Excellent Outcome in Complex Million Dollar Legal Matter

I was referred to Mr. Riddick by a close personal friend. She indicated she had used his services in years past and was very pleased with his services. My matter involved a million dollar trust left to myself and a sibling. My sibling sued me, and hired a prominent lawyer to represent him. I w...ent to Mr. Riddick to defend me. When I explained my case to Mr. Riddick, he asked what was the outcome that I wanted. I told him I wanted to keep the home I grew up in, which was the biggest part of the trust. My Riddick told me he would work towards that goal. After one year of litigation, I got exactly what I wanted. I got to buy-out my sibling's interest in the home for less than half the home's current value, and I got to keep all of the money in the trust accounts, which was significant. Needless to say, I am quite happy with the outcome. Mr. Riddick worked tirelessly in this matter, and treated me exceptionally well. I recommend him highly.

Former Client

As a father, and full time physician, I was desperately seeking custody of my son. I had tried two other attorneys before a fellow church member recommended Atty. Riddick. Over the past 5 years he has advised, guided or assisted me through the maze of the DC family court system. He has done everyt...hing from providing legal advice to full representation; never once has he seen his role as too small to be important. His input has always been concise and valuable. Because of his efforts, on my behalf, I have shared custody and decision making authority with my son. I am indebted to him for helping to make possible the father/son relationship my son and I share. I recommend Atty. Johnny Riddick without reservation.

Excellent Legal Work

I met Mr. Riddick about 30 years ago. He handled my divorce, and did a great job. Since that time, he has handled a number of legal matters for me. He has done a great job in each instance. Recently, I came to Mr. Riddick about a matter involving my mother. My mother wanted to make a gift to... me of a home, because of the way I have cared for her and the home. However, a mistake had been made in the deed which transferred the property more than 40 years ago. It took Mr. Riddick six visits to the government office to correct the problem which had been made decades ago. But he did not stop until it was done. The matter was resolved successfully. For more than 30 years, I have been able to consult him about legal matters, and he has always served me well. He is a very good lawyer.

Life Saver Attorney

Johnny Riddick has represented my mother for many years in various personal and business matters. I am her oldest child. My mother has run a successful business in D.C. for decades. Recently, she had an unusual case, and turned once again to Mr. Riddick to assist her. A six figure sum of money wa...s stolen from her. The money was recovered from the perpetrators. However, the recovered money was not returned to my mother. So she met with Mr. Riddick as she has done many times in the past, and explained to ohim what had happened. Mr. Riddick told her not to worry, that he would take care of everything. Mr. Riddick developed a strategy on how to get the money back, and explained it to my mother. My mother agreed. Mr. Riddick got to work on the matter. One year later, almost to the day, I received a package in the mail on behalf of my mother. In the package was a cashier's check for the returned money, almost a six figure sum. As fate would have it, the money came at a time when my mother became ill, and the money was needed for her care. Mr. Riddick, as he has done many times over the years he has served my mother, got the job done. He is a trustworthy attorney. Furthermore, during my mother's illness, he has been emotionally supportive. My mother loves Johnny Riddick.

Experienced, Caring Lawyer

Johnny Riddick, armed with his in-depth expertise in DC divorce law and the support of his caring legal team, engineered a positive outcome to my divorce case. Mr. Riddick’s strategy began by developing an intimate understanding of the complex reasons I was seeking a divorce. His caring and kind appr...oach bolstered my decision to retain his services. Then, over the course of almost a year, he delved into the annals of DC divorce cases to fight valiantly on my behalf and protect my rights as a spouse, and more importantly, a mother, during the proceedings. His dedication spared me from what could have been a protracted and even more painful experience. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him.
