Johnny Riddick Review 2014

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.

Highly Recommend

Initially, I was referred to Mr. Riddick when I needed to file for a divorce. It was a very stressful time for me, full of uncertainty about the direction that my life had taken. He reassured me that my primary concern of financial ruin was not an option. It was a bitter divorce but Mr. Riddick... was the consummate professional in advocating for me. Because of his tenacity, the settlement was very favorable for me. I know without any doubt, had I been represented by someone else, I would not have come through that ordeal with the financial solvency that I did. Recently, I needed the help of Mr. Riddick regarding a property matter that was of a major concern to me. Just as he had done in the past, he resolved the issue with the same level of professionalism that he demonstrated in my divorce proceedings. Mr. Riddick is knowledgeable and hard-hitting but he is also very compassionate and clearly understands the human element that is involved in every case that he handles. I recommend him highly!
