3 letters: TKO! 100% Trustworthy, Knowledgeable & Overachiever!

I do not write lightly when I say David B. Richardson is trustworthy, (highly) knowledgeable and an overachiever. His representation has helped me moved on with my life during the whole case proceeding. Please note I said I moved on with my life "during" and not after the case was closed. The stres...s and negativity from the beginning was lifted off from my shoulders. I did not have to worry if Item A was completed, if Item B was given notice, if Item C received X and so forth. My worries and sleepless nights ended when Mr. Richardson represented my family and I. He treated us with the utmost respect and always gave us his undivided attention. There were many hoops and hurdles, and although at times it was very stressful, David B. Richardson always assured my family and I that he has everything in control (and he did!). He never made us feel that our actions were limited. He did not ever hesitated to suggest different avenues to approach X, Y, and Z. He kept an opened mind and a positive attitude. We grew to know that Mr. Richardson has an extensive background of experience and valuable varieties of resources. I enjoyed working with Mr. Richardson. I am graciously thankful and grateful for his representation. If any other unforeseen events were to happen in my life, I know who to call. I profoundly recommend every single person who seeks for an attorney who is (but not limited to): well-respected, respectful, open-minded, an overachiever, courageous, intelligent, a mentor, understanding and detemined to fight for your rights and securing a meaningful recovery for yourself and family. TKO!

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.
