About Richard
Biography
I mostly represent people who have been treated unfairly in the workplace. This covers a wide range of legal issues, including wrongful termination, unpaid wages, workers' compensation rights, and unlawful harassment and retaliation. I also represent people in other areas of the law if they have a righteous case but are unable to find an attorney. Please call or email me if you have questions or would like to schedule a legal consultation.
