About Richard
Richard Daly combined a West Coast undergraduate experience with Midwestern legal training before launching a long career in private practice. He attended the University of California, Los Angeles, and went on to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where he completed his Juris Doctor in 1996 after beginning studies in 1993. Those years set the foundation for a steady legal life that has focused on serving clients at the firm level.
Daly’s time in law school coincided with a period of practical training and early professional networking. He completed the formal legal curriculum in 1996 and moved into practice soon after. He has maintained membership in professional associations and stayed active in bar-related circles, a sign that he kept one foot in the broader legal community while building a private practice.
Much of Daly’s work has been centered at Daly & Black, P.C. The firm has been the primary office through which he has delivered legal services. Colleagues and clients encounter him in that setting. He has contributed to the daily operations of the practice and to the delivery of client advice and representation, helping navigate the routine and the complex matters that come through a regional law office.
Those who have worked with Daly describe a lawyer who favors clear communication. He tends to prefer practical solutions and plainspoken explanations. His approach reflects the combination of educational influences he received at UCLA and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, balancing analytical skills with attention to client needs. He has kept current on professional requirements and maintained his association memberships, which has helped him stay connected to developments in law and local practice standards.
Over the years Daly has handled a variety of matters that are common to private firms, adapting to shifting conditions in the legal market and in client expectations. He has also served as a steady point of contact for clients who return for subsequent issues. That continuity is a recurring theme in his practice: repeat clients and long-term relationships built on regular counsel and representation.
Today, Daly practices at Daly & Black, P.C., where he maintains a general law practice and continues to provide direct legal services to individual and business clients.
