Richards is not for you. But if you want a fighter, a man who will hire the best investigators, go for the jugular, strike fear in the opposition as he LITIGATES to YOUR best interests, then Richards is your man. Don’t

John Richards is an excellent attorney, with exceptional knowledge of the law. There is always someone there when you call who can help, weather it's Mr. Richards, or Sugey his assistant. They both are patient, pleasant, and very helpful. Mr. Richards looks out for the best interest of his clients, and cares about his clients. I am grateful for all he has done for me.
