Thomas Richardson Review

Tommy Richardson is a skilled and compassionate attorney. I hired him to settle a personal injury case from a car accident and he worked hard to present my case and obtain a settlement for me. He always treated me with respect and was very knowledgeable about the court system and personal injury case...s. I would recommend him to any individual in need of an attorney in the area of personal injury, car accidents or wrongful death lawsuits.

Experienced Bicycle Accident Attorney

Tommy handled a bicycle accident for me and really went far above all my expectations. I was hit by a truck while riding on Cave Creek Road and had to have shoulder surgery. Tommy stayed on top of everything throughout the recovering and lawsuit and knew things the insurance companies didn't know w...hich greatly benefited the overall settlement. I would highly recommend his services.

Friedl Richardson Attorneys

I had a very good experience with the Friedl Richardson group back when I was still living in Phoenix. They seem to be very good in handling dog bite injury cases. I was fortunate to have been referred to them when I was attacked by a neighbor's pit bull. I have nothing against big dogs but the owner...s were really to blame on this one. They had maltreated the animal and had always let the dog loose in their yard with a small fence. I knew something bad would happen I'm just glad it was not one of my children who were bit or it could have been worse. We sued them and after a few months of battling with them, they settled with us for a good sum. I am glad we did not have to go to court but we were prepared nonetheless and Mr. Richardson has already prepped me for everything. I would gladly refer him to my friends and family back in Arizona.

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.
