Ms. Richardson was extremely helpful and professional. Not only did she get one case dismissed, she also got a reduction of costs in reference to my case. I would definitely use her again if another issue arises that needs legal attention, and I recommend anyone going through legal woes to contact her. You won't be disappointed.

I recently had two cases of tenant relationships that required Ms. Richardson's intervention. One was a complicated eviction. Ms. Richardson's efforts were considerable and yet no additional fees were requested. The second case was less complicated than anticipated. Ms. Richardson promptly returned the portion of the retainer to which she did not feel entitled, without my asking her to do. I appreciated both her competence and financial integrity in these matters.
