About

Veronica Richards is both an Attorney and a Nurse- Practitioner. She understands both the medical and legal aspects of your case and knows which medical professionals to ask the correct questions. Suing a doctor is not something she rushes into, she takes it very seriously.In addition to the ability to review medical documents and understand the jargon used by health care professionals, Veronica Richards regularly consults with recognized physicians and specialists, as well as nurses for input in evaluating your treatment, your future recovery and your need for future medical services.Because of her strong belief in holding physicians and medical professionals accountable to the patients they treat, and mistreat, she is very selective about the cases she agrees to take. Her clients generally come to her with the most severe types of injuries and suffer some long-term disability as a result of medical negligence. Over the course of a year, Attorney Richards may review 250-300 cases; but in order to give her clients the attention they deserve, she takes only a small percentage. Attorney Richards recognizes that many of the cases she declines to take do have merit, so she will do what she can to help you get representation from other attorneys.When you meet with Veronica Richards, you can be assured that she won't put pressure on you to do what you're not willing to do. She will explain how she can help you and then move forward with her investigation-all at no charge to you.

There really are no words to describe the commitment to her clients and the pursuit of justice that drives Veronica Richards in what she does. She manages to blend caring, honesty, excellence, thoroughness, communication and understanding of where the client is coming from at every stage of a case. Her three best assets are simply her precision in seeing and handling every detail, her determination to get her client compensated in the best way possible for what they have endured and most importantly, her ability to be truly sensitive and genuine in her understanding of what you have gone through. I felt completely heard, consulted and informed about every step I needed to be involved in and felt comfortable with every step they moved forward without needing my input. I couldn't have asked for a better scenario for having to deal with this very difficult situation in my life. The entire team at this law firm was amazing. Veronica takes each case and attacks it as if she experienced it herself, yet somehow still manages to make it all about the client.

When your heart is broken, due to the unexpected loss of a loved one, it can be difficult to find the strength to deal with the crisis and legal difficulties that ensue. Veronica, by way of her dedication and compassion, helped to provide focus and guidance. She dealt professionally with every aspect and shielded the family from any unnecessary distressing interactions. The legal process can be trying especially when it involves the revisiting the death of a loved one. The defendant’s attorney drags the issue out as long as possible, trying to force a speedy settlement. Veronica remained diligent in the pursuit of reparations. While we became a little anxious for the case to end, Mrs. Richards kept on plowing through the evidence and worked with medical experts to strengthen the case. This case drug on for about 3 years, never once did she sway, bend or waiver. The quick way out was not an option. Thank God for Veronica, while nothing can bring my daughter back, I know that the educational future of my grandchildren is intact and I credit this to Mrs. Richards. Thank you for all that you have done for us. I do not believe that anyone could have ever done a better job!

Veronica Richards helped to give our child a life she deserved. She was with us every step of the way and truly cared about not only our daughter but us as well. Through it all she proved to be the toughest lawyer and did not settle for anything less then what our child needed. She helped us understand everything that was going on and kept us in the loop during a very tough time. We would recommend her very highly to anyone who needs a lawyer.

I was subject to medical malpractice. Attorney Richards assisted me and my husband in our case. It resulted in a fair settlement without court. We were very satisfied how she guided us every step of the way

There is not a better lawyer or a better person you could hire if you or a loved one was the victim of medical malpractice. She treated us with respect and kindness and we were never left wondering what was going on in our case. Her medical knowledge and resources helped us through a very difficult time. I do not think any other attorney could have helped us the way she did. Our settlement was more than we could have ever expected, but her support and kindness far surpassed any financial settlement we received.

I was told that Veronica Richards was the best, but I could not imagine the service and care that she provided to me and my family during our case. She is tough on the other side but so easy to work with. We never felt like we did not know what was going on in our case. She is wonderful.
