Richard has worked in the real estate planning and development field since 1973 as an attorney, land use planner, designer and project manager. This experience has involved working on both sides of the legal, land use and public works counters at several public agencies. His law practice has included varied and extensive litigation, as well as transactional work. He has also served as a prosecutor, judge pro tem, mediator and court appointed arbitrator. As school board trustee, director of several non profit organizations and as a hearing examiner, his public service has been consistent with the Thompson Law Office's long-standing commitment to the community.

Richard grew up in and around Monterey, is a product of local public schools, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and the Santa Clara University School of Law. He and his wife Lori live in Monterey where they are active community service volunteers. They enjoy golf and spending time with family, friends and their dog Allie. Richard is also active in the Monterey Bay MathCounts program, sponsored by the California Society of Civil Engineers, which holds an annual math skills competition for regional middle-school students.
