History

The current firm was founded in Fillmore by Ransom Richardson in 1896.  He was joined in 1940 by his son David P. Richardson (1908-1990). 

David T. Pullen joined the firm in 1975 and took over its leadership in 1980. 

The heritage of the firm goes back even further, and traces its origins back to 1827, when Ransom Lloyd (1799-1870) set up a law office in Angelica, New York. 

The practice was handed down through four generations of the Lloyd and Richardson family, first in Angelica and then in Fillmore. 

Previous incarnations of the firm include Cooley & Lloyd, Lloyd & Pulling, Richardson, Flenagin & Smith, and Richardson & Pullen.  Past and present members of the firm have variously served the community as judge, district attorney, county legislator and even a U.S. congressman. 

Throughout our history, now spanning three centuries, our firm has earned a reputation for providing excellent service and cost-effective counsel to our clients, who benefit from our significant experience in handling a wide range of matters.

Regardless of what changes the future may bring, we remain committed to our community and strive to provide professional and affordable legal expertise, while offering an unmatched personal touch and unique understanding of local conditions and issues.
