Mark D. Richards
(Senior Partner )

 

In the past twenty years I have represented clients in both State and Federal courts charged with a variety of crimes ranging from First Degree Homicide, drug conspiracies, Vehicular Homicide and Sexual Assault.

I have tried over 75 jury trials, ranging from simple two day Operating While Intoxicated trials to month long homicide trials.

The cornerstone of these representations have been a thorough investigation both factually and legally of all defenses so that no potential defenses are left unexplored or unlitigated. This "leave no stone unturned" type of representation has led to numerous successful outcomes for my clients.

If you or your clients have potential criminal exposure, do not hesitate to call or email for a free consultation. The sooner representation is secured the sooner your rights are protected.
