Practice Areas

Criminal Defense 25%

My past cases ranged from traffic infractions, through misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, and even serious felonies. Remember, just because someone is charged with a crime, does not mean they did it; but you need to take a strong defense quickly.

25%
Divorce and Separation 20%

My primary function is representing parties in divorces, to protect their interests, while guiding all parties in finding solutions that are best for the children (if any). Remember, divorce hurts the children too, and they deserve to be protected.

20%
Real Estate 20%

I have been licensed as a real estate broker and property manager, dating back to 2003. I have extensive certifications and designations (additional education) that bring extra knowledge of how the market, and laws guiding practice work.

24 years

20%
Litigation 15%

My approach for litigation is to find solutions. This sounds simplistic, yet it is complex. The easy path is to file a law suite, the problem is that this approach costs a lot of money; so my first goal is to stop litigation where possible.

15%
Arbitration 10%

As an arbitrator, I listened with an impartial ear, evaluated the evidence presented, and reached a ruling that was in line with the facts of the case, within the guiding law. Now as an attorney, I bring that experience to defend my clients.

13 years

10%
Mediation 10%

Mediation is the practice of helping two divergent sides, find common ground and reach a settlement to a conflict, while avoiding the long and costly process of civil litigation.

Richard Foster was referred by the bar association in Clark County. He took charge immediately in transferring our timeshare to Christopher Hymes. He stayed in close contact with us. Any questions that we had, he answered immediately.We appreciate everything you’ve done for us.

Impressive

I was lucky to have the privilege of having Mr Foster as my attorney for my very difficult divorce. He wasextremely patient with my disabilities and inability to understand the process of what was going on. Mr. Foster walked me through each and every process hands on. He made a very difficult pr...ocess feel easy and painless! I could feel his support and concern for me as his client throughout the entire process of my divorce! Not only this but he was fast and efficient. He didn't allow a single bit of time to be wasted! I would suggest him to anybody looking to get a divorce! He is devoted to his cases through and through, The returned phone calls quickly and efficiently oh, was available by text message, informative, patient, and we'll repeat needed information without distress!

Quick and Easy

Richard made the process of resolving my traffic issue incredibly painless. He was able to set reasonable expectations ahead of time and the outcome was even better than expected due to the work Richard put in ahead of time.

Mr. Andrew Carlson

Richard helped my wife and I to settle a lawsuit that had been ongoing since 2016. We were being sued by a previous landlord for water damages to a house that we had rented. He was hired in 2020 after 4 long years of us trying to fight this battle representing ourselves and with other council. Richar...d made sure to let us know of our options and rights frequently. He was easy to work with and very responsive. I highly recommend his services.

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.
