Testimonials
“I first hired Mark Richards in 1993 when I was facing criminal charges in Racine County. Attorney Richards was able to get all charges against me dismissed at that time. In 2017, I was involved in an altercation with a family member that was not my fault and was charged criminally for battery and disorderly conduct. Attorney Richards filed motions, as well as a speedy trial demand on my behalf, and the case was completely dismissed on the prosecutor’s motion 3 days before trial. Attorney Richards was very responsive to my concerns about the case and aggressive in his representation. I would recommend Mark Richards to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney.”

“My first lawyer told me to take a deal for 2 years of prison. I hired Mark and he worked to amend my 5th OWI to a 4th. I received only 6 months in the county jail with Huber. He saved my business–if I had went to prison I would have lost everything.”
-State v. B.F. (11 CF 497)
Mark Richards came highly recommended by a close friend and hiring him was the best decision I’ve ever made. Mark’s 30-plus years of experience within Racine and Kenosha County has earned him a well-respected reputation with the court systems and his peers. Mark not only showed compassion for my situation but was stern and direct with his instructions to get me through this process with the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Mark Richards. My only complaint is that he does not handle divorce law.

“I originally hired an attorney that just was not working out at all. Someone I came across, who I didn’t even know, overheard I was charged with a crime I did not commit. The first words out of his mouth were, “You need to call Attorney Mark Richards, please call him, he really can help.” I called Mark that day and he made me feel comfortable just talking with him over the phone. I went to his office the next day and I knew within the first 10 minutes that I would be hiring Richards I hired him in 2017. Richards and his staff were always there for me and that truly meant a lot to me. They always explained everything and kept me updated on everything that was happening. February 2020, Attorney Mark Richards got my case acquitted. This is the day on which the trial was scheduled to start and without Richards and his great staff, the result could have ended up completely different and not good. Couldn’t be more grateful for my experience with having him as my Attorney, he’s an all-around great man. So if you are looking for an Attorney that will get the job done, make sure to call Attorney Mark Richards.”
