He is a proven leader and bridgebuilder, who continues to broker difficult conversations with diverse people for the benefit of the community.
"The addition of Joe Richardson and introduction of the Racial and Economic Justice Practice Group allows MWA to focus on and further commit to addressing racial and economic injustice systematically faced by our clients," commented Senior Partner Richard D. McCune. "Joe is a great lawyer and advocate, and his relationship and skills make him an invaluable addition to our firm."
Richardson is a frequent public speaker on legal and ethical responsibility, leadership, civil rights, and today's fronts in the search for justice. He is also a frequent media contributor, appearing on local and national television and writing on constitutional and justice issues.
His career has been full of giving back and serving his community. In 2019, Richardson was appointed a member of the Redlands Planning Commission.
