Richard Thomas White

Let's face it: you never want to have to hire an attorney. But when someone has done you wrong and you need a sword, or someone else is coming after you and you need a shield, you have no choice. When I end up in those situations, the two most important things I look for in an attorney is their... deep knowledge of the law and an ability to understand the economics of the case. Richard does both of these better than any other attorney I have worked with. In one case he handled for me his deep knowledge of the law allowed us to obtain critical damning evidence and present it to the judge while keeping it from the person who filed a frivolous claim against me. This tactic allowed us to win the case before we walked into the courtroom. Most legal affairs boil down to money, and Richard understands clearly how the legal costs fit into the overall financial equation. In another case he handled for me he recommended a strategy that resulted in smaller fees for his firm, but was appropriate for the issue, and we won. The last thing you want is to win the dispute, but spend so much in legal fees to win that you end up losing. Several lawyers with whom I have worked take this approach and do everything to maximize their billings. Richard doesn't do that - you can trust him to set the right legal and economic strategy for the issue and execute accordingly. I hope that you never have to hire an attorney, but if you do, I strongly recommend that you hire Richard. I have worked with him several times over the last 20 years and gotten great results every time.
