Experience Knowledge & Respect

Hiring Richard Warner was the best decision I made this year. He is the only lawyer I will call when I need legal counsel because he has gained my absolute trust. His experience and knowledge show in the way he handled every aspect of my case. I felt he truly cared for both me and my family. He a...nswered my calls personally. He often sent me emails to make sure I understood what was happening and what each step meant to my case. No question or concern I had was ever a bother. I am confident that had I not had Mr. Warner's counsel through out my case and present with me in court the matter may not have gone in my favor. I am not a wealthy person by any means. I come from a proud working class family. Richard Warner treated all of us with more then kindness. He treated us with dignity and respect. He is a good person that you can trust and that is priceless.

Hard-working and caring

Hiring Mr. Warner was the best decision for me and my family. Not only is he very knowledgeable in his legal field, he was there for me every step of the way. Anytime I had a question he would respond within a day or sooner. Every question I had was answered. I felt he gave me great advice to hel...p me make decisions as the case went along. But there is much more to Mr. Warner than just being a great and responsive attorney. Mr. Warner was one of the key reasons I was able to make it through my difficult and emotional legal journey. My case was unfortunately in the media and Mr. Warner took every step to keep the impact of that to a minimum. Mr. Warner genuinely cared about me and my family and understood the emotions we were going through. He was there for me from start to finish, and for that I am truly grateful.
