Johnny M Riddick

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.

I was referred to Mr. Riddick by a relative, a cousin. Mr. Riddick had handled estate matters for my cousin's mother. My cousin spoke really highly of Mr. Riddick, and indicated that he was very experienced and charged reasonable fees. So I came to Mr. Riddick about an estate matter. My older bro...ther had died, and I needed assistance in handling his estate. Mr. Riddick agreed to handle the matter. Mr. Riddick filed for and handled the estate matter professionally, and the work was done in a very timely manner. Near the end, we learned that my brother left more debt than assets. So what do you think Mr. Riddick did? He shared with me that he had a younger brother who had recently passed, and in that same conversation, he decided to forgive his entire legal fee. He told me that since the estate did not have more assets than debts, it just did not make sense for me to have to pay anything other the costs to file the estate. Tell me a lawyer who would do all the work, and at the end not charge a legal fee? He is a really special kind of lawyer and different kind of man. I recommend him highly.

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.
