Richard Lawrence Thiry, Esq. (Retired)
For over 40 years, Mr. Richard L. Thiry, Esq. was known for his honesty, integrity and zealous pursuit of justice for his clients. In addition to his legal practice, Mr. Thiry has previously been a city attorney, city prosecutor and a judge. He was a brilliant attorney who fought hard for all of his clients. His former clients returned to him again and again, because they knew that Mr. Thiry would fight for them and make sure they were getting the justice they deserved.
At the height of his career, he brought in his daughter, Renee, to learn the craft he had perfected. In that time, he taught Renee how to look at a case from all angles and see every possibility. That kind of attention to detail still serves the firm today. After his retirement, Renee took over the practice as the managing attorney, where the principles of fairness, justice and the pursuit of what is right, still takes precedent in every case.
