My experience with Roxell Richards law firm was nothing short of incredible. The effort and energy given to my case was phenomenal, it really made my job easy. From the initial intake conversation to the close statements and disbursement I have been very impressed and pleased. I had been with two others firms before this one and they both were subpar as far as results, communication and the effort they gave. Overall I am very pleased and I’ve already recommended you guys to two individuals who have been involved in accidents. Keep up the work ethics that you guys implement here at this firm it’s noticeable and appreciated, thanks again for the seamless effort in my case.

It was a pleasure working with the Roxell Richards Law Firm. After my accident I was unsure what to do or if I had a case or how to go about it. I spoke with Roxell Richards directly about my case and she made me feel at ease when she accepted my case and told me I had nothing to worry about. The firm instantly started working on my case by setting me up with doctors, chiropractors, pain management specialists and so on. I felt like I had a team of doctors and lawyers on my side. Roxell Richards Law Firm stayed in contact with me updates and information on my case. They were there to answer all my questions and concerns. Final Roxell Richards Law Firm got the insurance company to settle in my favor for over $100000. It was pleasure working with Roxell Richards and if I ever need an attorney again, she will be my first phone call.

I was rear-ended in December 2023, and the Roxell Richards Law Firm truly went above and beyond to support me. From the very beginning, they ensured I had everything I needed to get my vehicle fixed and receive proper medical care. Their team was professional, compassionate, and efficient, guiding me through every step of the process.

I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication to my case. If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about your well-being and delivers results, I highly recommend Roxell Richards Law Firm.

Shout out to Attorney Richards and her whole team! She means what she say, "GET PAID, NOT PLAYED"! I switched to Roxell Richards Law Firm from another law firm after hearing her commercial on FM 92.1. Roxell Richards Law Firm picked up where the other law firm dropped the ball and delivered! This law team possesses professionalism and timely follow-ups with communications via text, phone call, and a portal keeping the client's best interest as a priority. They empathize with the client and WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! And now a few months later, I just got paid!!

To start, the Roxell Richard’s law firm has done a great job on both of my situations. I took interest knowing that they specialize in rideshare accidents and the fact that the team is knowledgeable and work well together. I also noticed that the firm consists of young talent from all walks of life. They are thorough and respectful over the phone, but in person, they really have it well put together to say the least. No one wants and looks to have accidents, but after they treated me so well on the first one, the moment I had the second accident, I immediately called and they got right on it! I must say, I am extremely happy with my results and you will be happy as well. My advice to you: give them a try!

My experience with Roxell Richards law firm has been overwhelming at times to say the least. I believe that this can happen in any accident case, but I can also say that when I would contact her office she has always been able to clam my anxiety and clear up any concerns I may be experiencing at the time. I would definitely recommend her if you’ re in need of a great accident lawyer. I believe she is fare and if you are dissatisfied about anything she will do her best to rectify the problem. Last but not least, with a smile on my face “I got paid and not played”. I’m loving my new vehicle!

Thank you,
Dr. Leana Jefferson

After a long strenuous battle, we were able to get our money which the firm literally promised our deposit and whatever rent monies were paid into our lease. I received that and more! I am so grateful that Ms. Richards took her to represent us with no upfront fees. It takes a lot of courage to stand up for multiple people who are minorities in an over looked area and give us the respect we deserved because we are humans. I would recommend this law firm if they can represent you depending on your legal circumstances.

I had knee surgery 2 years ago and after the car accident, it became unstable and was hurting everyday. I wasn’t so sure about getting a lawyer when I had a car accident and did not know where to start. Roxell and her team made the process extremely easy and helped me get my knee therapy. Not only that, they completely handled the communications with the insurance and made the experience hassle free, Martha especially was extremely helpful. She was very honest and showed the transparency of the process from beginning to end - my favorite part! Highly recommend to get in touch with this firm.
