From a grateful client

All I can say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH to Jordan, Joy, Susan and Brianna! I was very stressed about my case but from the initial consultation to the day of my court appearance, Jordan made me feel calm, comfortable and I knew I was in very competent hands. Jordan was honest, patient, very professional ...and very knowledgeable about the law and the legal process. Jordan and Joy were very articulate and did an amazing job with my certification. I am beyond thrilled and grateful about the outcome of my hearing. If you want the best representation for your case, call Jordan Rickards NOW!

Excellent at Understanding and Solving Complex Matters

Jordan’s ability to articulatorily handle complex legal and other matters is flawless. I would recommend Jordan to any person experiencing a complex situation. Jordan’s knowledge and experience tops all others. Jordan’s distinguished career at the Prosecutors Office, Attorney General’s Office and cou...ntless other endeavors, lend Jordan a unique lens that could and would help you dearly. If you are fortunate enough to witness Jordan in action, you will sense a strong sense of loyalty and competitiveness. Even if you have an issue that does not have to to go to a trial or appellate court, do yourself a favor and have Jordan take a look. Jordan will diligently and efficiently get you on the right path — he is very capable. Jordan is very gifted and organized; God has blessed the Citizens of New Jersey with Jordan — I can’t recommend him enough. I thank Jordan for the service he recently provided me, and for the service he will continue to provide to all my fellow New Jerseyans.

Honesty and Integrity

I have known Mr. Rickards for nearly 10 yrs., working with him on numerous projects. He has always been principled, honest, forthcoming, straightforward, and professional. He is never ambiguous. I find this to be refreshing and always know our goals and expectations before I accept a request to te...am with him on any project. There is no difference between his personal and professional self. I have observed him in action with the staff of his law firm. The sense of camaraderie and mutual respect is evident in their interactions. This fosters a collaborative and productive work environment. Having had the benefit of seeing Mr. Rickards in and out of his law practice confirms that his integrity is constant. I highly recommend him.

RELENTLESS, PERSISTENT, RESULTS-DRIVEN

My legal journey with Jordan began in late 2015. Within minutes of our initial consultation, I knew that I had chosen the highest caliber attorney to represent and advocate for me. My challenges were steep and complicated. They required accomplished legal representation and consistent endurance whi...ch ultimately, successfully concluded in mid-2018. Jordan spent the time to discuss these challenges with me in detail, the legal processes, time-frames, and procedures. He explained everything to me in terms that I could clearly understand. I was not disappointed, and greatly impressed. Jordan can best be described as detail-oriented, extremely knowledgeable, unwavering, thorough, methodical, persistent, and a tireless advocate for those smart enough to retain his services. Simply stated, Jordan exceeded my highest expectations. His dedication to me, as his client, speaks volumes about him as an exceptional attorney who not only cares about your legal matters but understands how they impact you as a person. My best decision, by far, to choose Jordan as legal representation more then countered my poorest decision that led me to seek representation in the first place. Thank you, Jordan!

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.
