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!

End your state of despair. Empathetic, experienced..what more could you ask for

I was referred to Mr. Riddick by someone whom he had previously served. He came highly recommended. He defended me in a divorce and custody action. There were significant property issues at stake, including my pension benefits, distribution of the marital home and other personal property. At the ...conclusion of the matter, I retained the home, have primary custody of the children and kept my pension. Mr. Riddick did a great job for me. He put on a listening ear, showed compassion and got tough when needed. He not only advised me, but he educated me throughout the process. Something I truly needed. His work was done timely and professionally, and the outcome obtained was fair and quite satisfactory to me. I understand now why he came highly recommended. His work is superb.

Review of Johnny M Riddick

Johnny Riddick handled my divorce in 2002. He has handled other matters for me since then, and I have been completely satisfied with the outcomes. He is knowledgeable, aggressive, but also has a keen insight into human nature. He is an advocate for children, and fights for what is in the child's b...est interest. I have referred multiple people to him, all of whom have been satisfied.

Compassionate, knowledgeable and a straight shooter...best describes attorney Johnny Riddick.

A divorce is a very emotional time in a person's life and having the right attorney can make or break the case. Mr. Riddick has the experience and more than that, he has the heart. It is very clear that he knows what he's doing and that was proven more times over each time we met. My case involv...ed child custody and while the court generally would move in one direction (as he pointed out to me many, many times), he never wavered in my request regarding custody and in the end WE WON! I would highly recommend Mr. Riddick and suggest you NOT be on the opposing side.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Riddick defended me in a divorce and custody battle with my former wife. We had significant property issues, and my wife wanted sole custody of our son. She accused me of domestic violence twice. Mr. Riddick defeated both attempts after hearings in court. She tried to remove our son from a D....C. school to a Maryland school. We had a 3 day hearing in court and Mr. Riddick won a order which stopped her from removing our son out of his D.C. school. My former wife appealed the case. Mr. Riddick filed a brief with the D.C. Court of Appeals, and the D.C. Court of Appeals dismissed my wife's appeal with a decision which came out in 8 days after the oral argument hearing. When the case came back from the appeal, my wife finally settled the case with me. I now have joint custody of our son with equal time sharing, and I do not have to pay child support. Great result.
