R
ichard Watson,
a native of the small North Carolina town of Red Springs, might wave at you as you pass him driving around Durham. That’s what people do in small towns. Richard’s approach to his clients is likewise open, hospitable, and attentive, which are traits of great value for an attorney representing clients seriously injured as a result of negligence. Since graduating from UNC in 1968 and UNC Law in 1974, Richard has practiced law in Durham, successfully representing clients in personal injury, wrongful death, and environmental litigation. From 1969 to 1970, he served as an officer with the 199th light infantry
in Vietnam – one of his proudest and most formative experiences – receiving two bronze stars, a commendation for valor in combat, and an Air Medal. He brings to his practice a fine education, underpinned by focus, grit, and determination. Richard’s notable credentials include having a “5.0 AV-Preeminent” rating with Martindale-Hubbell – its highest status for legal and ethical standards; being named a NC Super Lawyer; and being included as a member of Best Lawyers in America. Richard Watson’s legal credentials, depth of experience, ethical standards, and personal traits make him an attorney to be reckoned with and one you want on your side of the courtroom.
