RICHARD R RIO

Richard R. Rio, Esq., has been involved in all aspects of the New York City taxi industry since 1976. Initially an insurance broker, he secured liability and collision insurance for over 1000 taxicabs and managed their accounts. During this same period, he was a licensed and bonded NYC taxi medallion broker, and arranged the sale of more than 500 taxi medallions.

He also assisted them in other facets of their personal dealings,..
