Shekter Legal: Helping law firms with confounding cases.
RICHARD HAS “SEEN IT ALL. DONE IT ALL.”
Richard cut his teeth as a litigator at a time when most of his cases ended up going to trial. Viewed as a formidable case strategist and a superlative trial lawyer, who believes in exhaustive preparation, Richard has created a dynamic role for himself as a Case ‘Doctor’.
“In the past few years, I have found myself being approached by law firms and individual lawyers with cases that they find confounding and perplexing. Whether it’s formulating a viable theory of the case, suggesting an area of investigation, recommending a case strategy, or assisting a lawyer in trial preparation and presentation, lawyers I’ve been retained by have welcomed my insights and assistance. Many never had the invaluable mentorship that I had the good fortune to have, or the extensive trial experience that I enjoyed. I’ve been able to provide that kind of input and direction to a number of law firms and lawyers, both junior and senior, upon request, in specific cases where the lawyers needed some help. That perspective, coupled with my interest in legal scholarship, has proven to provide significant ‘value-added’ in the cases that I have been retained to provide direction and advice on.”

“Richard, you never cease to amaze me. You find issues that others would easily pass over as not being central to the case or to the client’s liberty, or being just too tough or complex to address…and then you work them like no one else. It is a combination of art and science…and you are both an artist and a scientist. Well done and thank you.”
