Amazing Lawyer

We cannot thank Richard enough for his legal help. He navigated us through an urgent and unforeseen business matter that essentially saved our business. His broad range of legal knowledge in combination with his demeanor made Richard amazing to work with. Upon blindly stepping into our situation, he ...was able to hear months worth of interactions and not only make sense of it, but tactically approach the next steps. Throughout this entire matter, Richard communicated thoroughly with us and the others involved while compassionately maintaining a sense of urgency for our matter. We have so much respect for Richard as not only a lawyer, but as a person. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

10 OUT OF 5 STARS

I was directly referred to Richard Hill by another lawyer who spoke highly of him. After reaching out to Richard, he promptly got back to me with information and legal advice regarding what processes would need to take place for my situation that occurred during the closing of a home. Not only was Ri...chard remarkably responsive, he helped me get out ahead and has additionally gone to bat for me at other times. I have recommended friends to Richard, all who have been elated with his services. Without hesitation or question I would continue to encourage potential clients to seek Richard's legal services.

Like Goldilocks: not too little, not too much. Just right.

Rich Hill did a great job of engineering a difficult and completely non-standard building purchase agreement for my company. He listened to me and addressed all of my company's unusual needs, and still managed to cover all of the legal details that would have been otherwise neglected. Rich was pres...ent without being overbearing, organized without being inflexible. Rich is unafraid to step up to bat, but keeps his time and expense manageable.

Patient, specific and knowledgeable

I hired Rich for some work I needed on some real estate matters for our homeowners association. Rich was accessible, timely and very literate in the matters we needed him for.

EXCELLENT LAWYER

In an age of online reviews, I have only felt compelled once before to leave an online rating. However, impressed by an extensive knowledge base spanning far beyond legal matters, I have now utilized Richard Hill's services twice. His ability to understand that each client's case is of importance, al...ong with his corresponding timeliness and accessibility, helped me feel consistently well connected to the status of my case. Richard is not only extremely communicative but takes further steps to educate his clients. With no prior background in the legal system, I am now confident in my ability to understand the legal terminology pertaining to my case due to Richard investing his time in educating me as his client. I am equally as confident that Richard is a phone call away to thoroughly explain any details I may need clarification about. Any future clients upon an initial consultation will instantly realize how approachable, knowledgeable, and just in intentions Richard is. His strong connections to the community and hence his broad range of contacts, increases his value as a professional; I have never met anyone with the ability to network as he is able to, which is vital for the success of clients' cases. With years of experience and a passion for assisting clients, I would HIGHLY recommend Richard's legal services. You will never feel "lost" in any capacity with Richard representing you; you will only feel empowered with Richard being on your team.
