Testimonials

2010: My firm retained the services of Richard Lichten for a police negligence case dealing with the standard of care of searching an intoxicated inmate. Mr. Lichten was very professional, thoughtful, well prepared and extremely knowledgeable; he did particularly well while being cross-examined in deposition. Mr. Lichten’s testimony resolved the case positively.

Ashwin Ladva, Esq., San Francisco, CA

2010: My firm was recently involved in an unprovoked peace officer excessive use of force litigation wherein our client suffered permanent nerve damage. Our burden was to show the force used was excessive and beyond the ‘reasonable peace officer’ standard. We were fortunate to find Richard Lichten of Police and Jail Procedures. Richard was professional, informed, and very, no, make that extremely thorough, in his investigation. My firm is constantly bombarded with expert’s resumes, but if any come in for police use of force expert they go right in the trash. There is ONLY one such expert this firm will ever use in the future. I cannot recommend Richard enough. Please feel free to contact me if you have any qualms about his qualifications.
