Testimonials

On 1/16/2026 Amanda Buchanan had this to say:
Attorney Claahsen took my urgent case as a walk-in when my phone wasn't working. Despite his busy schedule, with hin 10 minutes of walking in he was addressing my case and he completed it with great success in a single day. He knew exactly what he was doing, treated my case with great care, and was extremely responsive. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I would highly recommend Richard as an attorney. I had the pleasure to use him on two separate occasions. I always felt heard, he always showed true concern and replied back quickly. The outcome on both occasions came out positively and favorably.
