Richard Judge brings a rare blend of business insight, courtroom savvy, and relentless advocacy to every case he handles. His legal practice is guided by a clear principle: protect clients, resolve problems early, and—when necessary—litigate aggressively to achieve justice.

Originally from Royal Oak, Michigan, Richard moved to Texas in 1976 and has called The Woodlands home since 2004. After earning a bachelor's degree in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin, Richard began his professional career in sales—a role he credits as providing as much preparation for law as law school itself. Between his finance background, sales expertise, and extensive litigation experience, Richard believes he brings the equivalent of an MBA to the negotiating table. This strong business foundation remains a key to his success as an attorney.

Richard has over 25 years of legal experience, including complex commercial and business litigation matters, contract disputes, employment law, construction defect cases, real estate matters, professional liability, trade secrets, insurance coverage, and environmental claims. He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts throughout Texas and beyond, securing successful outcomes through negotiation, mediation, and trial.

Richard loves business law for its diversity and depth, constantly learning about different industries. His watchword is versatility, and he prides himself on his ability to adapt quickly to changing situations and circumstances.

He takes pride in quickly identifying issues, providing practical, strategic advice, and guiding clients toward resolutions that save time, money, and stress. He understands that litigation can disrupt lives and businesses, so he always seeks efficient resolutions first. Yet when litigation is unavoidable, he is fully prepared to fight tenaciously in court.

Deeply committed to his community, Richard has served as Vice President and Director of The Woodlands Bar Association and is also actively involved with the Montgomery County Bar Association and the Texas Bar Foundation. In his downtime, you'll find Richard on the golf course, watching his sons play baseball, or volunteering in and for the community.
