Bad, stay away

They will keep the case open to bill you more. They won't give you the files when you've moved on to another attorney. I'll have to pay again. They'll bill you thousands of dollars for a binder of paper copies that you provided them initially. After you spend the money, you don't get much in your ...favor from the case. Once referred to a loan shark in a suit. Those other "exceptional"reviews seems fishy...just saying. Stay away.

Exceptional Legal Work. Dedicated Attorney

My case was concluded in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on January 17, 2018. The outcome of my case was such that I felt the need to give Mr. Riddick an outstanding recommendation. I was referred to Mr. Riddick by my adult daughter. My matter involved an estate case, with quite hos...tile parties. The case had been pending for seven years, and I had been represented by several prior attorneys, who just could not bring the case to finality. I consulted with Mr. Riddick, and retained him the same day. It only took a short time with him to realize that he is very experienced attorney, has broad legal knowledge, and is a person of integrity. I retained Mr. Riddick in February, 2017. For eleven months he fought for me. I was facing the loss of my share of a substantial estate. He defended me against untruthful allegations, and did legal research going back 40 years to find legal authority, which proved to be the basis upon which I ultimately received the share of the estate that I was due. Mr. Riddick's work was done timely, and he allowed me to review and discuss all of his work before it was filed. He treated me with respect. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his work and the people he serves. I am quite satisfied.

A Substantive, Sane Divorce

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.

Exceptionally Smart Lawyer, Super Attentive and Caring Man

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

Outstanding Legal Work- Really Great Guy

I was referred to Mr. Riddick by someone who works in the courthouse. He told me that Mr. Riddick was really experienced in support matters. I had back child support due of more than $64,000.00, which went back more than 15 years. However, during that period of time I had become disabled, I was sh...ot years ago in the back. I am on disability. But the child support was still due. I live in Pennsylvania, and could not easily get down to D.C. So Mr. Riddick was asked to help me, and called me in Pennsylvania. I explained to him what was happening to me. He listened carefully, as I told him that I owed $64,000.00 in child support. After listening, Mr. Riddick told me he would help me. Over a period of several months, he communicated with me and we came up with a plan. Mr. Riddick then went with me to court. What happened amazed me. Mr. Riddick had several meetings and two court hearings on my case. At the end he got my child support reduced to $3,500.00, which I pay in monthly payments of $100.00, a figure I can easily afford. I am beyond happy with my result. When I left court to head back to Pennsylvania, I asked Mr. Riddick how much I owed him. He said, "Sir, your bill is zero, you owe me nothing, God Bless You". I just hugged him. What a wonderful man, and a great lawyer. His work changed my life.
