– Nationally recognized and Leading Expert Witness who has testified for and against several of Bland Richter’s clients.


I’ve never been a lawyer who played well and worked well with others and as a result always preferred to work alone. However, it was a great pleasure to work with you on these cases and watch you strategize. What an unbelievable work ethic. Thank you for helping me in these very difficult cases. I would not have been able to obtain such favorable results on my own. … Thank you for your excellent work! This is an incredible testament to your well-deserved reputation.

– Theodore Von Keller, attorney (Columbia, South Carolina) and Co-Counsel with Bland Richter on several cases.


I am being represented by superior attorneys. It is the difference between night and day, the professionalism practiced by your office when compared to the way my former attorneys and their office represented me. … There will always be a place in my and my wife’s hearts for you. From the beginning, I knew I had a man of infallible scruples whose word was his scripture. The folks who hire your firm to be their lawyers have certainly picked the best.

– Tom Anderson, former client that Bland Richter represented in Legal Malpractice case.


South Carolina is wide open for a firm made up of good attorneys to go in the business. South Carolinians are good people, mostly honest and they deserve the type of representation I got from you people. I never asked you a question that was not answered, never called and missed you that you didn’t get back to me, and you kept me up to date by email on every issue which I needed to know about.

– Former client that Bland Richter represented in a Legal Malpractice case.


Eric Bland is one of the most tenacious attorneys I have ever worked with. His knowledge of Real Estate and Corporate Law is extensive. He is the most professional, knowledgeable, and one of the most responsive attorneys I have ever had the privilege of working with.

– Mike McLendon, President of HHHunt Homes Charleston, LLC


It is clear that you both are talented, serious lawyers and I respect and admire that.

– Nationally recognized trial lawyer who sat as an arbitrator on a legal malpractice case brought by Bland Richter on behalf of their client.


You two are a real credit to the legal profession – intelligent, well prepared and zealous advocates. I am genuinely proud of you and appreciate the privilege I had with both of you as my lawyers. Thanks to the Philadelphia fighter and the Southern Gentleman.

– Denis Ventriglia, former client that Bland Richter represented in a Legal Malpractice case.


You redeem our profession’s honor by loyally standing up for people who have been abandoned, double-crossed, or let down by their lawyers and who have become distrustful of us. You’ve rendered a huge service…to our profession. This was a case that I felt especially strongly about helping the helpless client who was so disgustingly victimized. I’m glad you guys were able to do such a terrific job for the client.

– A Leading and Recognized Expert Witness.


Congratulations on a job well done. You did more for your clients in a month and a half than their previous attorneys did in a year and a half. You guys are certainly on my list of attorneys to refer “conflict” work to now that I have seen, on multiple occasions, how well you represent your clients.

– Low Country SC Lawyer who represented an adverse party in a dispute among business partners.


Your detailed and aggressive presentation yesterday forced the settlement. I seriously doubt it would have happened otherwise. I never wanted to settle this case. You absolutely maximized the value of a very challenging case and should be proud.

– Low Country SC Lawyer who represented an adverse party in a case brought by Bland Richter.


I have tremendous respect for what Ronnie and you do. It is obviously not easy being a lawyer and suing other lawyers for legal malpractice. You guys stood by me and did a tremendous job. … I have great appreciation for what you both do…it is a courageous path you have both chosen to fight for folks like me against other attorney’s wrong-doing. It is is a noble and risky business. I want you to know that I do understand and realize what you do is not popular and takes a heavy toll. It makes it that much more remarkable that you took my case and fought for me every step of the way. The people we sued will always remember this lawsuit and it is my hope that they will act more responsibly for their clients.

I could not have achieved these goals without your help. You both communicated with me thoroughly and managed my expectations during the entire process. You have allowed me to be able to stand tall and maintain my honor. You guys will be my attorneys forever."

– Sandra Ellen Hardee, M.D. former client that Bland Richter represented in a legal malpractice case.


You and Ronnie did an outstanding and unbelievable job on this case. You took their best shot. I really don’t know any other attorneys who could have prosecuted this case to a successful end. Contrats. You’ve righted a wrong.

– A Leading and Recognized Expert Witness.


You are a battle hardened warrior and engage in battle with ferocity.

– Franklin S. Henson, attorney and former client.


I should be thanking you two for the way you represented such a good friend of mine. You two are such great lawyers.

– A Leading and Recognized Trust and Estates Expert Witness.


