Just call Richard. He is an a amazing attorney. He came to my rescue when I had no where to turn. A lady with illegally tinted windows either thought she could beat me or never looked and made an illegal sharp right turn across the bike lane to get a prime parking place. I was knocked out and taken t...o the hospital for a four-day stay and surgery. When I was in the hospital I realized I was in deep. I needed help. I called the Law Firm of Richard L. Duquette, @911law. Richard is a cyclist, triathlete and has been intimately involved for decades in the athletic scene of San Diego and also helping bikers who are injured. He came to the hospital within an hour of me calling and he explained what my options were. He told me it would be tough. I had no idea what he meant. The driver changed her story three times and her insurance company, Travelers, said it was my fault, I rode recklessly, I shouldn't have been where I was (in the bike lane), I should have stopped correctly, and I "fell" off my bike. Travelers then proceeded to not make a single offer, not acknowledge any demands or attempts to settle for a year and a half. They villanized, denied, delayed, deceived, lied, and blamed me over and over. Richard took time and got to know me. He sincerely cared about my health and the long-term effects. Richard is thorough at covering all the bases multiple ways to draw a picture of fault. He expected a lot out of me but he was willing to spend money on my case and willing to go to trial. Both are very rare in personal injury. He used his experience and connections to gather an all-star cast of experts to help me. They all soon realized I was not at fault in any way in this accident. In November and December, our expert's depositions went well. Richard caught Travelers experts in several lies. Because of this we won every motion, fought off attempts to delay the Jan 11th trial date. Dec 13th at 1:30pm, two days after beating back a delay attempt (again he caught their lawyer in a lie in front of the judge), Travelers finally realized they were beaten and would lose badly at trial. By 5pm it was finally over. Friday, Dec 14th, we went to court and read the settlement into the record so they couldn't attempt any more deceit. On Dec 31st, the day before my birthday I received my settlement. So If god forbid, you ever find yourself in this situation(especially if you are a member of the San Diego Triathlon and Cycling scene), call Richard Duquette. He and his wife, Kim and their team @911law worked their butts off for me. For that, I will be eternally grateful.

I heard about Richard through a mutual friend. When I did my initial consult with Richard he explained to me all of the processes that were unique to my situation. We went over pricing and pricing was very affordable based off the time constraints that we were dealing with. I was thoroughly happy w...ith the end result of everything concerning my case. If I ever need legal representation again I will definitely be calling Richard.

I hired Mr. Duquette for my DUI case and he did an outstanding job. He is extremely meticulous in his preparation and is very experienced in DUI case law. As a result, he was able to settle my case with the lowest possible charges where it even surprised the court judge. Mr. Duquette also represen...ted me in my DMV hearing, where his vigilant work resulted in me winning my hearing, ending my suspension and restoring my driving privilege. Mr. Duquette fights for justice, plain and simple! I highly recommend Mr. Duquette. It was an honor and pleasure working with him.
