Richard was great to work with and provided invaluable support throughout my case. From our initial communication, he offered a great deal of helpful information—even before I officially retained him as my attorney. This ultimately became the deciding factor for me, as he had no obligation to assist at that stage yet did so anyway. He was consistently responsive, calm, and attentive to the specific details of my case.
Seemed like he really cared before we hired him. As soon as he got paid, all the empathy disappeared. Just a job to him. He gets paid no matter what. Do not hire.

I don’t know you Ms. Marks. You are not a client. Someone has clearly put you up to this.
I would not recommend this attorney to anyone. When I first needed representation I looked around and saw Richard on google with a good 4/5 star review. I read his 5/5 and his 1/5 and thought that the 1/5 stars reviews were just upset at him because the case was lost, but in fact that’s not the reason why. He only seemed to care in the beginning when I first called about my case, showing interest and telling me that he can be the one to help me out. So I decided to give the benefit of the doubt, and hired him. As soon as I sent the money over, everything immediately changed. When I had questions about the case and texted him, he would leave me on delivered for days often leading me to have to double text him for a response. In those responses he did not seem to care and would make it seem like a “search it up/ask someone else” response. He never truly cared about representation which is very disappointing to me, he only cares about the money he can earn. Also he would show up late to my hearings often 10-30 minutes late, showing me that he really doesn’t care about what he’s doing in general. Maybe the 5/5 stars reviews are when he still cared about representation and had that hunger in him to be the best attorney, but in my opinion if you are reading this. Do not hire him, it is much better to go to someone else. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and he still failed. While in court when he was negotiating with the DA it seemed like he didn’t care to really push for a better plea deal. He just told me straight forward “thats the best I can do” and he may not be lying but it would be nice to see you try a little harder through that door when negotiating. You failed at representing me Richard especially when I had hope in you.
Owner response
It's difficult to respond to your complaints when you do not use your real name or provide specifics about your case. You are entitled to your opinion and I accept your criticism even when I disagree with it. You clearly are unhappy with a plea arrangement. As I explained to you, as I do with all of my clients, plea bargaining is only one option. Jury trial is another. It was your choice. It is my practice to go into great detail with every client on the benefits and risks of going to trial. If I advised you to settle with a plea bargain rather than go to trial, it's because trial would have resulted in a more severe outcome. I stand by my standards of practice and regret that you are dissatisfied.
It’s funny how you say the acquisitions Are 100% shameful and aren’t true. Especially when I called to find out how you were placed on my son‘s case and they told me you were a hired lawyer, which meant someone from within hired you it wasn’t me. They told me to my face that I hired you, knowing that I didn’t which made it plainly obvious that someone from within Hired you to not properly represent my son so everything that I said is true. I had plenty of Of paperwork from schools and mentors that I asked you to share on behalf of my son you refused, and you Refused to speak up on my son’s behalf because you were hired to not do the job properly so that he wouldn’t Have Proper representation. So that he wouldn’t have proper backing. So don’t sit and say that my accusations aren’t true and that they are false because they’re 100% TRUE I know YOU Were hired to not properly represent my child from someone within. I was told you were a hired attorney and I hired I said no, I did not hire him. They said yes you did. I said no, I did not and they said well. Someone hired him to represent your son. They asked me if another family member hired you I told them no because no one did. You came to him freely from within and once again they told me well someone Hired him. That’s not false. That’s 100% true.
Owner response
I have never spoken to you, have no idea who you are or who your son is. You are confused and have mistaken me for someone else. Your comments do not make a lot of sense, but I get the sense of frustration you are expressing, and I hope you get the answers you're looking for. Good luck.
After my first conversation with Richard he made me feel confident that I was in good hands. He took the time to listen to my side of the story, and he showcased extensive knowledge in his fields of practice and how the court system works in Modesto. It was evident that he had the experience to help me fight and prove my innocence. He did an amazing job representing me, and got my case dismissed! I highly recommend his services, very professional and honest. Thank you Richard.
Very professional, communicates well, and very reasonable rates. Mr. Meyer has been my lawyer twice now and if I ever need legal representation again I will definitely be going to him. Thank you Mr. Meyer!!!!
Owner response
Thank you Anna. We got a great result in your case!
When my boyfriend was charged with DUI and another offense, we contacted the law offices of Richard A. Meyer. The process was much easier than trying to navigate through it on our own. My boyfriend was able to not miss any work and was very happy with the results in the end. I highly recommend this law offices, especially for anyone unfamiliar with the intricacies of the law system when it comes to DUI.
Owner response
Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing my law office.
Rick is a more than competent attorney. If it was not for Rick, I would’ve never discovered that I was eligible for a VET court which I had no idea existed. That Saved me the suspension of all fines totaling around $7000 and waived after my 18 month probation. Also, I would have missed my first day in court. When I discovered I missed my court date. I assumed there was a warrant for my arrest but Rick showed at my hearing which was fantastic because I was negligent by not reporting my change of contact information.I forgot but he did not. and this created extreme comfort knowing that my lawyer Rick is on top of it. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows his way around the courthouse that is for sure! He is very easy to get a hold of and always respond in a timely manner. This is not something you see very often these days.
Thank you, Rick!
Sincerely,
Cory C
Richard did my case and rocked it! He was very professional and knowledgeable about the law and knew my case. I highly recommend using him as your attorney.
