I have had the pleasure of knowing Richard for approximately 15 years. He handled the oral argument for one of my cases before the Florida Supreme Court in the late 1990's, and handled the needs of my client with the greatest degree of expertise possible. In the subsequent years, I have had the distinct pleasure of interacting with him on numerous occasions, and find him to be one of the finest attorneys in the entire state of Florida. His skill as an appellate attorney in the field of workers' compensation in Florida is unsurpassed. His experience over the course of five decades has placed him at the very top level of practitioners, and I would heartily endorse him to anyone in need of representation at both the trial and appellate court levels on even the most complex cases. Despite the passage of so many years of truly distinguished service to his clients and the legal community, Richard remains active and totally committed to the highest legal ideals of professionalism and service.
