Knowledgeable, professional and compassionate

Joseph Richards represented my daughter and I on a worker’s compensation death benefit case. Joseph and his team are highly professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable.

My workers comp hero

My very first workers comp situation. At first I didn't think a Lawyer could help my situation. But once I explained my situation to Joseph Richards, he explained how I had been wronged and he offered me his help. His office took care of me every step of the way. Thank you so much!

Outstanding Legal Services

My experience with the Law Office of Joseph Richards was very positive. Joseph handled my case with exceptional expertise and in a caring manner. I had many questions about the process, and Joseph was patient enough to answer my questions. He fought for my rights as an injured worker and is extreme...ly knowledgeable in his field of law. He and his staff were always helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. Staff is outstanding and proficient with the paperwork involved in the system, as well as friendly and responsive to my emails, calls, attentive to my health concerns. I received copies of my paperwork always in a timely manner, and he and his staff made the process effortless by utilizing electronic means to finalize my case during the pandemic easing my load. I highly recommend Joseph Richards and his office, and am grateful for his efforts on my behalf. I give him a full five stars!!

Highly Recommend

I would highly recommend Joseph Richards and his team. Joseph's team took the time to thoroughly understand my situation in our consultation prior to signing any paperwork. Their openness and willingness to answer all my questions in our initial consultation set them apart from other offices right aw...ay. They handled all the paperwork and took the guesswork out of a complicated situation. Additionally, Joseph worked to resolve my claim quickly. I could not have navigated through this process without his help.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Joseph since early 2015. I exclusively practice employment litigation on behalf of plaintiffs. Joseph and I refer cases to each other and collaborate or brainstorm on employment matters. I have had many opportunities to gauge and observe Joseph's knowledge and general business practice. In my opinion, Joseph is very knowledgeable in workman's compensation law. I am sure he is just as knowledge in laws relating to social security, disability and other benefits. He is experienced and has a seasoned and reliable staff working under him. I trust him and deem him to be ethical. I would send client's to Joseph for workplace injury matters. Arash Alizadeh"

"Joe, having represented both applicants and defense (employer/insurance), is able to provide prospective clients and clients alike with a dual perception of how worker's compensation really works. Knowing both offense and defense tactics, Joe is able to foresee the opposing party's strategy even before such is implemented. His knowledge and experience serves his clients well."

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.
