I saw Tucker in action in defense of a friend who was viciously attacked by powerful people out for blood. He won the case and won reimbursement for his client from the thugs who brutalized her and looked to have the power to get away with it. He sent them slithering away quickly and quietly.

I witnessed Tucker Richardson at trial when he defended my friend, Ginny Saville, owner of Botany Bay. A politically motivated SWAT team raid of her business destroyed tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars of merchandise and generated trumped up charges. Rather than settling or pleading, Mr. Richardson successfully defended Ms. Saville and helped get some of her confiscated property and funds returned to her, which no one thought was possible.

I would not hesitate to recommend Tucker Richardson III. Tucker has helped me on 2 different occasions with my daughter who has been addicted to drugs for years. Tucker was able to get her to the help she needed while also mentoring her along the way by talking to her in an honest and firm nature. He was also compassionate and caring which I was also in need of. My daughter is clean and a productive person today of which I owe a debt of gratitude to Tucker for. Thank you Tucker Richardson III Desperate Mother

Tucker went above and beyond our expectations! He not only promised us great results; he gave us even better results than we were assured. We were recommended to Tucker by a friend who consistently spoke high accolades of him. After the results we were given, we know why he is known as the best! I would recommend Tucker to anyone.

I am truly grateful for Russell Baldani There are times in one life where we place our self in bad position, we have made a poor decision that is outside our character but does not represent who we are. The law although fair can be harsh and stern. Thankfully I had Russell ow\n my team, he explained in detailed what I was up against and presented me with reasonable affordable solutions. He was very conscientious about my state of my mind and genuinely concerned about my future moving past this obstacle. He made it possible for me to understand the importance of my decisions and being a family man not to take my actions lightly. I am a much better person for this and eternally grateful. If you find yourself in tough position I highly recommend Russel and his team as a means to a fair and affordable solution.......Thanks Russ

If only all lawyers were like Tucker. The world would be a better place. He fights for what's right. He treats clients with dignity and respect. He keeps us informed as the case navigates the perilous legal waters. He knows the law, both the theory and factual aspects as well as the all-important practical side of how the local courts are run, who the players are and what they're likely to do. Tucker's number is in my cell phone. I hope I never need to say, "I need to speak with my attorney", but if I ever do, I'll call Tucker. He's also a genuinely nice guy.

I was in trouble over a little bit of pot and Tucker defended me beautifully. He got all the facts, he was able to prove that I meant no harm to anyone and was innocent of any wrongdoing (other than a little pot). The prosecutor was trying to throw the book at me -- no clue why, but it is over and I'm out with time served. I appreciate his dedication and his ability to be professional, thorough and keep not only me but my entire family calm throughout. Thank you, Tucker and Baldani, Rowland & Richardson!!!
