“I enjoy the intellectual challenge of law as well as the satisfaction I receive from achieving positive outcomes for clients”

As a litigator, Richard  is intently focused on his clients, keeping them informed about the litigation process and walking along with them each step of the way.  While willing and able to carry a matter through trial, he also recognizes that a client’s interests are often best served by reaching a favorable resolution of disputes short of trial.

During law school, Richard was inducted into the Order of the Coif and served as Research Editor for the Duke Law Journal. While at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and received Highest Honors in Economics.

Prior to joining Tuggle Duggins, Richard clerked for the Honorable William L. Osteen, Jr., of the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.
