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.

Johnny Riddick Review 2014

At first Johnny did all the right things to give me the impression that he could best represent me in court so that I could continue to see my daughter and raise her to be productive in our society. Instead of representing my interest, Johnny first found out that I had a good job and could afford t...o pay him. He allowed my 13 year old daughter to go on the witness stand. This has turned out to be disastrous for my daughter because she is now realizing that it was a bad idea. Her mother didn't care, however I expected Johnny - giving his years of experiences not to allow this. Then Johnny started telling me that he will pray for me. I needed an attorney to represent me in court so that I could continue to see me daughter even though my wife wanted out of the marriage. My wife took advantage of me and my now-ex-wife took advantage of me. I needed a good attorney that knows the laws and how to represent me. One of the things that he does is not to give you a copy of the legal documents so that he can get more money out of you. Telling me that you will pray for me, mean while my ex-wife is killing me in court and she is representing herself and she is not an attorney.

He does what he wants to do and not what you asked him to do. His focus is money.

Johnny is primarily focused on keeping the case open so that he can make more money and not address the critical issues with the case. He has frequently said, " I will Pray For You". When what you are paying for is Legal Representation based upon the facts. He will drag the case out to make the... most possible money.
