I am a builder, maker, entrepreneur, and the founder of DeAtley Law, PLLC. I grew up in a business family – I would have been the fifth generation operating my family’s surface mining and aggregate business. My experience in the aggregate industry led me to start DeAtley Law, initially focusing on assisting small- and medium-sized mine operations during disputes with the Mine Safety and Health Administration. While doing this, I realized that I had no clients within 100 miles of my office – I was a virtual firm without meaning to be.. With this realization I began to think of how other areas of law could be adapted to the virtual law firm model. I discovered that my model of law firm is a perfect fit for entrepreneurial and business law. Small businesses typically cannot afford the high cost of old-school attorneys and therefore do not seek the legal support they need. With a virtual law firm, I can provide businesses with proactive legal strategy and development — all while keeping my overhead costs down. I can then pass that savings onto my client. Making a call to the attorney is something my clients are not afraid to make.

John F. Richey grew up in his family business and is keenly familiar with the ins-and-outs and ups-and-downs that come with running a business. He also understands the “first in, last out” mentality required to make a business successful. After witnessing the problems caused by poor legal representation and advice to his family’s business, John decided that the best way to help others avoid similar pitfalls was to become a lawyer.. John found time to complete law school, volunteered with the Sacramento County Public Defender’s Office, formed a legal non-profit to assist the elderly with end-of-life legal representation, and became a reserve Sheriff Deputy with the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, all while he and his wife raised 4 young children and worked full-time.. He’s currently licensed to practice law in the State of Idaho, the State of California, and their federal districts. He is a member of the American Bar Association, the State Bar of California, the State Bar of Idaho, the J. Reuben Clark Law Society, and the ABA Forum on Franchising.. He has represented clients in a variety of matters in the United States and internationally, including Spain, France, the Netherlands, throughout South America, Canada, and China. His clients range from global corporations to small mom-and-pop companies with cases ranging from wrongfully terminated employees to administrators in estate planning matters. Helping others is in John’s DNA.. When not assisting clients, John can be found working around his property or spending time outdoors golfing and paddleboarding with his family.
