What a true diamond in the ruff. With all the attorneys available these days finding one that goes above and beyond for their clients is a rare find. Lance is a dedicated, knowledgeable and upfront individual. He listened to my concerns and made no demands. I was truly fortunate enough to experience his ability to handle such a trying situation. The compassion he has for his clients is to be commended. I can say that I value my experience with Lance and would
highly recommend his services.

Lance Richard showed professionalism and compassion when I needed it most. He stepped up for me and had my back 100%. He believed in me when I was unsure. He has shown me how to come out on top and stronger than ever. I would never consider using any other Attorney now that I have worked with the best.

Lance was very understanding and accessible, loved being able to contact him via email. Marriage included some past drug abuse, Lance never judged. Mediation was a total failure for us. Lance was prepared for court and to discuss the effects my drug problem had on the marriage and my rehab. At the last minute he was able to negotiate a settlement that was very fair. His fee was reasonable and the refund on his retainer came promptly, another plus! Excellent lawyer to have on your side.

Mr. Lance Richard was so great to me and my family during my court case. Being that I live down in the keys he made it so I didn't have to travel back and forth unless completely necessary which was very efficient he is also cost efficient and didn't try to take my money. He fought to give me the best possible outcome for me and my future as well as for my case. I thank him so very much and recommend him to any one who needs a very good lawyer for a great price.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
