Richard Anthony Rice Jr.

Potentially facing 30+ years jail time, I needed a top-notch criminal defense lawyer. Richard Rice was that man for me. He did some amazing negotiating on my behalf; the judge even commenting on Richard's performing "magic" in his negations in my case. He resolved my case with only light probation and no jail time. Richard also negotiated for all of my seized personal property to be returned to me from both federal and state agencies. Richard is a courtroom winner.

Very experienced and has abundant knowledge in his field. He got us out of the incorrect Federal accusation and we walked out clean. Unlike many other lawyers, he is very responsive and always stays on top of what he does. Definitely the best choice for what you need.

Richard Rice is one of the best criminal defense lawyers you can find in Georgia. Richard represented me during some of the most difficult years of my life when I faced federal felony charges. He was there for me every step of the way--from the arraignment, discussing our strategy, going over discovery and motions, and negotiating with the government. Most impressively, we were able to have the government initially withdraw their original indictment. Ultimately, although I decided not to go to trial, Richard was ready to fight the matter all the way. After much soul searching, I ended up pleading to a single misdemeanor count, resulting only in probation and a relatively low fine, with NO jail time. Richard discusses all your options intelligently, and he works diligently to meet all deadlines and provides transparency about the process, assessment of the risks and potential outcomes. Richard's past tenure as a former Assistant US Attorney was invaluable--the connections he has to speak with the government, the court, and the probation officers are critical to effective representation. But Richard isn't only just an excellent lawyer--he was compassionate and had great empathy, reaching out to comfort me during the agonizing decisions that had to be made. His services are worth EVERY penny, should you ever be so unlucky to undergo the terrible ordeal of criminal prosecution. He has my highest recommendation.

I was referred to Mr. Rice by the managing partner of one of the largest law firms in the United States. Mr. Rice not only quickly and easily extracted my family from a dire situation that could have become catastrophic, but he also assisted us in a variety of legal matters, both domestic and international. I can’t think of a more skillful attorney, and I, personally, do not engage in any legal matter prior to consulting him. He is the best of the best and will always find an answer to any legal situation confronting you. Simply put, he is the MacGyver of attorneys and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

I hired Richard Rice to defend me on a wrongful claim against me. Unlike most lawyers he did exactly what he set out to do and completely vindicated me. I would strongly recommend him to anyone. He is honest and kept his word!

Mr. Rice is an excellent attorney. I hired him to handle some very serious federal criminal charges that I was facing and was looking at a 15 year mandatory minimum sentence. He was able through negotiations with the prosecutor to get me a plea deal that was better than I could've imagined. At sentencing he was also able to get the judge to vary downward for an additional year off of my sentence. He was always available to answer any questions that I had and is very professional. If you're faced with serious criminal charges and are unsure of which attorney to hire, don't live with years of regret and give Mr. Rice a call today!

I was referred to Richard by a business friend. We hired his firm to help us with preparing a new operating agreement in a complicated business matter with the heirs of a deceased partner. Richard was very professional and quick in preparing the document that all parties agreed to. He made my life a lot easier with his professionalism and knowledge. Would definitely use him in the future and recommend him to others.

Richard assisted me with a deposition matter and did a great job. He helped me to understand the specific risks and best processes in a manner that was clear and easy to understand. I'd highly recommend his services.

Richard has represented our family on two occasions. He was sharp and aggressive. We were very happy with both results. I would recommend him to anyone.
