I realized very early on in my career that there is no such thing as a legal "cookie-cutter." Every person that comes into my office has different needs, expectations, and desires with respect to their matter. I do not feel like I am doing my job, unless I clearly explain, up front, how I intend the matter to progress.

The RJB Law Firm is excellent! Richard is experienced and knowledgeable but even more importantly also very reassuring. These are attributes that have put my mind at ease every time I've interacted with him. He is willing to answer questions and explain the details, options and possibilities and his ongoing counsel and efforts have and continue to be crucial to my endeavors.

The Bianco Law Office is wonderful! Richard Bianco is an excellent attorney. Not only is he talented and professional, he is responsive and compassionate. His knowledge of the law and frank communication will put you at ease and give you confidence as to the best course of action for any issue. He provided legal counsel for my real estate case, and from the first time I spoke with him I felt like I had someone on my side looking out for my interests - more so than my realtor and lender. I am so grateful to Richard for his legal advice and assistance, and would definitely recommend him and his law

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Richard and his team are knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. From the initial call and throughout the entire process, I felt like they genuinely cared and knew each step to take. You will not regret working with them and having them on your side in any dispute.

Rich and his team were wonderful to work with. They were on top of everything throughout the entire process, openly communicated with me as things progressed, and their understanding of the law was top notch. The successful resolution of the case (in my favor) was icing on the cake. I will absolutely use RJB Law in the future should I need representation again (but hopefully I won't!).

100% recommend. Hands down. No hesitation or exceptions.
Rich was recommended to me by my realtor (Vince Hurteau, Continental Properties, Ltd). He spent about an hour recently helping me understand my legal options in a complicated condominium real estate situation. Rich was frank, pragmatic, objective, and refreshingly forthright about the risks of potential courses of action. His flat fee structure seemed eminently reasonable, and he radiated competence and confidence. I would recommend him to anyone.

I have had the pleasure of both working for and with Rich Bianco. To say that he's an excellent attorney is probably unfair, he's beyond that. His knowledge of the law, his methodical approach to matters is second to none and his courtroom manner is exceptional. He's a strong advocate and definitely someone that you need on your team. Even when Rich is being coy about practice areas he says he doesn't know, he does. He's that good! Consequently, I have no hesitation in recommending Rich Bianco to my UK clients who need advice and assistance in the US.

Rich is an amazingly talented attorney, and he is disciplined and hard-working. He is tenacious and will get the work done. In litigation, he is quick on his feet and very articulate. As a colleague, he is a pleasure to work with, and very reliable.
I've recently asked him to take over one as first chair of my cases, in the field of real estate litigation. He handled it exactly as it needed to be done. The client was extremely happy, as he both got what he wanted and deserved, and he also felt heard and respected. Rich was easy to communicate with, and was quick to have a plan for every situation

DC is so full of lawyers that you can't cross the street without getting subpoenas stuck to your shoes. Among all of them, though, this one here is the genuine article.
What makes Rich different is not just his legal brilliance and work ethic, but the fact that he is a certified authentic human being. We love talking to him and the folks at his office, which is not something we can say for most legal representation. He, and his staff, have answered our panicked calls about everything from violated leases to overdue invoices, and regardless of the situation, we feel better when we're done talking
