About Devon
Devon Richards built his legal foundation at the University of Miami. He earned a B.S. in Communication and Political Science in 2005 and continued at the University of Miami School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2008. Those years in Miami shaped his approach to legal work. He learned to weigh facts carefully and to explain complex matters clearly.
After law school, Richards established a steady path through several Florida firms. He joined Ackerman, Link & Sartory in 2010, where he began practicing as a lawyer. In 2013 he moved to Byrnes Keller Cromwell, taking on new assignments and responsibilities. In 2018 he became part of Purcell, Flanagan, Hay & Greene, P.A. At each stop he worked inside firm structures and on client matters that required coordination and clear advocacy.
Richards’ career shows a sequence of firm-based roles rather than a single specialty. Over time he handled the routine tasks that keep a law practice running: drafting pleadings and memoranda, counseling clients, preparing for hearings, and coordinating with colleagues. He has experience managing case files and navigating procedural deadlines. Those practical skills are part of a daily legal practice and inform how he evaluates cases.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and steady in the office and courtroom. He approaches assignments with an eye for detail and a preference for clear, direct communication. In client meetings he tends to focus on the immediate questions at hand. In written work he aims for clarity and precision. This pragmatic approach has guided his transition through firms and assignments over the years.
Outside the chronology of firms, Richards’ record is quiet and workmanlike. There are no public claims of academic posts, major publications, or high-profile litigation attached to his name in the available information. What is evident is a lawyer who has moved through several firm environments and adapted to each one’s demands.
He is admitted to practice in Florida and now works at Purcell, Flanagan, Hay & Greene, P.A. He currently practices law in Florida through Purcell, Flanagan, Hay & Greene, P.A.
