“Rick was referred to me after I spent time and money on an attorney that did absolutely nothing to help my divorce case, and in fact made it sound as if I was going to lose everything! Rick is an attorney that is professional, has good judgment, listens, and always gets back to you in a timely manner. The results were good and I have learned an important lesson! Don’t hire just any attorney! Find one with good referrals! Thank you to Rick and his wonderful staff!”
