Amazing Woman

She is an extremely knowledgeable woman with a strong work ethic. These other reviews must be flukes, because she was the best lawyer I could have ever had.

Posted by anonymous | November 19, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

Extremely knowledgeable and professional!

Ms. Rice handled my divorce case which also involved custody and visitation of my children. I am a former military wife. Ms. Rice exhibited extreme knowledge concerning military retirement and other military benefits. She was aware of and prepared the special orders that were required to divide mi...litary retirement accounts. Ms. Rice and her staff were always responsive to my calls. Ms. Rice answered my numerous questions and gave me legal advice that was always accurate. I would recommend Ms. Rice as an excellent family lawyer. If I have any need for a family lawyer in the future, Ms. Rice will be my first call.
