R Ridgely Rairigh Jr.

I hired Ridge Rairigh to represent my children's best interest and my safety as well. I sold my only transportation to hire Mr. Rairigh and was driving a borrowed car that kept breaking down on me. For nothing.... I would've had better luck defending myself against my ex and his attorney. I had a... one year stalking order in place against my ex-husband and came to Ridge to hopefully extend the order. He came to mediation so unprepared that he was having to get info and figures from my ex-husbands attorney. Ridge suggested that my ex should pick our children up from my house on Friday and that I pick them up from his house on Sunday. REALLY!!!! My ex is not someone that I want around my house after all the things he has said and done to me. There was a reason the stalking order was put into place to begin with. I asked Mr. Rairigh to get copies of my ex's W2's and pay stubs during the discovery and other things as well. Mr. Rairigh replied with " I can even get you his bank statements if you want them". I said that would be great. I want everything. It was just three months after our divorce that my ex's brother broke into the house and committed suicide, within a few months foreclosure paperwork started coming and the kids and I lost everything. But by the grace of GOD... I wasn't giving up and I refused to let my kids give up. We picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves off and started over. Never once asked for a handout or a hand up. I purchased us a new home with no help and I didn't borrow one dime from anyone. I had three sets of eyes looking at me for direction. I want them to grow up to be a positive part of society, I have tried to lead by example. My kids have suffered enough. It's time that the ex stands up to the plate. After all that had happened Mr. Rairigh had the gall to show up in Mediation with nothing! When I asked him where is the discovery on my case? He stated " I did not do any discovery". When I asked why didn't he do any discovery?? His response to me was " I didn't have too". Now my children and are suffering as well because of it! I'm a single mom with three kids. I strongly do NOT recommend hiring Ridge Rairigh.
