I have structured my professional life around colleagues who share my goals and skills. All are excellent attorneys at the top of there craft. We share everything on a professional level and I do not hesitate to seek counsel from one or all if I have a difficult question regarding a case. So, when a client retains me for his or her defense he or she gets not one attorney but several. But make no mistake, all Court hearings and ultimate decisions are my clients and mine to make. I look at all of my clients as friends through this process. It is a team effort, one for all and all for one. This is the only way I can function. In fact, many of my prior clients are friends and have been to my home as guests. Reality for me is if you care about a person and find something no matter how small to relate to, it gives me the advantage when I stand in front of a jury and look them straight in the eye and ask them to do justice, not vengeance.

When facing charges you want to make sure that you have the right lawyer on your team. Mr. Molezzo gave me an idea of how I would be defended in court, which gave me confidence and peace of mind that I needed to go through this tough trial in my life. When I did go to court we walked into the courtho...

Rich was up front with me from day 1. Never over-promised anything but exerted a high level of confidence in his ability to represent me for my DUI case.

Couldn't ask for better
If it wasn't for Mr. Molezzo I would have been convicted of a crime that was never commited. Rich helped me through a grueling process with professionalism and great empathy. I will recommend him to everyone I know. He gets the facts but doesn't treat you like a criminal. He is truly the best. Thanks...
