Johnny M Riddick

I was referred to Mr. Riddick from a Partner in a super prestigious D.C. Law Firm. The Partner told me that I needed to see a man named Johnny Riddick. She told me that he was a really talented and experienced lawyer. When I met him, and after my initial consultation, I knew he was the lawyer for... me. Basically, I had been in a long term relationship with a complete slickster. I had at stake well over two million dollars, a perfect credit rating, and a reputation as an honest businesswoman. The man was trying to destroy me. Mr. Riddick told me that he would handle it, and he told me after that first meeting, "I will handle your matter, and I will do a great job for you". It took a little over a year, but my case was resolved just before the trial. I paid a very small amount of money, and got the case settled. In exchange, I got rid of a slickster. And I got my life back. Mr. Riddick helped me to see my life clearly, and help me to make correct decisions about my future. It is difficult to describe how beautifully he and his stiff treated me. He is an extremely patient man, and a terrific lawyer. I thank God for Johnny Riddick. I have my life back! S

I came to see Mr. Riddick about a divorce. A very dear friend and neighbor, who happens to also be an attorney, referred me to him. I was represented at the time by a capable attorney, but because of problematic communication, had apparently entered into a deal to sell the marital home and equally... divide the proceeds. My now ex-husband was a very experienced attorney himself, and I believe he pulled a fast one over on my lawyer. So I came to see Mr. Riddick, and carefully explained my circumstances. He asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted to keep my home, and not be forced to move out. I also told him that I did not think it fair that we equally divide the proceeds. He told me he needed to think about it for a day or so. I came back to see him, and he told me a couple of ways to get what I believed was fair. For the next year, the case was in court on various motions. Long story short, literally less than one (1) minute before the very last court hearing was to have begun, the case was settled. Here is what I got. I got to "keep" the marital home. And moreover, I saved well more than $100,000.00 in buying my ex-husband out. I am more than pleased. I am ecstatic. My result was exceptional. And at each juncture in the process, Mr. Riddick would bring me into his office, and carefully explain what he was trying to accomplish, and the risks and possible rewards of his strategy. Further, Mr. Riddick treated me with the utmost respect and tenderness. He did not talk down to me, and he encouraged my questions of his strategy and legal methods. He is a quite exceptional lawyer, and an exceptionally caring man.

I have known Mr. Riddick for nearly 25 years and he has represented either me or my family members on a number of occasions during that time. Mr. Riddick has been and is very professional and courteous in his representation of his clients. While no lawyer can guarantee a successful result, Mr. Riddi...ck will guarantee his clients that he will fight and give his best in his representation. Mr. Riddick is always timely in his compliance with court orders and for his clients, he timely returns their calls and keeps them informed about their case's status. i was particularly impressed with Mr. Riddick's settlement and negotiation skills. I regard Mr. Riddick as one of DC's best practitioners and would recommend him highly.

Johnny is primarily focused on keeping the case open so that he can make more money and not address the critical issues with the case. He has frequently said, " I will Pray For You". When what you are paying for is Legal Representation based upon the facts. He will drag the case out to make the... most possible money.

I came to see Mr. Riddick about a six figure property transaction just a few months ago. I had used another attorney in his firm years ago to handle another legal matter, and I was very satisfied. My new case involved a real estate investor trying to take advantage of me by forcing me to sell my in...terest in a property. The investor wanted to pay me less than fair value for my interest, and then wanted to make me pay for closing costs and a bunch of other expenses. When I refused the investors' offer, they sued me! I met with Mr. Riddick immediately, who simply said, "I'll take care of it, don't worry". Mr. Riddick answered their complaint, then sued them! Long story short. Several months later, they settled with me, before the case went to court, and paid me $50,000.00 more than they had originally offered, and I did not have to pay one dime in costs associated with that transaction. Great result! That man has skills!
