'''Richard A. Bottomfeeder'''{{e|Krabs vs. Plankton}} is an attorney for {{Link|Mr. Krabs}}. He first appears in the episode "[[Krabs vs. Plankton]]" and makes cameos in several other episodes.

Richard is a short light green fish with black hair. He wears a light gray suit with a red bowtie. He also wears pants and shoes. He has very short and very thin golden glasses.

==Role in series==
==="Krabs vs. Plankton"===
Richard A. Bottomfeeder appears after Mr. Krabs gets upset over being sued by {{Link|Plankton}} and wishes that he had an attorney. Richard comes into the scene and gladly offers to help Mr. Krabs by counter-suing Plankton for everything he has got, to earn even more [[money]], much to the delight of Mr. Krabs. However, before he can get to [[Court House|Bikini Bottom Court]], he slips on water near {{Link|SpongeBob}} and is greatly injured, telling SpongeBob he cannot make it to court. He then gives SpongeBob a briefcase, telling him that everything that he needs to win his case is in there except for a suit. SpongeBob then takes the briefcase and leaves to represent Mr. Krabs in Richard's absence.

He spends a very long time trying to open the briefcase until it finally opens towards the end of the trial, revealing only Richard's lunch - a [[Krabby Patty]]. SpongeBob then uses the Krabby Patty to get Plankton to admit he lied by teasing it to him, allowing Mr. Krabs to win the trial.
