WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Richard is quite simply an excellent construction lawyer. He zeros in on the issues, is efficient and works well with our entire team."


MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"The most important aspect of the relationship with the client is trust. Everything I do is aimed at building trust. Clients have to trust that when I’m handling their matter, I handle it as if it as my own personal matter. I want them to feel that they can attend to business knowing that the matter is being handled and take the worry off of their shoulders. In order to do this, I have to really know their business, the goals for the particular matter, the internal politics at the client, and any budget constraints. And, of course, I have to produce the results aligned with the client’s goals, and make my direct client contact look good internally – based on both results and cost. If you do this time and again, you will become a trusted advisor."
