Big ego with little result

Incredibly combative and not someone you want fighting for your case. He's from Detroit and really enjoyed being known while trying to fight a case that should have been a quick and straightforward procedure. Insistent and challenging to work with, you would be better off representing yourself. As so...meone who is an African American, you would think this black man would want to fight for the rights and voices of our people, but this man is a disgrace to the field and our race. This individual requires scrutiny from the board of law, and their ability to represent should also be reviewed. With as many years under his belt, you would think this egotistical man would be able to handle a juvenile case with ease and sensibility.

Best in the business

A good lawyer knows the law; a great lawyer knows the judge. Richardson knows both. It was clear from the very beginning that he is a masterful craftsman and well-known and respected throughout the legal community. When my case started, I just knew I was going to prison. By the time Richardson wa...s through, I was on the way home a free man. He is, in short, the man.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I am honored to have worked with attorney Travis Richardson of the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving, Ltd. on several difficult cases, and based on my past and current experience of having Mr. Richardson as a trusted and able colleague and co-counsel I am pleased to endorse him. Mr. Richardson brings a wealth of experience and boundless energy and zeal to the representation of his clients. Mr. Richardson's skill as an advocate are honed by his first hand knowledge of the judiciary and the judicial system, which he gained in part by his past work as a Cook County Circuit Judge. In the family court system our judges serve as a jury as one, and Mr. Richardson's awareness of how Judges process information, deal with evidence and legal argument, both verbal and written, equip him well to ably present a client's case.

Experience

Rating:  7.2 (Very Good)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Censure issued in IL, 2008

updated on 07/02/2020

Censure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Travis’s comment:

“A censure reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct, but that the violation is not so serious to warrant a sanction that would affect the lawyer’s authority to continue to practice law. As a result, censure does not affect the authority of a lawyer to continue to practice law. Respondent engages in significant bar association activities, including for the American Bar Association, the National Bar Association, and the Cook County Bar Association.”

Work Experience

2017 - 2018

Judge, Cook County Circuit Court
