Richard P. Darke

While never precluding the possibility of a negotiated resolution, Rick approaches every case as if it were going to trial, thereby positioning his clients for success at every point in time, whether it be on summary judgment, at trial, or on appeal. The strategies he implements and develops are not only based on his immersive understanding of the relevant facts and law but also his knowledge of his clients and how they conduct business. Collaborative by nature, Rick forges close and enduring relationships with those he represents, which provides his clients with clarity and the confidence of knowing they have an ally and advocate in their corner who will stop at nothing to protect or advance their interests.

Rick matches his relentless work ethic and zealous representation with a deeply held belief in the importance of professionalism, honesty, and service. He has always maintained an active pro bono practice, with a particular focus on protecting the rights of incarcerated individuals.
