Top notch

He and his office staff are excellent to work with. They kept us informed every step of the way. EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I would, and have, refer family/friends to him. Can't say enough about all they did for us through the entire process. He tells it like it is, no bull, right to the point,... no hidden agenda or surprises. So happy he represented us !!!

Easy to communicate

My entire episode was handled with tact and ease. Mr. Whitehead handled all phases of the suit without putting excess pressure or strain on me. The insurance company declined every offer and was low balling every part of the suit. I would not have sued if they had not nickeled and dimed my auto loss.... But I settled the auto loss for thousands under the actual loss. That's when I hired Mr. Whitehead for the damages part. He did an excellent job of getting my medical and disability portion of the suit resolved. While I am still suffering from the accident I have additional monies to continue therapy.

Outstanding Personal Injury Attorney

I was referred to Richard by a friend in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, after I became very concerned with how my personal injury case was progressing with another attorney in Spokane, WA. I had slipped on a icy sidewalk due to waterfall being left on during winter time at a house being used by its owner as... a business, with result of fractured wrist causing me to be off work for almost 3 months. Richard agreed to take my case and professionally coordinated with my prior attorney. He met with me several times, after he was able to get the materials sent by prior attorney. He was able to negotiate a very good settlement for me, over a 3 month period. He was definitely on top of the case, even meeting with me to view the site where I was injured. I highly recommend Richard for anyone with any type of personal injury case.
