He is the proud recipient of the Etobicoke Guardian Readers' Choice Award for Best Lawyer in 2023, 2022 and 2021.

He has also delivered corporate law seminars at the Toronto Business Development Centre as part of the Ontario Self-Employment Benefit Program. Most recently, Richard has lectured on the topic of wills and estates to major financial institutions and community organizations in Etobicoke, Mississauga and Mimico.
While attending Osgoode Hall Law School, Richard helped conceive and launch the Small Claims Court Information Clinic, through which he helped members of the public navigate the ins and outs of small claims court. He performed a similar community role while attending Monash Law School in Melbourne Australia, providing volunteer legal services through a clinic whose clientele came from disadvantaged communities.
