My wife's co-worker referred me to Mr. Riddick. Her co-worker told her that Mr. Riddick was thorough, thoughtful, and would get the job done. My case was very complex. I got divorced twenty years ago, and my former attorney DID NOT take care of the pension and retirement issues. So my pension an...d retirement grew substantially. My ex-wife then came back asking for a huge amount of money from both sources of my retirement, including money that I had earned in a government retirement savings plan. Without stating the amount, I will say it was quite substantial. My current wife and I met with Mr. Riddick, and after he explained his thoughts about how we should proceed, hired him the same day. It was clear that he understood the complexity of our case. My wife and I both felt totally comfortable with him, and he showed great compassion. I recall him even asking my wife would she stick by me through this situation. My wife said that she would. Because of the COVID pandemic, our case was delayed for almost two years in the court system. During that time, we attended an Alternative Dispute Resolution meeting, and reached what we thought was a great resolution to the case. Then my ex-wife tried to back out of the agreement. Mr. Riddick had to file a very complex motion to enforce the agreement, which had been oral. We actually had to have a difficult court hearing in the matter. After the trial, however, the court rendered a decision which ended the matter in our favor. As a result, I have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in my retirement accounts, and my current wife, if anything happens to me, will receive all of my retirement and survivor's benefits. My ex-wife no longer has any interest in any of my retirement benefits. This was a fabulous outcome. And my wife and I were treated so well during the process. Great legal work and great treatment as clients. I definitely recommend him.

I was referred to Mr. Riddick by someone who works in the courthouse. He told me that Mr. Riddick was really experienced in support matters. I had back child support due of more than $64,000.00, which went back more than 15 years. However, during that period of time I had become disabled, I was sh...ot years ago in the back. I am on disability. But the child support was still due. I live in Pennsylvania, and could not easily get down to D.C. So Mr. Riddick was asked to help me, and called me in Pennsylvania. I explained to him what was happening to me. He listened carefully, as I told him that I owed $64,000.00 in child support. After listening, Mr. Riddick told me he would help me. Over a period of several months, he communicated with me and we came up with a plan. Mr. Riddick then went with me to court. What happened amazed me. Mr. Riddick had several meetings and two court hearings on my case. At the end he got my child support reduced to $3,500.00, which I pay in monthly payments of $100.00, a figure I can easily afford. I am beyond happy with my result. When I left court to head back to Pennsylvania, I asked Mr. Riddick how much I owed him. He said, "Sir, your bill is zero, you owe me nothing, God Bless You". I just hugged him. What a wonderful man, and a great lawyer. His work changed my life.

I came to see Mr. Riddick about a divorce. A very dear friend and neighbor, who happens to also be an attorney, referred me to him. I was represented at the time by a capable attorney, but because of problematic communication, had apparently entered into a deal to sell the marital home and equally... divide the proceeds. My now ex-husband was a very experienced attorney himself, and I believe he pulled a fast one over on my lawyer. So I came to see Mr. Riddick, and carefully explained my circumstances. He asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted to keep my home, and not be forced to move out. I also told him that I did not think it fair that we equally divide the proceeds. He told me he needed to think about it for a day or so. I came back to see him, and he told me a couple of ways to get what I believed was fair. For the next year, the case was in court on various motions. Long story short, literally less than one (1) minute before the very last court hearing was to have begun, the case was settled. Here is what I got. I got to "keep" the marital home. And moreover, I saved well more than $100,000.00 in buying my ex-husband out. I am more than pleased. I am ecstatic. My result was exceptional. And at each juncture in the process, Mr. Riddick would bring me into his office, and carefully explain what he was trying to accomplish, and the risks and possible rewards of his strategy. Further, Mr. Riddick treated me with the utmost respect and tenderness. He did not talk down to me, and he encouraged my questions of his strategy and legal methods. He is a quite exceptional lawyer, and an exceptionally caring man.

I have known Mr. Riddick for nearly 25 years and he has represented either me or my family members on a number of occasions during that time. Mr. Riddick has been and is very professional and courteous in his representation of his clients. While no lawyer can guarantee a successful result, Mr. Riddi...ck will guarantee his clients that he will fight and give his best in his representation. Mr. Riddick is always timely in his compliance with court orders and for his clients, he timely returns their calls and keeps them informed about their case's status. i was particularly impressed with Mr. Riddick's settlement and negotiation skills. I regard Mr. Riddick as one of DC's best practitioners and would recommend him highly.
