Confidentiality isn’t optional in the legal world. It’s foundational.

Every document your firm handles carries weight.

Case files, client records, discovery materials, financial statements, medical records, and privileged correspondence all demand absolute discretion from creation to destruction. One misstep can put your firm’s reputation, compliance standing, and client trust at risk.

For decades, Richards & Richards has partnered with law firms across Middle Tennessee to ensure sensitive legal documents are destroyed securely, consistently, and with complete accountability.

Built for the Standards Law Firms Are Held To

Legal professionals operate under strict ethical obligations and regulatory requirements. We understand that document destruction isn’t just a back-office task, it’s a critical part of your firm’s risk management strategy.

Our shredding services are designed to support:

  • Attorney-client privilege protection
  • Bar association and professional responsibility standards
  • HIPAA and financial record retention requirements (when applicable)
  • Internal audit and compliance documentation needs

Every shred is handled with precision, and every service includes clear documentation so your firm can demonstrate compliance with confidence.

Local, Discreet, and Accountable

As a locally owned company with deep roots in Middle Tennessee, we operate differently than national shredding chains.

When our team arrives at your office, we work:

  • On schedule and without disruption
  • Discreetly and professionally around staff and clients
  • With direct accountability, not outsourced labor or call centers

If timelines tighten or case volumes spike, you’re working with people you can reach directly. No tickets. No runaround. Just responsive service from a team that understands how law offices operate day to day.

On-Site Shredding You Can Witness

For many legal firms, visibility matters. That’s why we offer on-site shredding services that allow your team to witness documents being destroyed in real time.

This added layer of assurance helps eliminate doubt, supports internal controls, and reinforces trust with partners and clients who expect the highest level of confidentiality.

A Long-Term Partner, Not Just a Vendor

We don’t view shredding as a one-time transaction. We view it as an ongoing partnership built on reliability and trust.

Whether your firm needs

  • Scheduled recurring shredding
  • One-time purges for closed cases or file clean-outs
  • Secure container placement within your office
