My daughter ran a red light and had an accident where someone was killed. She had too much to drink. She had just turned 21 and made the sort of mistake that ruins lives. The case was in Orange County and everyone said she had to go to prison. She was a college student athlete and had lived a very good life until she made a very stupid mistake. Mr. Poland told us the facts and didn't sugar coat them. He told us he would keep plugging until he found someone to give her probation. He said it would be difficult but he thought it was not impossible. We had at least 10 court appearances and at every opportunity he tried for probation. The DA was adamant about prison because it's their policy to give prison when a death occurs in a accident where alcohol is involved. Each judge that Mr. Poland spoke too was unwilling to go against the DA. He was able to get someone to see that my daughter didn't belong in prison. She got county jail time. We wanted no jail at all, but there WAS a death.

When we first found out my loved one, who is very young and had no criminal record, was going to need a lawyer none of us knew what was going to happen. When the family found Richard Poland everyone was still in shock, unsure of what came next. Rich explained everything every step of the way in language we could all understand. There was no grandstanding or trying to use legal terms none of us knew. He was clear and direct, letting us know what to expect and why he was doing certain things. He never made empty promises and was very clear about what my nephew was facing. When we saw him in action in the court he was assured without being cocky and was obviously at ease and confident. Anytime the court threw a curveball at us he was able to explain the situation and immediately had a plan of action. Rich is a very observant man and a quick thinker, you can tell that he takes in what is happening in front of him and assesses the situation. Watching him question witnesses in court was a re

Richard Poland is a knowledgeable and competent attorney. Just check his bar record ( I did!) 35 years without a complaint. Additionally, his many years of practice have rendered him not only knowledgeable of the law itself but of local courts, including the DA’s and judges. He has a real feel for reading a situation and advising his clients appropriately for their unique circumstances. In our experience he is by far the most attentive trial lawyer we’ve encountered and he does truly have a heart. Rich has always been there throughout our family’s a lengthy court trials. He communicates clearly, is readily available and has a great bilingual support staff. I wish we’d never been in a situation where we had to get to know him, but since we did, I am grateful for all he’s done for our family. We highly recommend him should you find yourself in need of quality legal representation.

I would recommend Mr.Poland to my friends and family. Rich Poland was upfront and honest with me and my spouse from day one. No B.S. from Rich Poland ! His greatest asset (in my opinion) was his 35+ years of being a criminal-lawyer, mostly in my hometown of Long Beach, Ca. Mr. Poland and his staff communicated well, and they always had answers for our many, many questions. My spouse and I are very satisfied with the way Mr. Poland handled our case, and how he interacted with us. We also found his fees to be reasonable.

This attorney has no fight in him. All Poland wants to do is take your money and get the trial over with. Poland can't defend a fly. When it comes to defending you he takes your money and does a horrible job. My fiance was sentenced to 10 years. It was to late to hire another attorney. We spent our life savings. We should of hired a public defender in training he would of done a better job. This attorney needs to go back to law school and learn how to defend his clients. He sent me a bill 3 days later stating I owe him 8,000. I already paid him for his services. Beware hire someone else. Bad attorney!
