Amazing Experience

I have previously worked with different attorneys but Mr. Stirling has been the best. He makes sure your case is a priority to him I am able to reach him at anytime and he makes sure everything is in order sometimes it seems like he never stops working he always responds at all hours I just want him ...to know his hard work does not go unnoticed. I really appreciate him and definitely recommend him.

I am pleased to learn of his early successes since he began representing individuals in criminal defense matters. Richard is a straight shooter and when it comes to client advocacy, he'll raise the bar (and scale it). I highly endorse this attorney."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
