Richard Southard, is amazing, words cannot describe how grateful I am for choosing him as my lawyer. When I first called Mr.Southard and explained my case he knew exactly what i was charged with and assured me that everything was going to be alright. Which was something that i was looking for in a lawyer, I knew when i made the right decision when I went into his office with a welcoming smile and then he had shown me proof of my charges. Again, he had shown me his confidence so well that, he knew he was going to beat this case and get my charged drop. During my court date, I wasn't even in court for no longer than 30 mins and the DA offered me an ACD which was what Mr.Southard and I agreed on. My case is now dismissed and sealed, I couldn't Thank Richard Southard enough. He was very affordable, informing and caring, which was everything I could ask for. I am sure that I wont get into trouble ever again but if I or any other of my loved ones are in a sticky situation, he will be the first person to call.

This guy definitely knows what he's doing. I've got myself into a lot of trouble when I was young and didn't realize all the dangers of drinking and driving when I was so drunk that I drove on the wrong side of the road, only stopping when I met the police car bumper to bumper coming straight at me. To make things worse, I blew a crazy .26 into the breathalize. Moreover, the cops tried to press criminal charges against me for almost smashing into them. I was looking to get at least a felony DWI charge, which would put a cross to my dream of becoming a physician. I'm still not sure how, but Mr. Southard was able to work his magic and got my felony charges reduced to a traffic violation! Would recommed him to anybody in need of legal assistance and he has already helped many of my friends.

I would not be alive today if I was not for the hard work and dedication of Richard Southard. Rich is single focus from the day he took on my case was to get me the deal that I wanted. And he NEVER did anything without that goal in mind.



I was in an impossible situation and thanks to Rich Southard I avoided what could have been a very dark period in my life. Rich is warm, personable, patient and understands what it takes in front of the judge and "behind the scenes".



When you are in trouble and your life is about to take a turn for the worse there are several decisions you must make. The one choice you can not get wrong is hiring a true professional defense lawyer. Richard Southard is the best choice you can make. Why roll the dice with a young kid or a snake oil sales person? Hire a winner who will get you the best result possible.



I owe my future to him.

I was slightly bewildered when trying to choose an attorney and unsure of which to choose out of the countless that work in Manhattan. I felt very assured after my initial consultation and I wasn't let down. I was kept well informed at all times and the matter was dealt with swiftly and effectively. If I need another criminal lawyer at some point then I will use LORS again.

I am extremely pleased with Richard's professional skills and knowledge or law. If it weren't for him I would be in a very unpleasant financial situation.

Richard went all out of his way to help me win DWI case I was charged with. He never stopped (almost 2 years), even in situations when I frankly thought that this case is completely hopeless. He got all of the charges dismissed and I have a fresh start because of him.

I hope that there are more attorneys like Richard Southard!!!
