Richard J. Washington, Esq.

Attorney at Law

After receiving a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, I knew that a legal career would be the right path for me. I went on to pursue my J.D. from St. John's University School of Law because I was drawn to the opportunity of helping people better understand their rights and being able to provide the best possible defense. Over time, I was exposed to the complicated nature of labor & employment law and felt a calling to help those vulnerable in that area as well. As a dedicated attorney, my practice has focused on guiding individuals and families through their legal matters to put them in a better position for their future.
