Outstanding Lawyer Who Truly Cares!

Ethan is an exceptional lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients. He is extremely kind, patient, and always eager to help. When I was going through difficult times facing false accusations from my landlord and a stressful eviction case, Ethan handled everything with incredible caution, expertise,... and dedication. He was able to secure a successful outcome for me and my roommates, relieving us of immense stress. I highly recommend Ethan—he’s truly someone you can trust 100%.

The amazing excellence, skillfulness, warmth, know-how, and dedication of Attorney Rittershaus

Attorney Rittershaus is not only a rare find, but also a delight to work with. I first hired him in 2015, after I exhausted myself with the search for an attorney. When I first met him, I was overwhelmed by his warmth and graciousness, and after that with his dedication to my case, his skillfulness..., understanding, and going more than an extra mile for me. Attorney and guardian Angel is golden combination, particularly when it comes to settlements that are not respected by one party. I trusted my ex-husband when it came to a divorce and went to a mediator with him. Hoooowever Ex-husbands with a new wife can have a tendency to not respect alimony settlement, that are done through only a mediator. That is particularly so, if they have their own company and can maneuver money around. Ethan produced exactly the result I wished for, even though the case ended up more difficult than originally expected, and my ex had hired an attorney who had far more years of experience than Attorney Rittershaus. My particular wish was to have the case conducted with love and respect. That was the main reason I was not able to hire another attorney. Well, I got all that I wished for and even more. I hired attorney Rittershaus again recently, and he surprised me even more. I was not in the US and needed Documents in Germany, and I needed them fast. He did the impossible and in the most speedy manner. I also needed a letter stating a certain Law in the US. Attorney Rittershaus composed that letter with elegance, and in a most excellent manner. The letter was written as if he is both an American and a German Attorney. He provided even references in the German Law system, that corresponded to my Case! What was even more surprising, was the speedy manner in which the Documents arrived in spite of all the obstacles that the outbreak of Covit 19 brought about. Now I am hiring again, for yet another case, and so very appreciative to have him as my attorney again. I know the praise I sing for Attorney Rittershaus may be hard to believe. However, once you meet him in Person, you will see that I have hardly praised attorney Rittershaus Enough!

Exemplary Attorney!

There are simply not enough superlatives to describe what an exceptional attorney Ethan Rittershaus has shown himself to be. Mine is an unusual and complicated case, but Attorney Rittershaus is undaunted by it's challenges and remains undeterred, despite a regrettable vocal outburst on my part, but w...hich he graciously took in stride. That is just how amazing he really is. He is dedicated to fairness and works tirelessly to achieve justice. My case requires intense research which he accomplishes in a timely manner. He stays in touch with me to keep me apprised of the issues concerning this litigation and to actually listen to my concerns going forward. My case has yet to be heard in court, but I have every confidence in Attorney Rittershaus as he is most dedicated to the practice of law and helping his clients above and beyond the calling of his profession. In summary, Attorney Rittershaus exemplifies the very best in our justice system and one may have complete confidence and trust with his representation.

Sharp legal acumen, and a lawyer that you can trust.

Attourney Rittershaus is an exceptional find with whom I have consulted with extensively over a difficult family law matter. With a dynamic understanding of the law, he has a sensible and pragmatic approach to getting the job done. He is quick, astute, and delved directly into the heart of my case. ... On a personal level, attorney Rittershaus is gifted with the personal touch, and a good heart. He listens better than any lawyer with whom I have worked with over with the years, and attorney Rittershaus holds himself to high ethical standards.
