In January 2014, an Orange County Superior Court Judge concluded one of Mr. Griswold's Health & Safety Code receiverships after Mr. Griswold had successfully rehabilitated the single-family home back into compliance with all applicable building and safety codes. Richardson "Red" Griswold was originally nominated by the Orange County city, and appointed by the Superior Court judge under CA Health & Safety Code section 17980, et seq., in November 2012, to act as the court-appointed receiver over the single family home that had fallen into serious disrepair with multiple and severe health and safety, building, and other municipal code violations.

Please consult with an attorney if you are seeking formal legal advice related to a particular factual situation.

I just concluded a three-day jury trial a couple months ago. My client was the victim of sexual harassment in the workplace. After over a year of litigation, we took our case to trial. We won and my client was awarded monetary damages, as well as post-judgment awards constituting reimbursement of attorneys fees and costs incurred.
