Honest, Direct and Results Driven

Mr. Arroyo is honest, direct, and dedicated to achieving the best, most equitable outcome for his clients. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and personable.

It is important for clients to know the good and the bad and for attorneys to actively listen to clients' concerns.

Criminal skilled advice

Richard answered the phone and gave my daughter sound advice that she needed to hear from a lawyer not a dad. The advice was to not talk to the detective without a lawyer present. Also my son who is in a different state Richard advised him to hire a lawyer so he did and received probation. Thanks... to Richard

As a general rule, I tell persons who are under police investigation to state " I have consulted with an attorney, and he has advised me not to make any statements."

Mr. Arroyo saves the day!

Mr. Arroyo is one of the finest attorneys I have ever worked with. I asked him for help and he responded immediately. He listened, he followed through. He got things done I couldn't get done myself. I am so grateful for the help Mr. Arroyo gave me. If I have any other legal issues I will be requ...esting his services. Hire this attorney. You won't regret it. A grateful beneficiary of Mr. Arroyo's skilled legal services.

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.
