Johnny M Riddick

Although Mr. Riddick is listed as a divorce attorney, his experience in the legal arena over the years results in a broader capacity to guide one through the legalities of life. It gave me the confidence to pursue a divorce that was both reasonable and sane and helped me to secure the assets I have... worked hard for throughout my life. An added benefit to the thorough discussions, reasearch and counsel is that it allowed me to transverse a very difficult time in life with some level of peace and dignity. A burden has been lifted and I can move on with my life knowing that I'm doing right by the people in my life, without all of the burdens I've been carrying for years. Regardless of how it turns out in the end, the process has been healing.

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.

My husband chose to leave me after 33 tears of marriage. It devastated me. I loved him. Shortly afterwards I received a letter from his attorney. The letter was accompanied by a proposed settlement agreement, which basically provided for us to sell everything (we had two homes), and equally divid...e the proceeds. We also both had government pensions. I was pissed off! So I started looking for an attorney. I started researching online for a qualified divorce attorney. I had more than a million dollars at stake so I had to have someone with a lot of experience. I interviewed several lawyers. Mr. Riddick was the last attorney I interviewed. Once I met with him, however, it did not take me long to realize that he was the attorney I wanted. He talked to me about the law in a way that other lawyers did not. It was clear to me that he was a really talented attorney. He asked me what I wanted. I told him that I felt like since it was my husband who broke up our marriage, I was entitled to BOTH Houses, and everything in them. He told me to allow him a couple of days to develop a strategy to get it done. When we met several days later, he talked to me about what he felt was the best way for me to get what I wanted. He shared his ideas about strategy, and they made sense to me. So I approved his strategy and he went to work. About four months later here's what I got. I got to keep BOTH HOUSES by paying a reasonable buy-out figure that I could easily afford. I also got all of the other things I felt I was entitled to. So while I am not happy that my marriage ended, I am thrilled with the results I got. Mr. Riddick's legal work is amazing. I thank God for that man.

I was referred to Mr. Riddick by a good friend. Mr. Riddick represented him in a bitter divorce case, and my fiend was more than pleased with the outcome. My case involved a legal separation. Several million dollars was at stake. I told Mr. Riddick what I was trying to accomplish. I felt like I ...wanted to keep what I had earned and acquired, but also felt like I was entitled to the marital home because of the unique circumstances which caused the demise of my marriage. I was also sensitive and did not want to hurt my wife, who is an accomplished woman. So I made clear what my objectives were. Mr. Riddick thought about it, and we met a few days later. He developed a strategy, and made clear that he wanted everything to be truthful, candid and straightforward. He, and his Senior Counsel of many years, began to execute the strategy. His strategy worked. Moreover, it worked for both parties. I got what I believe I should have received, and I got it without trying to hurt my soon to be ex-spouse. Great legal work. And he treated me with kindness, understanding, and considerable professionalism. I am very pleased.

At first Johnny did all the right things to give me the impression that he could best represent me in court so that I could continue to see my daughter and raise her to be productive in our society. Instead of representing my interest, Johnny first found out that I had a good job and could afford t...o pay him. He allowed my 13 year old daughter to go on the witness stand. This has turned out to be disastrous for my daughter because she is now realizing that it was a bad idea. Her mother didn't care, however I expected Johnny - giving his years of experiences not to allow this. Then Johnny started telling me that he will pray for me. I needed an attorney to represent me in court so that I could continue to see me daughter even though my wife wanted out of the marriage. My wife took advantage of me and my now-ex-wife took advantage of me. I needed a good attorney that knows the laws and how to represent me. One of the things that he does is not to give you a copy of the legal documents so that he can get more money out of you. Telling me that you will pray for me, mean while my ex-wife is killing me in court and she is representing herself and she is not an attorney.
