Attorney Richards McCrae III
“My goal is to provide competent and compassionate representation to individuals and families who have experienced tragedy or have suffered life-changing injuries.”
A York County native who joined Morton & Gettys in 2009, Richards is an experienced trial lawyer whose practice includes personal injury cases and other civil lawsuits.
He has represented clients in a wide range of personal injury matters, including car, truck and boating accidents, work-related injuries, medical malpractice, and wrongful-death cases. These matters typically involve catastrophic injuries, permanent disability, or death. Such cases are often more complicated than they might first appear, due to the intricacies of the civil litigation and insurance-claims processes. Richards’ experience enables him to handle these cases effectively and efficiently, with a strong emphasis on obtaining the best possible result for clients in a timely manner.
He is passionate about helping people who feel that they are all alone in their troubles.
Richards joined the firm after four years with a firm in Columbia, working almost exclusively on car and trucking accidents as well as other personal injury cases. Before that, he worked as a law clerk for Judge John C. Hayes in the 16th Judicial Circuit.
Richards serves the community through a variety of local and state organizations, including the South Carolina Association for Justice, where he has served on the board of governors since 2012 and is currently President, and the Good Folks of York County, as a board member for four years.
Richards and his wife, Jennifer, live in Rock Hill with their three children.
