About Richmond Vona
A TRUSTED BUFFALO PERSONAL INJURY LAW FIRM

At Richmond Vona, LLC, our personal injury attorneys have the skills, experience, and tenacity to go up against large corporations and insurance companies in order to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve. If you or your loved one was seriously injured due to the reckless or careless actions of another, you need professional legal guidance. We can help you understand your various legal options and work to protect your right to a fair recovery. Our firm handles all types of personal injury, wrongful death, and mesothelioma/asbestos cases.








OUR FIRM VALUES
Open, Honest Communication
Our Buffalo personal injury attorneys never make false promises. From your initial consultation throughout the duration of the legal process, we will let you know if you have a strong case, and we will always keep you informed on its status. Our attorneys treat every client like a valued member of the Richmond Vona, LLC family—not like another case number.
Fully Personalized Legal Guidance
One-size-fits-all legal representation is not effective advocacy. You deserve better. Our Buffalo personal injury attorneys will put in the time and attention needed to listen to your story, investigate the details of your case, understand your needs, and build the best possible legal strategy for you.
Results-Oriented Representation
Professional accolades, accomplishments, and experience matter. Still, for injured victims, nothing is more important than successful results. We will work tirelessly to help you and your family obtain justice, accountability, and maximum financial compensation.

EXPERIENCE YOU CAN RELY ON
Our founding partners, John E. Richmond and Keith R. Vona, fight for the legal rights and financial interests of injured victims and the families of those wrongfully killed throughout Western New York. With more than two decades of combined personal injury experience, John and Keith have helped their clients recover more than $200 million in settlements and trial verdicts. That track record of success, both inside and outside the courtroom, has helped us earn a reputation among our clients and our peers as a serious advocate for the injured. When you trust your case to our team, you can expect us to advocate aggressively for your best interests, whether in negotiations or at trial.

EXPECT OUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION
Richmond Vona isn’t a mill. When you hire us to handle your case, you will get high-quality personal injury representation. You do not have to deal with gimmicks, false promises, or non-responsive legal professionals—because nothing is more frustrating than hiring an attorney who does not answer your calls or keep you updated on the progress of your case.
We’re different. We take on fewer cases, which lets us put more of ourselves into everything we do. We take the time to understand your unique circumstances, and we work carefully and compassionately to put your needs first every step of the way.
