You will not be disappointed by this Lawyer!!!

From start to finish Mr. Huizenga’s firm is TOP notch! Thank you so much to everyone I spoke to that helped me! I felt MORE than prepared for court and got my favorable decision quickly. I am more than happy and won’t hesitate to refer anyone to Richard and his Team of Laywers for TOP notch service! ...

Overall great experience

I hired Richard to defend me against a traffic violation that was going to put points on my record and increase my insurance. From my first phone consultation, he was easy to talk to and understanding— two traits I didn’t expect. Richard actually went to the court for me on the day of my trial (I did...n’t have to go) and represented me. He was able to reduce the charge and I was charged a fee, but didn’t receive any points on my license. I would hire Richard again in a heartbeat when (hopefully not though!) I needed to. I recommend him to everyone!! Great and so easy to work with.

Highly Recommend

I can not begin to express my gratitude for Rich and his teams services and would highly recommend this firm to anyone! Rich’s knowledge and expertise were top-notch in aiding me with the courts and to personally keep me calm through the process. He knew all the answers to my questions, with detail, ...and aided in helping justice prevail and the appropriate outcome to fruition. Not only is Rich to thank, but his aids and office staff maintained professionalism and assisted whenever I needed. A HIGH CLASS, EXCELLENT experience! want JUSTICE.. get the BEST!

Very Impressed & Would Recommend to Anyone. Thank you! :)

I can't recommend this firm highly enough - I am SO glad I hired them to help me. Their rates were reasonable, so much so that they actually ended up being half what the fines and fees would potentially have been if I'd represented myself & plead guilty. I was really stressed over going to court f...or 3 tickets related to an auto accident - two 2-points tickets and one 0-points ticket. It was a complex case, and I dreaded pretty much any question I might have been asked...it just would have been difficult to explain without going into a long story, which I definitely did not want to do (I'm kind of shy anyway, and hate public speaking). I had seen the judge in action when I requested more time to find an attorney, and I could tell he was incredibly smart and perceptive. I wasn't looking forward to facing him in court and trying to explain a complicated situation that I quite frankly just wanted to forget. It was really scary, actually. But I needn't have worried. My attorney was amazing - he worked everything out with the prosecutor, who agreed to toss out the two 2-pt tickets if I plead guilty to the third, 0-pt ticket. It was quick and painless, and I didn't have to answer a single awkward question. The judge was very nice, and he even joked around a bit (I'm not sure if that was a by-product of having representation, but it certainly seemed that way.) I definitely felt safer having an attorney by my side, guiding me through the process. Thank you SO much! Words can't express how grateful I am to have had such a stressful experience go so smoothly, and turn out so well. You guys just rock. :)

  • 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.
