About Richard
Biography
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.

Hell yeah hire Richard Molezzo
I 100% recommend Richard Molezzo. He went above and beyond to help me out of a bad situation. He was upfront and very helpful when explaining my options. Best case, worst case scenarios. Happy to say I walked away with the best case scenario thanks to Rich.

Rich was great. He got me through a really rough case even when I wasn’t helping. Hope I never need him again but I’m keeping his number just in case.