You guys are just excellent. I really appreciate the way you stepped up and demanded and got respect. Great lawyers. Superb work and another stellar result!

– Nationally recognized and Leading Expert Witness who has testified for and against several of Bland Richter’s clients.


Every day you give more to me than I can ever repay. Thank you for being my lawyers. You two are what the law aspires for each lawyer to be.

– Daniel K. Hughes, President, Infinity Seal, LLC, client.


When I met with you folks, I immediately had the feeling of trust. This is unusual for me… One of the greatest complaints I have against attorneys is their lack of response to a telephone inquiry. This was never the case with you folks. My questions were answered promptly and concisely with no hidden meanings. Another problem with most firms is taking their good old time seeing that the client received documents involving the case. I never had that problem with your firm. You have worked your time management to a science based on my association with you.

– Former Insurance Adjuster Client that Bland Richter represented in a Legal Malpractice case.


Thank you doesn’t seem to say enough for everything that you did for me and my whole family. But, THANK YOU. With all of your concern and your professional process of handling everything that was involved in my case, I am in a good place in my life today.

– Annette Saleeby-Hope, former client.


I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance with my corporate legal troubles and to tell you once again that without your help I would not be in the position I am today. Thankfully, with your help, I have made a full comeback. Your expedience, attention to detail, and skill as a lawyer have far surpassed my expectations. You made a potentially and most unbearable situation less of a hardship. Thank you for helping me to regain control of my company.

– Patricia Baloga Stephens, President Medi-Fare Drug & Home Health Center, Inc., Client.


I honestly think you did a fantastic job as presenters at the Legal Ethics of Attracting and Selecting Clients CLE; you made it very interesting!

– Samuel D. Harms, Greenville attorney who attended the referenced CLE in December 2011. Eric and Ronnie were presenters.


After dealing with the lawyers I tried to work with before on my case, you two are a refreshing change.

– Former client in a legal malpractice case.


You guys are awesome to work with and seriously good at what you do. Thank you for the hard work and for keeping me informed and comfortable throughout the process. We are pleased with the outcome.

– Luis Rodriguez, president of Santee-Lynches, CDC, that Bland Richter represented in a Legal Malpractice case.


Well done! Thanks for the great work. Wish we would have had you both from the beginning. It is my pleasure to work with two guys that have such a keen interest in helping their clients and to do it in such a professional way.

– Pat Welch, CPA, client – Bland Richter took over client’s case two months before trial from previous lawyers who were terminated.


When I was in the 4th grade, I decided to become a lawyer because I realized that lawyers help people who need someone to stand up for them, someone they can count on. It was the hero worship of a boy who had outgrown cowboys. The reality, of course, is often far different than what I imagined, and sometimes cynicism threatens to destroy my faith in our profession. And then I remember what I see all around me, lawyers who care, who fight hard, who won't quit on a client or take the easy way out. And I'm proud to be a lawyer and to count wonderful lawyers as my friends! You two represent the best qualities of the lawyers I dreamed about and always wanted to be. You guys are the best of the best. Thank you.

– A Leading and Recognized Expert Witness.


You are like no other attorney. We are truly grateful to you for everything you do for us and K.C. Transport. You are one in a million!

– Eric & Charlotte Knowles, Owners of KC Transport Inc., clients.


Guys…I cannot imagine a more diplomatic or professional way of articulating the particulars of this matter other than to say: the way in which you guys conduct yourselves in navigating these matters makes me very proud to have the two of you as my counsel.

– W. Phil Murdock, Jr. – Attorney and former client.


Just want to say thank you for all of your help in resolving all of our cases and legal matters. It’s nice working with someone who gets the job done.

– Practice Manager of a Bland Richter Medical Practice Group client.


You and Ronnie did a great job at the last mediation and got more money than I ever dreamed that the case was worth.

– Well Regarded Midlands, SC Lawyer who represented an adverse party in a legal malpractice case brought by Bland Richter.


I just returned from a vacation and saw The State newspaper which set out your landmark victory in what I now call the “nut cracking case”. Good job. Your reputation for honesty and big verdicts continues to grow.

– Well Regarded Midlands, South Carolina Lawyer.


Thank you for your efforts. I’ve been impressed with the way that Ronnie and you gave me both your legal and personal assessments regarding my case.

– Marc Goldenberg, DDS, former client.


You and Ronnie make a great team and complement each other well.

– Sims Rentz, MD, former client.
