About Richard D.
Richard D. McOmber is an attorney admitted to practice in New Jersey. He works within the state's legal system and represents clients in matters governed by New Jersey law. His career is rooted in the state's courts and administrative processes, where he handles the day-to-day tasks that define state-level legal work.
McOmber's professional life has involved the common duties of a licensed lawyer: advising clients, preparing filings, and appearing in hearings when required. He approaches each matter through a practical lens. That means assessing risk, identifying key factual issues, and advancing legal positions that reflect the statutory and case-law landscape in New Jersey.
Throughout his time in practice he has handled both courtroom and office-based responsibilities. He prepares pleadings and briefs for state court proceedings. He also counsels clients on procedural steps and the likely timelines for resolution. In settings that do not end up in court, he negotiates on behalf of clients and pursues settlements when those outcomes serve his clients' interests.
His understanding of New Jersey rules and local practice informs how he structures cases. He is familiar with the filing requirements, calendars, and evidentiary standards that govern state matters. That familiarity helps when deadlines approach or when strategic decisions must be made quickly.
Colleagues and clients describe him as steady in litigation and careful in advisory work. He places emphasis on clear communication. He explains options and consequences in straightforward terms so clients can decide how to proceed. He also works with other professionals—investigators, consultants, and experts—when a matter requires specialized input.
Outside of the courtroom, McOmber manages the preparations that underpin effective advocacy. That includes drafting complex documents, organizing discovery, and arranging witness testimony. He treats each element of a case as part of an overall plan to achieve an appropriate result under New Jersey law.
Today he maintains an active practice in New Jersey, representing individuals and entities in matters that arise under state law. His current practice focuses on legal matters arising in New Jersey.
