How Attorney Riddick and Associates Secured Our Family’s Legacy Against All Odds!"

Our family is forever grateful to Johnathon Riddick and Associates for their unwavering dedication to helping us retain our family property. This was no ordinary case—the property's existence preceded the current laws governing family transfers, making the process complex and time-consuming. Yet, Att...orney Johnathon Riddick remained steadfast in his commitment through every challenge. He made a promise that he would see it through to completion, and he did just that. His diligence, perseverance, and generosity with his time were unmatched. Working with him and his friendly, positive staff was an absolute pleasure. They exemplify what it means to serve the community with excellence—always professional, always determined, and always with a smile. On behalf of Eather Fisher and her descendants, we extend our deepest gratitude. Thank you for making what seemed impossible, possible! — The Fisher Descendants

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.

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.

Awesome and On Point Legal Work!

I came to seer Mr. Riddick about four different legal matters. I was referred by a friend who Mr. Riddick had handled a legal matter (divorce). My friend simply told me that Mr. Riddick was not your typical lawyer. He did outstanding work in every matter, and he really showed me where I was legall...y vulnerable. My matters involved an out of state probate matter, a real estate matter, and a medical negligence issue. His work was outstanding. But one matter deserves special attention. I needed a post-nuptial agreement. I had at stake between $3,000,000 to $4,000,000. So I needed someone with considerable skill. I did not want a divorce. I love my husband, but I did not want to be taken to the cleaners if things did not work out. I told Mr. Riddick what I was trying to accomplish. He said would handle it. He told me I needed a post-nuptial agreement, but that they were far more difficult to get done than a prenuptial agreement. But he developed a strategy that he believed could get it done without damaging my marriage. He did the agreement. I followed his advice to the letter. About 2-3 months later, the post-nuptial was done effectively, and without damage to my marriage. In my estimation, getting that post-nuptial agreement done potentially saved me well more than $1,500,000.00. I feel so much better that this matter was taken care of. And Mr. Riddick treated me with considerable patience. He walked me through the process carefully. I highly recommend him. He does his work exceedingly well, beyond my expectations.

Brilliant Lawyer - Beautiful Personality

I came to see Mr. Riddick about a six figure property transaction just a few months ago. I had used another attorney in his firm years ago to handle another legal matter, and I was very satisfied. My new case involved a real estate investor trying to take advantage of me by forcing me to sell my in...terest in a property. The investor wanted to pay me less than fair value for my interest, and then wanted to make me pay for closing costs and a bunch of other expenses. When I refused the investors' offer, they sued me! I met with Mr. Riddick immediately, who simply said, "I'll take care of it, don't worry". Mr. Riddick answered their complaint, then sued them! Long story short. Several months later, they settled with me, before the case went to court, and paid me $50,000.00 more than they had originally offered, and I did not have to pay one dime in costs associated with that transaction. Great result! That man has skills!
