Beware-Reviews are accurate and experience proves that

Hiring R Ridgely Rairigh Jr. to provide legal counsel was one of the worst decisions I've made. His lack of understanding results in consequences that are unforeseen and detrimental to your future. His lack of communication, and inability to complete simple tasks such as deliver court required do...cuments resulted in lost job opportunities. Lack of knowledge and understanding of Legal process: His lack of understanding of legal processes were shown when dealing with clerical admin professionals. His estimated time frame was 6-8 months, and the clerical admin. stated it was an average of 4-8 weeks for a simple paper work turn in and review. Due to his inability to complete a simple task, multiple jobs offers were rescinded. If I could find a lawyer who would take the case to sue for damages I would. Non Existent Communication: His communication is nonexistent. Several voice messages are required before you get a call or email back, and the response was generally a 1 or 2 word answer, and when asked to elaborate, would state, that's the way it is. Multiple emails would go unanswered, and if you listed more than one question in an email you would get an answer to only 1 of those questions. He failed to explained the complete implications of a misdemeanor plead bargain, and only after the paper work was signed did he provide answers. To much dismay there were consequences that were not disclosed prior to the plea. I would honestly say that if you have the opportunity to choose between R Ridgely Rairigh Jr. and ANY other option, I would pick the other option. I do not know how he is still licensed to practice law in the state of Georgia. He has a local reputation that will speak for itself as well, and would suggest you go to anyone else before consulting him.

Worse off Than when I Started

Represented me in a criminal case; it seemed pretty cut and dry, but getting in touch with him was next ton impossible, amd the few interactions I did have with him were hostile and he acted like I was wasting his time. I don't feel like he put in a lot of effort in my case, and I have since spoken ...to many attorneys that have all said that they thought the case was handled poorly, and were suprised at the outcome. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. Waste of money and potential freedom. Stay away!
