About
Richard Moore knows that divorce is not a time for legal games or sugarcoated advice—it is a critical turning point that requires decisive action, sharp financial intelligence, and absolute transparency. As a veteran Team Leader Attorney, now an Associate Attorney at Hensley and Associates Family Law, PLLC, Richard has built his reputation on a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to marital dissolution. He cuts through the emotional noise of the courtroom to focus on what truly matters: shielding his clients, protecting their assets, and securing a clear path forward.
Executive Leadership & Hard-Hitting Strategy
Richard’s trajectory in family law is defined by results and rapid advancement. A defining moment in his career came in 2023 when he accepted a Senior Associate position at his first family law firm. After immediately excelling in high-stakes litigation, he was swiftly promoted to Team Leader Attorney. Today, he manages all Oklahoma staff, including associate attorneys, senior associates, paralegals, and senior paralegals.
He leverages an elite background in finance and tax, often working closely with Forensic Accountants, to give his divorce clients a distinct tactical advantage as well as . After graduating from Bishop Kelley High School, Richard earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting with a minor in Finance from the University of Oklahoma. He then completed a rigorous Joint Degrees program at the University of Tulsa, earning both his Juris Doctor and a Master of Taxation. Remarkably, he was the only joint-degree student in his class to be awarded the prestigious Order of Barristers for his exceptional skill in mock trial and negotiation competitions. This rare combination of financial mastery and aggressive courtroom prowess means he pinpoints hidden assets, navigates complex tax liabilities, and tears through opposing arguments with absolute precision.
Navigating Litigation with Radical Candor
Divorce inevitably triggers an emotional rollercoaster that can cloud a client's judgment, particularly in high-conflict cases. Richard draws a firm line here: his role is to keep you grounded, not to validate counterproductive emotional responses.
He actively pushes his clients to separate emotion from strategy, insisting that the best interests of the children always remain first and foremost. Richard believes the absolute key to successful representation is direct, proactive communication. He doesn't leave his clients guessing; he tells you exactly what is coming, what has occurred, and the precise legal ramifications of both. By ensuring you are completely informed and fully aware of the realities of the process, he eliminates confusion and ensures you are never blindsided by unpredictable outcomes.
