Alice Ann Byrne
I worked with Richard at the Attorney General's office where he was an outstanding employee. Richard was the "go to" guy when a project needed to be completed quickly and accurately. Of all the young lawyers, he clearly stood out as one of the best!! Since going into private practice, Richard has represented the State on several matters and done an outstanding job!
