Posted by Chris | November 28, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

If you like going to the circus, here is your clown.

After being improperly charged, I hired Mr. Lee. He seemed competent in the interview, did a great sales job getting me to hire him. When you have a false charge filed against you that can cause you to even lose your business, you are stressed. Last thing you want is a laughing, jovial attorney th...at always asks you if you are having as much fun as he is. His reminder at every hearing 'Isn't this exciting?' does not bode well when you are stressed. He does not recognize the seriousness his clients face. Case resolution? The same 'deal' the next guy in line received who had no lawyer at all. I am calling Mark Vovos next time.

Defending My Property Against Trespassers

I caught a trespasser hunting my property without a license or i.d. This is called poaching where I come from. I peacefully relieved the suspect of his weapon with an agreement to return it a later time & location if he could produce a license. Instead, he later called police & I was charged with fir...st degree robbery involving a weapon. The poacher was not charged. Law Enforcement neglected several of their responsibilities & became the problem more so than the poacher. I have a reputation to protect & Richard Lee went to work immediately. He answered my calls personally & returned all my emails the same day, sometimes within minutes. He instantly created counter-attack strategies & prepared for offense as well as my defense. As a land-rights proponent, I was excited by the thought of a trial but Richard had my charges dropped within a week. Extremely easy to talk to and very professional. And, I really liked the fact that I could tell that Richard was pissed off a little that these charges were brought against a land owner acting in fair defense of his property. It's not too often we find attorneys that get seriously involved a case. Richard Lee is a true American warrior.

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.
