Richard Poland helped me through one of the most difficult and stressful times in my life. It was a long and drawn out alleged DUI case. Richard was very genuine, compassionate, and had realistic expectations. It was very reassuring to know that he made every effort to resolve my case in my favor. I am extremely grateful that given my specific circumstances, he was able to win my case and protect my record from receiving a DUI. As a knowledgeable attorney, he keeps current with the law and legal issues, and I am convinced that anyone who makes the sound decision to choose Richard Poland as their representative will have no regrets!

thirty years ago Richard Poland handled my cases with outstanding results. I had many problems and in the middle of a real life crisis. Not only did Richard handle everything with outstanding results, he took care of one case out of the county,that I was not aware of, and got it dismissed. Now thirty years later I needed help and he was just as aggressive now as he was then. I would never consider another attorney. His experience is pricless

My daughter, unfortunately, shortly after she turned 21, had a couple of drinks and ran a red light. There was an accident and a man died. My daughter was devistated, not only because she was facing serious charges, but also because she had killed someone. Mr. Poland treated us kindly and compassionately. He explained that in Orange County, most people go to prison, but he had hopes that because of my daughter's character, personality and previous good works, she could avoid prison.
He tried over and over again to get a DA or a judge to give her probation. As much as he tried, no one would go along with him. He kept trying. Each step of the way, he met with us, in court or in his office and explained that we weren't done yet. He would find a way. It took a year, but he did. My daughter got probation. She went to county jail and will be there 6 months. After she was convicted and given the time, the OC Register on line had 10 comments saying my daughter should go to prison for life and the judge whould be fired. Mr. Poland did a great job and kept trying when other lawyers would have given up. My daughter could get a misdemeanor out of this and liver her life.

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've worked with various attorneys over my lifetime and I have to say that Rich Poland by far has been the best. He is knowledgeable in his area of expertise, hard working and gave my case his full attention. Rich really cares about his clients. He never made a promise he couldn't keep and I always knew what to expect. He knows the law, and his years of practice speak for themselves. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. I strongly recommned Rich to those in need and would recommend him to any friend or family member.
