Robert Richards, Esq.

Attorney Robert Richards is one in a million in the best way possible. Start with this: He won a case for us which everyone told us was impossible (because of low standards for a certain category of business in NM). He won it without going to court and with zero concessions on our part. WOW! His intelligence is through the roof, matched only by his care for his clients. He's everything you you ever dreamed an attorney would be, and many things you don't expect an attorney to be: He's funny, warm, generous, in-love-with-the-law, deeply respectful and caring for the people he works with. He's also persistent, aggressive when he needs to be, patient when the situation calls for it. He also told us once that he "lacked the greed gene"--a truly rare trait in attorneys (and following Robert Richard's lead, perhaps it will become more prolific in humans in general). If you have any legal matters involving real estate, rentals, or landlords, there is simply no one better than Attorney Robert Richards. He literally helped us with our life-savings and retirement, which might otherwise have been dissolved unfairly. Thank you, Robert Richards!

My fiancé and I recently had to evict a problematic Section 8 tenant for non-payment of rent. The property is located in a section of Albuquerque called the “War Zone”. We are located in Arizona and were unable to travel, so we needed a landlord/tenant attorney well versed in the New Mexico Uniform Owner Resident Relations Act. Scouring the internet for days, we were unable to find a single practicing landlord/tenant attorney that we felt comfortable with. We chose Attorney Robert Richards or Rob (as he asked us to call him) based on his favorable Google Reviews and the fact that nearly 40% of his caseload is landlord/tenant related. During our initial phone conversation, Rob patiently explained the eviction process, gave a timeline, a fee estimate and worked us into his caseload. He emailed us the agreement to sign and conveniently accepted payment via PayPal. He was always very pleasant and humorous. Rob responded promptly to questions, provided in-depth answers and never made us feel rushed. He helped us think through some very difficult scenarios. Although based in Santa Fe, Rob was able to file paperwork remotely and emailed us copies of everything. He appeared in court via zoom (even though he was recovering from Covid). His representation was so well that we didn’t have to say a word in court. We were granted an eviction and was awarded a monetary judgement. We highly recommend Attorney Rob Richards. He is knowledgeable, personable and was the main reason we won our eviction case.

Mr. Richards was very involved with our case. My wife and I had hired a different attorney which cared more about collecting money from us than investigating our case. Mr. Richards always kept us updated on our case and asked questions when the defendants attorney sent paperwork. With Mr. Richards experience, expertise and hard work we won our case. Hopefully we will never have need for an attorney but if that time comes we will call Mr. Richards to handle our case
