About The Firm

A Passion For Justice. The Experience For Win.

Richardson PLLC is a unique law firm that prioritizes personalized legal services for everyday people.  We operate almost entirely virtually, and with a web-based law firm, we’re able to pass the cost-savings of having lower overhead to our clients.  At the same time, it allows us the opportunity to increase access to justice. 

Our firm’s virtual model significantly reduces operational costs, allowing us to provide cost-effective legal services. Through a secure portal, we ensure seamless communication and document sharing, breaking down barriers to legal access. Despite our virtual presence, we maintain a commitment to providing top-quality legal care that matches or surpasses traditional firms.

We offer uniquely tailored legal services, ensuring that each client receives the diligence and dedication they deserve. Our goal is to empower individuals to proactively secure their estates’ future or honor loved ones’ legacies through our estate administration services.

What Clients Say About Us?

"I met with Attorney Richardson for what I thought was a quick, general legal question. But instead of answering that quick question she went above and beyond to research my specific situation, uncover information about it that I wasn't even aware of, provide a detailed explanation as to what had already happened, and advise me what to do next. All of my questions were answered, even ones that I didn't know I had! And then after the session she sent me a copy of the documents she had found for me, which I very much appreciate. I've worked with several lawyers and this one is truly a blessing, if I have any further issues I will definitely contact her again!"
