as all my past cases have been resolved at a VERY satisfactory level. Thank You, Attorney Richard Ursha. Pedro

From start to finish, Richard was very kind and sympathetic to my situation, and even gave me options to deal with my case to fit what I needed. He only had me come to court when it was absolutely necessary, saving me lots of time and stress, and in the end, I strongly feel I was lucky to have chosen him as my attorney. He did not have the bullish and dry personality I have seen with other lawyers, but he in fact was easy to talk to, a bit humorous, and was very down to earth. He seems to be well informed and has alot of history with the judges and prosecutors in court which can be VERY helpful. I highly recommend him.

I hired Richard to represent my daughter for a DUI, she is a college student. Richard was able to get better results than I expected. He was able to keep DUI off her record. He quickly responds to questions and truly cares about his clients and their future. I highly recommend Richard.

From the beginning he told me he would take care of my issue and not to worry. Sure enough he followed through and had car dismissed. Never had to appear in court. Man of his word. Thank you.

Mr. Ursha was more tentative and responsive to my many questions than any lawyer could have ever been. I am so thankful for the prompt manner that he would respond to my phone calls. We had a very small chance of winning and he told us every single detail of the things that we needed to get done and in the exact time amount that we needed it done (and we ended up winning our case). I would highly recommend Mr.Ursha to anybody needing a criminal defense lawyer.

When I found myself in need of a lawyer, Rich was there with knowledge, assistance, kindness, and comfort. He seemed to know what I was going thru and was accessible to answer my calls / questions. He always kept me in the loop with what was going on with my case, and reminded me of when and where I needed to be. His professionalism was more than i could have asked for, more than I ever expected. He treated me as a person, as a friend. I wasn't just another client, paycheck, to him!

My experience with Richard was, to sum up in a word, impressive. His work ethic, absolute professionalism, and client care were spectacular. Most importantly the results were always positively beyond expectation.

Mr. Ursha is OUTSTANDING!

Mr. Ursha has been working with me for the past 5 years. During that time period I was charged with 2 DWI's and driving with a suspended licenses. I was referred to Mr. Ursha by some friends that I trusted who had been in similar situations. Since then Mr. Ursha has taken care of all charges. This man is a brilliant attorney and a straight up great man. He is honest and up front about everything and doesn't judge. On top of that, extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to and has a great since of humor. He always returned my calls and gave great advise. During those 5 years, I was going to school so money was very tight. I remember when I needed to pay Mr. Ursha for his services. I needed a little more time to come up with the money. He gave me some extra time. Most lawyers wouldn't do that. He was very patient with me and I am so thankful for that. Mr. Ursha has the up-most integrity and truly wants the best for his clients. I am writing this review today because I was given a second chance at starting a professional life due to Mr. Ursha's services, kind heart, and professionalism. I am so blessed to have Mr. Ursha as an attorney and friend. I feel that it's my responsibility to pay it forward. I have recommend Mr. Ursha to friends in that past and he has always come through for them. I would trust Mr. Ursha with my life. This gentleman is a SAINT and I can't say enough good things about him. If you want a phenomenal attorney contact Mr. Ursha, you will not be disappointed.
