He joined the Firm in 1999, becoming a Partner in 2004, and has continued to advocate for claimants before the Board at both the trial and appeal levels. Richard states: “After joining our Firm in 1999, I never looked back because, although we were a much smaller firm than the one I came from, I was able to cultivate strong interpersonal relationships with our valued clients in a way that was not possible before. As we grew larger over the years, I was able to effectuate these types of relationships on a greater and greater scale. I have found the perfect balance of providing personal advocacy on a large scale for our valued clients.”
