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!

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...
"I endorse this lawyer. Joseph is a meticulous attorney who handles his cases with the utmost professionalism. In all my experiences with him and his office, they have been nothing short of great. When someone asks for a worker's compensation attorney, Joseph is the person I think of."
"After working with Joseph on a few workers' compensation matters I can wholeheartedly say that Joseph is always thinking about his clients' best interests. He understands the difficulty that can arise in the workers' compensation process and always does what he can to minimize the frustration and burden for injured workers. In addition, Joseph is always upfront and honest when speaking with his clients. Lastly, if there's something that Joseph feels he can do to help, no matter how minute, he will go out of his way to do so."
"Mr. Richards demonstrates compassion and understanding in representing his clients. Professional and experienced."
"Joseph is a straightforward and hardworking attorney that seeks the best results for his clients. I recommend any prospective client to contact Joseph and speak with him. You will walk away being impressed."
"Attorney Joseph Richards is an outstanding professional with several years of experience dedicated to workers compensation. He and his staff are both knowledge and friendly. I highly recommend Attorney Richards when you or someone you know has been hurt on the job."
"Joseph and I have worked together on a number of matters in the past two years. Joseph has a very calm, patient demeanor with clients and constantly works to ensure that clients' needs are met and that they are well informed throughout the process. He is also extremely well organized, which is a huge asset to his clients and his practice. I highly endorse him!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Richards will listen to his clients and thoroughly prepare to provide the best legal advocacy on behalf of his clients. Mr. Richards is knowledgeable in California workers' compensation laws."
"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."
