About Richard C.
Richard C. Flanigan's path combined military training and legal study. He earned a Bachelor of Science from the United States Military Academy in 1964 and returned to school after several years to complete a J.D. at Boston College Law School in 1971. Those two institutions set a clear intellectual tone: disciplined, methodical, and exacting.
After law school he established a career practicing in the mid-Atlantic. He is admitted to the bars of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Over the decades he has maintained a practice that serves clients across those two states, adapting to shifting case law and regulatory change as the legal landscape evolved.
His education at West Point and Boston College Law School shapes the way he approaches legal work. The military schooling is evident in an organized, procedural bent. The legal training adds careful analysis and an emphasis on precedent. Colleagues describe someone who plans deliberately and values clarity in written work and courtroom presentations.
Flanigan has worked from multiple offices during his career, reflecting a practice that moved with his clients and opportunities. He has handled matters that required coordination across state lines. That experience gave him practical knowledge of differences in procedure and practice between Pennsylvania and New Jersey courts, and the practicalities of managing files and deadlines under two separate bar regimes.
Clients and peers have noted his steady presence in regional legal circles. He has been a lawyer through several eras of change: shifts in technology, the rise of complex regulatory schemes, and evolving civil and commercial practice norms. He has applied the fundamentals he learned at his schools to the everyday demands of case management, negotiation, and litigation when required.
In recent years he has continued to counsel and represent individuals and entities in matters heard in courts and tribunals in his admitted jurisdictions. He handles daily practice matters and the more complex issues that require careful research and procedural attention. He remains active in private practice, serving clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
He currently maintains a law practice serving clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
