Senior Counsel

Richard Gorman brings to Johnson & Associates, PLLC over thirty years of experience investigating casualties, litigating complex tort and contract cases, and counselling clients on how best to resolve perplexing problems, whether they be internal, external, domestic or international. Richard’s litigation experience casts a wide net. He has proven litigation experience in all facets of the admiralty and maritime field, and with cases involving products liability, contract and commercial disputes, collections, fire damage, real property disputes, personal injury defense, and personal injury prosecution.
