Personal injury

I discussed an injury case with Richard and he said I can’t sue on that case but now I discovered a different reason to sue but he won’t call me back. Roger 480-980-6078.

Ethical, Honest and Kind

Richard D. Lyons handled a personal injury case regarding a significant knee injury. Methodically and cautiously was how he handled my case. I'm pleased to report a very successful outcome and thank Richard for his thorough professionalism.

Lack of communication

He was extremely hard to reach and didn't do what he said he was going to do, especially upsetting and disappointing since I paid his fee up front.

Replied last November 12, 2019

Because this is anonymous I cannot know who this former client is. I give almost all clients my personal cell phone number and speak with them on evenings, weekends, and even on vacation. Additionally, whenever I have taken a flat fee in advance, which is very rarely, I have spent far more time on the matter than the fee paid. Other than a legal prohibition against an action, the only reason I have ever failed to do something for a client, it is because I'm asked to do something that is not in the client's best interest. I always communicate that determination to clients in no uncertain terms. I would be very surprised if all of that did not happen in this case. I would be happy to discuss further with this former client offline, and I wish him the best.

MY Hero

Richard Lyons is a terrific lawyer. He helped my take on the VA and was by my side the entire way. He supported me when I didn't think I could go any further. Richard made the VA stand up and take responsibility for their actions. The best lawyer ever.

A Lawyer Unlike All Others

Richard Lyons is an excellent lawyer. I have used him in several litigation matters, and he is very knowledgeable in business and contract litigation. He makes sure I understand everything and he is readily available whenever I need to talk to him. His fees are more than reasonable. I would hi...ghly recommend Richard to anyone.

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.
