Client Reviews
"Richard is a great guy to work with, very quick and prompt."
"Words truly can't describe how amazing it was working with Rich! If I could leave 1000 stars I would. From our first consult call, Rich was on point, smart, sharp and everything you look for in a great lawyer. My partners and I actually jumped ship from a huge firm because of how bad the service was there, and when we found Rich, we knew we found a lifelong attorney. EVERYTHING we do will be through Rich for all future business. Rich handled and negotiated our 40-page investment agreement swiftly and brought up great points along the way. My colleagues and I highly recommend Rich if you are looking for a superstar attorney."
"I enjoyed working with Richard Gora."
"Richard is a great help for the small business like ours!"
"Rich is the best, period. His knowledge base is very expansive and just in working with me, he has assisted with civil claims to regulatory issues to even an M&A deal. Rich saved me from a potentially expensive litigation even before the case went into discovery (I was the defendant) and now he is helping me execute a stock purchase deal. I consider myself lucky to work with an attorney like him."
"Great work in a timely manner."
