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.

Labor & Employment is a complex, heavily-regulated area of law. From employers and managers to employees, there are many rights and responsibilities to be aware of in any given situation when a conflict or dispute arises. The Law Offices of Richard J. Washington is knowledgeable and experienced in a wide range of labor and employment issues — from internal investigations and employee discipline cases to wrongful termination, employee discrimination, and severance negotiations.
I do a lot within public sector law. My practice regularly manages trials to determine whether or not the public sector employer or employee in question engaged in a specific type of misconduct. For private employees, we can efficiently negotiate severance packages.
If you're involved in a situation concerning your rights as an employer, manager, or employee, I'd be happy to help you understand what you're up against and provide sound legal counsel to help you move forward. As a labor & employment attorney, I have the requisite knowledge to assist you in either keeping your job or outlining an easy transition out of the workplace.
