I was referred to Mr. Riddick by another lawyer. The lawyer told me that Mr. Riddick was a great attorney. My matter involved gaining more access to my only child, a son. My son's mother wanted sole custody and for me to have much less visitation. I explained the situation to Mr. Riddick, and... he gave me his thoughts and advice on how best to proceed. Mr. Riddick talked to me in a way that made sense, and it was clear that we was quite experienced. The case took a little less than a year to conclude, but was just resolved favorably for me. Instead of my child's mother getting sole custody, I kept joint custody and got almost double the time I had been getting. For sure, I got a great result. But I received more than good legal advice. Mr. Riddick encouraged me in other areas of my life, including pushing me to purchase a home, which I am preparing to do, and maintaining a proper relationship with my son's mother, who can be a very difficult person. I feel like I have really grown as a young man while the case was pending. The case is now over. And Mr. Riddick treated me really well. He is a terrific lawyer.

As a father, and full time physician, I was desperately seeking custody of my son. I had tried two other attorneys before a fellow church member recommended Atty. Riddick. Over the past 5 years he has advised, guided or assisted me through the maze of the DC family court system. He has done everyt...hing from providing legal advice to full representation; never once has he seen his role as too small to be important. His input has always been concise and valuable. Because of his efforts, on my behalf, I have shared custody and decision making authority with my son. I am indebted to him for helping to make possible the father/son relationship my son and I share. I recommend Atty. Johnny Riddick without reservation.

Johnny Riddick, armed with his in-depth expertise in DC divorce law and the support of his caring legal team, engineered a positive outcome to my divorce case. Mr. Riddick’s strategy began by developing an intimate understanding of the complex reasons I was seeking a divorce. His caring and kind appr...oach bolstered my decision to retain his services. Then, over the course of almost a year, he delved into the annals of DC divorce cases to fight valiantly on my behalf and protect my rights as a spouse, and more importantly, a mother, during the proceedings. His dedication spared me from what could have been a protracted and even more painful experience. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him.

I was referred to Mr. Riddick by the D.C. Fire Department, I am a Firefighter of many years. My case involved custody of my 9 year old son. His mother and I were not married. His mother wanted to restrict my visitation to every other weekend, and she did not want me to have the right to share in d...ecision making. She also wanted to make me pay an obscene amount of monthly child support, and she wanted almost $50,000.00 in retroactive child support. I retained Mr. Riddick after my first visit with him . I felt confident that he knew what he was doing, and that he cared about my situation. My son's mother strung the case out for almost two years, because she was determined to be in control. We actually met, with both our attorneys, and settled most of the issues in the case. However, after the meeting my son's mother denied that we had ever come to an agreement. So we had to have a 3 day trial. Long story short. After the trial, I was granted twice the visitation that my son's mother wanted me to have, awarded joint custody, I pay more than $500.00 LESS in monthly child support than she was seeking, I saved more than $30,000 in retroactive child support, and I was allowed to pay retroactive in $100 monthly installments. In other words I got a wonderful result. I owe that man big time.
