attorney review

I have worked with Mr. Ritte on three separate occasions. I have always found him to be all of the things listed above and more. He is extremely easy to talk to, and does not overload you with a lot of legal jargon. He has always been responsive to my calls, if not able to take my call, he gets ba...ck to me in a very reasonable and timely fashion. He has been extremely organized, making our recent closing as smooth and easy as I could ask for. Even though he has a pleasant manner about him, he stands his ground when the opposing attorney gets too assertive. His billing is clear and concise, and I feel his fee schedule has been very fair. I felt that I was charged very fairly, and not nickeled and dimed for every email or phone call. Something I find appalling by other attorneys I have worked with. I would highly recommend his services if you are looking for a very knowledgable, thorough attorney who has an easy manner about him.

Review of Jason R. Rittie, Esq.

Several years ago when my wife and I were looking to purchase a small business we turned to Jason to help guide us through the process. Jason was there for us every step of the way. Not only was he very knowledgeable and responsive but he also provided sound advice and we came to rely on him as a t...rusted advisor. Since that time we have also worked with Jason on both commercial and residential real estate transactions and have been extremely satisfied every time.

Reliable - Well done my commercial closing

Jason did the excellent job in the closing of the purchase of a commercial property and liquor license for me. There is no doubt that I will ask him to do my next closing shorting.

Attorney Research and Diligence with Impressive results

Jason Rittie is the kind of attorney most people wish for...responsive, reliable and willing to go the extra mile to uncover the positive opportunity in the case. Jason handled our real estate transaction and in addition to making the process smooth and easy for us, he researched the property extensi...vely uncovering the additional parcel of land that was missing from the survey. We appreciated his diligence and knowledge in handling the complexities of this for us.

Excellent Attorney, even better person.

Jason took what should have been a simple Landlord/Tenant case and followed it through many different courts and areas of law. Acted with the utmost professionalism during a very emotional case that weaved through Landlord/Tenant, State Civil and Federal Bankruptcy courts against a very very difficu...lt Defendant. Ultimately, we (the Plaintiff) prevailed, which was exactly what Jason had promised on Day 1.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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.
