BUFFALO, NY – December 4, 2025 – Richmond Vona, LLC is proud to share that we have been named the 2025 SELECT Firm of the Year by Crisp, a leading law firm growth company. This award highlights our dedication to excellence in all areas of our work, not just in the courtroom. Announced at the Crisp Game Changers Summit, this honor recognizes Richmond Vona for our vision, client service, community involvement, and strong culture.
This award sets Richmond Vona apart from other top SELECT program firms across the country for our outstanding performance and leadership. Winners are chosen based on high standards in four key areas: leadership, client experience, community impact, and firm culture.
Co-Founder and CEO John Richmond emphasized that this recognition is a testament to the firm’s successful strategic pivot:
“For the first time ever, we are fully equipped to march into next year and grow with intention. We finally have everything in place to really be intentional as we go into a year, not just grow based on hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. We’re going to be smarter about it. We’ve seen nothing yet. 2025 is just a launching pad for where we’re going.”
