About Richard

With over twenty seven years of legal experience working with businesses on the issues they face daily during their business cycles he acts in the capacity of an outside general counsel assisting business owners to make smarter decisions, build stronger relationships and make and save money. Rick stresses the importance of recognizing that correct legal answers alone do not necessarily translate into the correct best business decisions. He represent all types of businesses in every stage of their business cycles from start up through eventual sale.

As a corporate and transactional attorney, Rick assists entrepreneurs in initial business planning, startup, business formation, all types of corporate transactions, including business asset and stock sales and purchases.
As a trial advocate, Rick handles matters as both plaintiff and defense counsel relating to employment, discrimination, employee benefits, insurance coverage, construction, contracts, defamation, products liability, wage and hour claims, unfair competition claims, personal injury and commercial litigation.
Rick has practiced in state and federal courts all over the country. He is admitted to practice in the State of Illinois, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana.
