About Richard

I’ve always been driven to help others, but I first realized that my calling was that of a personal injury attorney at a very young age. As a young child, I watched my father, who was a high school teacher and basketball coach, attend law school during his summer vacation and on nights and weekends. He worked round the clock to help support his family and complete strangers alike, and his dedication to helping others was so profound, that I knew I had to follow in his footsteps. He worked hard to achieve his goals and he showed not only me, but also my brother and sister, who are also personal injury attorneys, just how rewarding the life of a personal injury attorney can be. Determined to help represent individuals and their families who have been victims of personal injury or involved in wrongful death accidents, I set off to attend law school where I not only received my law degree, but also got a taste of what it’s like to be on the receiving end of someone else’s negligence. After being involved in a severe rear-end car accident, I suffered from a herniated disc in my neck. The result of the herniation has led to decades of both conservative and aggressive care, including both a one-level cervical spine fusion and a three-level cervical spine fusion. My life was forever changed by that car accident, and I know first-hand what it’s like to suffer an injury that causes lifelong chronic pain and suffering, through no fault of my own. My personal experience, coupled with my upbringing, has given me even more motivation to fight for my clients.
