Outstanding Attorney!

I have relied on Richard's experience for 20 + years to resolve very complex contract disputes in the insurance industry. Richard is well respected amongst his peers in the Central Texas legal community. He is consistently efficient and effective. He is responsive and very fair. Richard is a resour...ce I heavily rely on. He is a trusted friend!

I have known Richard for over 25 years and have found him to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, cheerful, and reverent. He has always represented me well and successfully and I recommend him wholeheartedly. You will not find a man with greater integrity.

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.
