I was a Superior Court Judge involved in trial work for 20 years. Much of the trial work was as a Fast Track Civil Judge. Before this, I was a Trial Attorney for 11 years. Half of my arbitrations were medical malpractice including Kaiser Arbitrations and other medical contract arbitrations. The remainder of the cases involved Probate issues, Contract interpretation, including insurance bad faith, Employment law, Real Estate situations, Partnership Dissolutions, and Attorney Fee disputes.

I have used Richard Flier in several medications of cases with my clients. He showed compassion, understanding and a willingness to work hard to help my clients reach settlements. Always did get the goal. I would recommend his mediation services to anyone wanting to shirt circuit the high cost of lit...igation.

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.
