About Richard
Biography
Rich has spent his whole life as a Willamette Valley resident, and obtained his Doctorate of Jurisprudence (J.D.) from the University of Oregon Law School in 1986. While continuing his studies at the University of Oregon, he served as the Chief Justice for the University’s Constitution Court, before graduating with a high class ranking. His legal career began in 1986 when he was hired to work for an insurance defense firm, but Rich quickly learned that it was those who were injured that truly needed strong legal representation against insurance companies. In 1988, Richard began representing injured clients, and his first jury trial in 1992 resulted in a record breaking verdict of $500, in compensation for a low impact, soft tissue case. For more than 20 years since that point, Rich has had helped hundreds of clients obtain fair compensation for their injuries.
Rich also has an active interest in the community. He has been serving on the Keizer City Council since 2000, and took the initiative to in creating Keizer Rapids Park, a 120 acre riverfront park. In recognition of his outstanding leadership and support of regional, intergovernmental cooperation, Rich was awarded the Gwen VondenBosch Regional Leadership Award by the Mid Willamette Valley Council of Governments. In 2008, Rich was presented the Department of Interior’s Cooperative Conservation Award by secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne in Washington D.C.
While Rich has been awarded with many achievements, he still remains committed to his clients and to his community.

Excellent Service!
I hired Richard Walsh after an automobile accident in which my car was rear ended. I did not have much time left before the statute of limitations, so Rich and his assistant, June, worked tirelessly to assist me before the deadline. My injuries were primarily soft tissue which made the case more cha...

Highly Recommend!
Mr. Walsh handled my daughter's accident and we were very pleased with his representation. I have referred many family and friends to him, and will continue to use his services in the future (but let's hope we don't need to).

Auto Accident Attorney.
After my auto accident I was overwhelmed and Mr Walsh took all of the stress from me and handled everything with aplomb. The minefield of negotiation with insurance companies became a non-issue once I spoke with Mr Walsh at the beginning. He is an excellent attorney and he kept me informed through...

One would hope they would never be in a situation to where a personal injury attorney was needed. But when that time does arise it is nice to know that there is a law firm in our area that will come to the aid of even the most nieve individual and put them at ease in a process that is probably going...
