Mr. Richardson is licensed to practice law in the states of Maryland since 1987, New York since 1998 and the District of Columbia since 1993. He was a senior attorney with the Law Offices of Peter G. Angelos, P.C. where, for 35 years, he specialized in various forms of mass tort litigation.
One of his most successful trial verdicts occurred in 2011. As co-lead counsel in a mass tort case against ExxonMobil Corporation, he represented 164 households and businesses in Jacksonville, Maryland, where potable wells were contaminated by a 26,000-gallon gasoline release from an ExxonMobil service station in 2006. The six-month trial in the Baltimore County Circuit Court resulted in a jury verdict of $1.542 billion in compensatory and punitive damages, one of the largest civil verdicts in Maryland history.
