About Richmond Vona

Richmond Vona works from Seneca Street and names 40 attorneys.

726 reviews at 4.91 across four listings. A free consultation and a 24 hour line, published. It publishes 15 case results with amounts of its own and they are its figures rather than ones we confirmed. It publishes nothing about the rate or the retainer.

What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it

LFL Certified 2026

Scored 68 out of 100 on measured evidence, above the 70 this tier requires, with every eligibility gate its state allows us to check cleared.

No public discipline

None of the 15 named attorneys carries a disciplinary status on the public register: no disbarment, suspension or disciplinary resignation. Those statuses persist, so the check reaches back years, but it would not show a censure or a suspension since lifted.

726 client reviews

Counted across 4 verified Google Business Profile listings, not collected by us and not solicited through us.

4.91 average over 726 reviews

A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.

15 results published

Across 9 case types on the firm's own site. We read the page and counted what is on it; the amounts are the firm's and we have not confirmed them.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Richmond Vona charge?

Richmond Vona publishes no fee terms on the pages we read, so none is recorded on this profile. An absence here is not a claim that the firm has no fee arrangement, only that it does not state one publicly. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.

Does Richmond Vona offer a free consultation?

Yes. Richmond Vona publishes a free initial consultation. The intake line is published as open around the clock.

Where does Richmond Vona have offices?

Richmond Vona publishes one office, in Buffalo. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.

Who are the attorneys at Richmond Vona?

Richmond Vona names 40 attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. 15 of 40 named attorneys are currently registered and none carries an adverse status. 25 could not be told apart from namesakes in the register and are counted neither way.

Are the case results Richmond Vona publishes verified?

No. Richmond Vona publishes 15 case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.

What has Law Firm Listings verified about Richmond Vona?

Richmond Vona scores 68 and sits at Verified. Passed: licensure, discipline, entity registration, website and footprint. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.

Richmond Vona, LLC has earned these 10 badges. They are free, they are not for sale, and each one links back to this page so anybody can read the evidence behind it. They are also live: the file is rebuilt every time we re-measure, so a badge on your site says what is true today rather than what was true the day you copied it.
