Mark D. Richards
(Senior Partner )


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

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.

In the past ten years I have represented clients in both State and Federal court charged with a variety of crimes, as well as appellate representation. While I have represented individuals charged with serious felonies all the way down to traffic offenses, I realize that each client’s situation is uniquely different, and of the utmost importance to them. That is why the cornerstone of these representations has 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.
