Excellent and very well-qualified lawyers. The cost for this extremely complex case was relatively steep for my pocketbook, but they did a very thorough and effective job. I was impressed with the Richardson Firm.

We could not have had better legal representation. Jim Richardson has represented us in federal court and various Texas trial and appellate courts for over 15 years. He has been extremely responsive to meeting our legal needs.

My regret is not having engaged this superior firm at the beginning of the case. The firm offers stellar legal services, including communicating with the client in all phases regarding the merits of the suit and any potential roadblocks. In my opinion, they are a superior provider of legal services, irrespective of the case’s complexity. The financial investment I made yielded a favorable conclusion.
