RAISING THE BAR

 

Selecting an attorney can sometimes be a challenge – there are many throughout Vermont, and they all can seem quite similar.  The Law Office of Richard J. Fox PLLC believes that less can be more, and works to prove it every day to its clients in the following fashion:  

 

  • More access: Because business does not always wait for “normal” business hours, Richard is available to you well beyond “normal” business hours via e-mail, telephone, Skype, and in person. 
  • Less confusion: You will not deal with multiple layers of staff and attorneys.  Your file will be directly overseen by Richard, start to finish.
  • More education and “preventative maintenance”: After meeting with Richard, you will understand your course of action, the importance of any documents you have signed, and how it all affects you both now and in the long term.  Richard not only addresses your immediate legal needs, he strives to identify potential issues to allow you to take proactive control of your legal matters.
  • Less unnecessary fees and expenses: By utilizing leading-edge technologies and real estate software, as well as streamlining overhead costs, Richard’s fees are based on the work actually performed and expenses actually incurred.  This makes legal services more efficient and more affordable for you.

“If someone asks me about real estate attorneys, Richard Fox is the man I recommend. Richard is as knowledgeable as anyone I know in his field, and probably more knowledgeable than most (maybe all!). He has an incredibly quick mind and puts the interest of his clients above all. If you have a conversation with Richard, in around two minutes you'll know I am right.”
