What Makes Us Different?  Seven Key Factors do…

Experience: Richard offers clients 30 years of seasoned experience–saving them time and money–but he also gives them personalized,one-on-one attention each step of the way without the costs of a big firm. RICHARD has handled several hundred cases for individuals, start-ups and large companies alike. RICHARD has also represented clients in numerous mediations, arbitrations and other proceedings throughout Northern California.

Attention: Richard understands the value of personal attention and service:  In many law firms, your case won’t be handled by a senior partner unless you have a major case and are prepared to pay thousands of dollars. But Richard will personally handle your case—each step of the way. If you need to appear in court, Richard will be at your side. Your case is never “too small” and we will not pass off your case off to an inexperienced associate or legal assistant or make you feel like you’re in a “mill.”

Professionalism: Richard leverages his broad background of legal and business experience to save you time and money and get your case resolved without the stress and pain of endless litigation and court appearances. Because Richard has handled several hundred cases and has counseled large and small companies and is a trained negotiator and mediator, he can often negotiate practical solutions to many legal problems that will save you time, money and stress. At the same time, he has the experience to take your case all the way when settlement is not an option.

Compassion: Richard is professional, yet, down-to-earth and compassionate. Despite his experience and credentials, he is not aloof or intimidating. Richard understands that each client is different and that they are often facing difficult choices at a very stressful time. Richard will listen carefully, take the time to analyze the circumstances unique to each client, and help them make the best decision.

Efficiency: We keep our overhead low to save you time and money while allowing you to get the benefit of a senior attorney at your side–with the goal of minimizing stress and maximizing efficiency.

Affordable: Finally, we are very affordable—about half the cost of a lawyer of similar experience at a big firm. And no additional attorneys to pay for.
