I primarily handle personal injury cases, and almost every case has insurance. As such, I routinely handle coverage and bad faith issues.

Litigation 10%

My education and background has focused on representing people in court. Litigating cases is much different then simply pushing paper. I don't draft wills, trusts or contracts, but if one is at issue, I will be there to try the case.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

great experience for what it was.

Rich was great. he communicated with me the entire time. He worked with me for over two years and was very patient whenever I had questions or didn't understand something. He always was honest about how he felt about my case and what the difficulties would be so that I was never caught off guard in t...he process.That type of honesty was greatly appreciated. I feel he went above and beyond to make it as pain free and stress free as possible.

Highly recommend...

As a person who did not have any knowledge on hiring attorneys..(who really does.) I consulted with a few. I ended up going back to Rich as he took time to talk and review my case with me. Always returned my calls/emails. Addressed my concerns and always dealt with the details. I ended up hiring ...him again when I got injured.. He kept me up to date and in the loop without pressures so I could heal. He is an excellent attorney who will go above for his clients.

Personal Injury Case

We would definitely use Rich again! He is very personable, knowledgeable, hard working, and respectful. He was there for us whenever we needed answers to current questions and always kept us informed as to what was going on each step of the way. He took our case seriously and professionally.

Great personal injury lawyer

Rich has handled 2 separate personal injury cases for me. He was excellent at handling all the legal stuff while I focused on healing. I wouldn't even think of hiring anyone else. He helped me find good doctors to make sure I got the best care for a speedy recovery. He took care of everything with th...e insurance companies. He was excellent at responding to me whenever I had a question.

Great follow-through, thorough and trustworthy.

Rich handled two divorces for me over the years. He was patient, always thinking ten steps ahead of the situation, very professional, excellent follow-through and great attention to detail.

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.
