Starting your own business can be scary. When I started Rich Law Office, I knew I was going to be taking a risk. Supporting my family and furthering my career by betting on myself. Well the bet is PAYING OFF!
It is fantastic to be able to help people who need me. I had been a prosecutor for all of my legal career, so criminal defense was something I knew I could do right away. It has been truly amazing to be able to help and support those who have no one to turn to. There have been so many cases that I have represented someone who has been wronged by the system. They don't understand how they got put in the position that they are in. I love being able to walk them through what is happening, why it is happening, and how we can get them through it.
By just being a caring person in general I take the time to get to know my clients and what they are going through. So many have been affected by something that was out of their control, whether it be illness, the Covid pandemic, loss of a job or loved one and it started their life in a downward spiral. If you are familiar with anyone at all that has been caught in that spiral, it is so hard to get out. I always tell my clients "Control what you can, and don't worry about the rest." It won't be easy to get out of the spiral, but this is where we start, we declare that right now is the end of it.
The phone calls, emails and reviews that I get from my clients letting me know how I helped save them is something that keeps me motivated and loving this job! It's not just about the not guilty we got at trial, or the dismissals that we were able to secure before even going to trial, but actually listening to them. So many other people disregard them. I treat them like they should be, I treat whatever they are going through like it's the most important thing in MY LIFE, because it's the most important thing in theirs! Some days are hard, but it's worth it!
