Client Review:
The day we received the call that our son who, was away at college, was arrested for resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, and thus charged with 2 felonies, we knew we needed knowledgeable, legal, counsel. Charlie Rittgers met us for the first time, in his office, on a Sunday afternoon. Immediately, we knew we had selected the best counsel for our son, a first time offender. Charlie and his office were able to bring our son’s charges down to a misdemeanor level II, with a possibility of expunging it from the record within two years. We are extremely pleased with the results of Rittgers and Rittgers.

Client Review:
Charlie Rittgers and his firm did an excellent job in representing me in my personal injury case. The case settled prior to having to file a lawsuit for more than I had anticipated. I felt I was in good hands the entire process and was kept totally informed about what was going on with my case. I would highly recommend this firm.

Did not feel he was on my side, would yell over me, never explain as to why we should go a certain way. Believed every word used against me, discounted or dismissed every bit of evidence I provided. Overall it was very weird

I cannot thank Mr. Rittgers and his son enough for their hardwork and due diligence in my case. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

  • I recommend Charles Rittgers.
  • I used Charles more than 3 years ago.
  • Charles handled my Criminal Defense matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
Mr. Rittgers exceeded all my expectations. I have used Mr. Rittgers twice. Once to consult him prior to any criminal charge and once after I was charged. In the first instance, I was never charged and in the second, I was charged and facing legal penalties for immature and stupid behavior and worried that the penalties would affect my driver's license, car insurance, and future job prospects. Thankfully, Mr. Rittgers resolved my matter so that I did not face any consequences. He was vigilant in his representation and focused on my concerns. His firm and staff are great to deal with. I highly recommend Mr. Rittgers for any criminal matter.

Client Review:
I hired this guy to fight a very serious charge, and gave him 10,000$ cash. He never showed up for court, sending another lawyer from his firm who was fresh out of law school in his stead. This lawyer did not know what she was doing and lost the case. I am being sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Lawyer's Comment: I do not believe this review was posted by a former client. It was likely a competitor or someone who does not like me. At the time the review was posted I did not have a female attorney at my firm working in criminal defense. Therefore, the statement that a female attorney appeared in court on my behalf is false.

Best lawyers get the best results!
