A Career in the Service of North Carolina
Our founding attorney would have begun her legal career in private practice in 1991, but duty to her home and her country called her to serve in the first Gulf War. Voluntarily putting her life and career on hold, Kathy Williams Richardson chose instead to serve in a time of war.
It is this kind of honor and commitment to service that guides our legal office to this day.
At the Richardson Law Firm, PLLC in Durham, North Carolina, we are driven by an unwavering commitment to client service. Since 1996, our office has been driven to provide outstanding representation to people in criminal defense, traffic law, family law and civil court.
On Your Side In and Out of the Courtroom
As an experienced former public defender, our founding attorney began her career in the criminal law area. She has advocated for clients in front of a judge and gone on to distinguish herself in private practice in the areas of family law and civil litigation as well.
While we still provide highly respected representation to clients facing criminal misdemeanors and felonies including those forced to make difficult decisions following a license revocation, we also work with families in crisis due to divorce and people in conflict with a landlord or tenant.
Rely on our lawyer when you need advocacy, guidance and counsel for matters involving:
- Criminal defense
- Traffic law
- Family law
- Civil litigation
We take on the cases that affect people in and around the Durham area every day, and we provide attentive, intelligent and unwavering service to those people. Our office is conveniently located across the street from the Durham Country Courthouse, and our doors are open to serve you.
