Attention to detail and customer service help define a successful business. Restaurateurs Kelleanne and Ryan Jones, who own thetop-rated eatery The Mill at 2T, understand the importance of such precision. They seek the same attributes in their counsel.

“Rich is unbelievably dedicated to his clients and a positive outcome,” Kelleanne and Ryan said. “He is always accessiblefor advice or encouragement.”
The Joneses rely on Rich for all legal work related to their ownership of The Mill at 2T.
“His confidence and personality definitely show through in his work,” the couple said. “He has a certain trust, presence and magnetism that capture you as a lifelong friend.”

For an award-winning executive chef whose restaurant has received a AAA Four-Diamond award for 13 consecutive years, Tyler Anderson’s most natural analogies are related to food.

“Rich is like a multi-course menu,” Anderson said. “He’s a very dynamic character.”
Tyler has trusted Rich with multiple business contracts related to the Brasserie Pip, the highly acclaimed restaurant at the Millwrights Restaurant.
“He understands the restaurant business really well, and he worked hard to understand it,” Tyler said. “That says a lot.”
Tyler appreciates the effort Rich puts into every legal matter, regardless of size, and the interest Rich takes in the impact of his work.
“He doesn’t see you as just a client,” Tyler noted. “He sees you as a person. He cares about what’s going on in your life.”

“Rich sees every little detail, and he’s a stickler for perfection,”Tarik said. “He’s got your back on every element and has thought of every permutation.”
Dr. Gita Safaian, a dentist and Tarik’s wife, also retained Rich to perform similar contractual and real estate work for her practice. Through their professional relationship, the family has gotten to know Rich on a personal level.
“He’s passionate about a lot of things in life, and there’s nothing you can’t talk to him about,” Tarik said. “I like that in a person. He’s not a dry lawyer who just knows the law.”

Hiren retained Rich to handle various business-related legal matters for fast-growing Soma Technology, which specializes in supplying and servicing new and refurbished medical equipment around the world.

“Rich’s approach and knowledge are amazing,” said Hiren. “He understands business, looks at matters from a business point of view and nails down all points from a legal standpoint.”
Rich’s legal work for Soma Technology led to his joining the company’s board of directors while serving as general counsel.
“He’s been a valuable addition,” Hiren noted. “He has educated us constantly and made our company more secure and more valuable as we grow.”
