prompt and precise

Mr. Blakely answered the questions I posed within 1 day and provided detailed information about his scope of services for a real estate matter. He showed significant interest for my needs by doing so, and I am very inclined to choose him to represent me.

great attorney!

I have been a client of Rick's for probably 15 years and he is professional, knowledgeable and personable. I have complete trust in his ability to handle what ever I ask of him. He handled my will and my father's estate, as well as answering questions about various subjects.
