In addition to maintaining a successful law practice, Richard is a National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) Certified Contract Advisor (Agent). In 2006, Richard established KLASS Sports, where Richard serves at the company's President. Richard finds that skills he has honed during more than two decades of trying cases and negotiating settlements on behalf of thousands of injury victims, are directly transferrable to his representation of professional athletes.

Richard is married and the father of three boys. Not unexpectedly, when not tending to professional obligations, Richard spends the overwhelming majority of his time enjoying his family, including his parents who relocated to metro-Atlanta to be closer to Richard, his wife and children.

When Richard is not coaching soccer, taking his family to sporting events, or otherwise involved with family activities, he enjoys cycling and can be found riding considerable distances around Atlanta, particularly on weekends. Richard finds that a long bike ride is good for the body, mind and spirit, and helps recharge his batteries for the rigors of demanding professional commitments.
