Richard earned his Juris Doctorate from Nova Southeastern University and graduated Cum Laude in May of 2012. He was admitted to the Florida Bar in September of 2012 and incorporated his law practice the very
next day working out of his mother’s living room. While in law school, Richard interned for a prominent entertainment law firm as well as the Office of the State Attorney Homicide Division dealing exclusively with murder cases. He was a board member of the Nova Trial Association, Moot Court Society, the Sports and Entertainment Law Society, and was an advocate for the school’s Trial Competition Team.

Just three months into his practice, Richard was defense attorney in a jury trial where he obtained a unanimous verdict of not guilty for his client facing felony charges. Thereafter, Richard focused his practice primarily on complex business disputes, deal negotiations, and new business startups. He represents national corporations, restaurant franchises, models, professional athletes, recording artists, music producers, real estate firms, venture capitalists, talent agents, entrepreneurs, and physicians.
