About Richard
Biography
I specialize in toxic torts, asbestos, and professional malpractice disputes. I am also one of the few persons to have litigated Housing for Older Persons Act or "HOPA" disputes. For a sample outline of the steps necessary to perfect compliance with the HOPA defense, please contact me at.
In addition, I have defended accountants, engineers, physicians, and orthodontists from malpractice claims. I currently defend two major automotive manufacturers from ongoing asbestos related disputes. I have represented property owners and homeowners associations in a wide range of real estate matters, from litigation to compliance.
