About Richard Todd

Richard Todd Fass practices personal injury law at Perdue & Kidd, LLP in Houston, Texas. He founded the firm in 1997, establishing a strong reputation in the field of personal injury, medical malpractice, and products liability. The firm serves clients throughout the Houston area and beyond, focusing on cases that require a understanding of complex legal issues. With a commitment to justice, Richard has built a practice that prioritizes the needs of his clients, ensuring they receive the representation they deserve. Richard earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from South Texas College of Law in 1991. Prior to his legal education, he received a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Government and Economics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1989.

This educational background laid the foundation for his legal career, equipping him with critical analytical skills and a knowledge of the law. His studies in economics and government have been particularly beneficial in navigating the details of personal injury claims, where financial implications are often paramount. Focusing primarily on personal injury cases, Richard represents clients who have suffered due to negligence or wrongful conduct. His practice includes advocating for victims of medical malpractice and those harmed by defective products. Each case typically involves thorough investigations and negotiations with insurance companies, and when necessary, litigation to secure fair compensation. Richard’s approach combines meticulous attention to detail with a fierce commitment to his clients, to protect their rights at every stage of the legal process.

Before establishing Perdue & Kidd, Richard held various roles in the legal field, gaining inexperience. He became a partner in 1999, shortly after founding the firm, and has served as a lawyer since 1991. This experience has allowed him to develop a understanding of personal injury law, which he applies to each case he handles. His expertise has been recognized through certification in Personal Injury Trial Law, a distinction that shows his proficiency in the field. Richard is an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Board of Trial Advocates and the Texas Trial Lawyers Association. His involvement in these associations not only supports the legal profession but also reflects his dedication to advocating for the rights of injured individuals.

As a Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation, Richard has made significant contributions to the legal community. In addition to his practice, he is known for mentoring young attorneys, sharing his knowledge and experience in personal injury law.
