Rich Sierra is truly a rare gem of a lawyer and person. If you want to get an idea of who he truly is, watch the promo videos on his firm’s

website. It’s easy to dismiss such videos as marketing stories. But after my life-changing experience working with Rich to settle a very difficult business dispute for over 6 months in 2020, I can say hand on heart that the Rich you see in those videos is the real guy. He charges a small fee for a consultation call, however the call is actually valuable advice and exploring strategy to solve your case. Going forward, he confirms with you all planned billing so there are no surprises. Lastly, his pricing is surprisingly affordable, which he can do because he handles a high volume of cases with success. Rich has completed several hundred business dispute mediations and resolutions, and during my mediation, it showed. I’m trying not to ramble here, however, I can’t say enough great things about Rich Sierra. Rich cares, is a great listener, and is extremely competent as a business mediator and litigator. One of a kind person. I highly recommend Richard Sierra and his firm, Florida Small Business Legal Center, for anyone needing resolution of a business dispute/legal matter. Rich, thank you so much!

I must have called 100 attornies before hiring Richard. He was the only one that asked numerous relevant questions before I hired him. Unfortunately,
…Read More
in South FL, most attornies brag how they are better than ice cream without asking relevant questions only to find you bought spoiled milk. Richard was very methodical & meticulous and I knew exactly what he was doing each step of the way. Using a forensic accountant Richard was able to litigate and win my case without going to court. Richard will not cheat or overcharge you. A hard lesson I learned from my first hired attorney. I can highly recommend Richard.

of the attorney’s I consulted would get sidetracked on irrelevant matters and not fully answer my questions. Richard was spot on. He always understood what I was asking and what was needed. He provided excellent legal advice, solutions and attorney letters as needed. He was very efficient to get things done and I was very happy with the outcome for my business dispute. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

business. The amount we were being sued for was approximately $55,000.00. Mr. Sierra negotiated on our behalf & we settled with the bank to whom the money was owed, for $10,000.00 to be paid over the next 17 months. We were very happy & relieved over the outcome as we thought we would have been forced to close our business. Mr. Sierra did a great job and we would defiantly use him again and recommend him to anyone needing his services.

I had a Lawsuit filed against me from a major car rental company and I contacted several attorneys in the state of Florida and all kept telling
…Read More
me the same thing and that was to settle. I contacted Rich and he gave me so much information without me even hiring him. He told me he was going to fight the case and not settle. The price was very reasonable and he made me feel as if I were speaking to a friend and not someone who was trying to make money off me. The outcome was more than what I expected. I was skeptical about Rich just because he was the only one who wasn’t willing to settle but he delivered what he promised.

I am very glad that I found Mr.Sierra due to the positive/win of my case, however it’s much more than just that he is very professional and
…Read More
has extensive knowledge of business law and litigation as well as mediation and I’m sure he has knowledge of other areas but my case involved these areas specifically.From start to finish he spoke to me as an equal and not in lawyer talk you know what I mean if you have ever needed a lawyer how they typically talk to clients well that was not Mr.Sierra he made me fell very comfortable throughout the entire process and explained everything so I would be able to understand.Not only were other lawyers I spoke with prior to hiring Mr.Sierra $200-$300 dollars an hour more expensive yes that’s right $200-$300 more per hr! I could just tell they didn’t care about the small business guy like myself, well he did and had total confidence in winning my case which of course made me fell better. As the saying goes at the end of the day if your looking or should I say need a reputable lawyer that won’t Bs you and know’s how to work with small business on a budget,I guarantee if you just call him and speak to him if he feels he can help you he will tell you he can if he can’t he won’t give you any bs and take your money,straight forward guy/Lawyer that knows his stuff God Bless him and his Ethics as a lawyer is all I can say.
