About Richard
Biography
Prior to exclusively representing injury victims, I spent 12 years defending car accidents, slip/trip and falls, insurance claims, medical malpractice and other complex litigation matters. I was staff counsel for an insurance company for 3 of those 12 years. My prior work as an insurance defense attorney gives me tremendous insight into accident/injury cases and a distinct advantage in dealing with insurance companies and their attorneys.

Great Consult
Rick gave me a great consult following an injury in a casino for which I had a claim. He admitted that I had a complaint, but he also advised me to consider the possible blow back from filing a complaint against a major casino which helped me to weight the risk versus the potential reward. I have nev...
