Resolution

I retained Mr. Ricci during a very challenging time when I was divorcing. With all the various factors that were entangled in my case, Mr. Ricci navigated me through the journey with fair resolution. Communication was clear and answered my inquiries in a timely matter. One of the striking points th...at Mr. Ricci provided during my divorce was how he was able to separate emotions from the law. His services did not stop when my divorce was final which was greatly appreciated.

Amazing Lawyer

I hired Bob to help me execute one of the most difficult and important decisions of my life. I can honestly say Bob is a lawyer who really cares about what he does and his clients. He took the time to fully understand every aspect of my case and represented me much better than I would have ever expec...ted. He was always there when I needed him and advised me against doing many things that would have resulted in an unnecessary expense. I would recommend Bob to anyone who is looking for a good, honest, and caring lawyer.

Empathetic and Present

I hired Robert Ricci to represent me in a Child Custody case recently. The nature of the case with the defendant was very sensitive and emotional to say the least. Robert has been nothing less than attentive to my concerns, legal needs and emotional state of mind. He has been responsive to every ...call or email that was transmitted to his office. He offered legal advice that was both in keeping with the laws and taking into account my emotional state of mind. Both Robert and his paralegal, were very attentive and professional during this entire journey. Robert listen and this is a notably characteristic in an Attorney. Robert, was proactive and present. He had the respect of the court and the judge. Robert has successful provided me with professional service that yielded a favorable outcome to me. I highly recommend Robert Ricci Jr and his Paralegal to anyone that has a family matter and is in need of an attorney, that is knowledgeable in the law, one that listens, is empathetic, and knows how to address the court to bring about favorable results to their given circumstance. Robert also worked with me financially in allowing me to afford him while at the same time not compromising his professional service to me. Thank you Robert.

Professional, Responsible & A Good Guy

I approached Mr. Ricci with a legal challenge that is rarely successful in the State of New Jersey. We collaborated and executed on a strategy that concluded in a very successful outcome. He took the time to study the nuances of my situation, pushed back when appropriate and was aggressive with th...e other side when needed. I also found that he was mindful of his time so that his fees were very reasonable relative to the services he provided. I highly recommend Mr. Ricci.

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
