This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Rick is a Trustworthy and Knowledgeable Attorney

I have worked on legal matters with Rick and always value his knowledge and expertise. Rick is dedicated to his clients and always willing to lend a helping hand to others. A good person and an excellent attorney.

An unpleasant event with a great conclusion

My wife was shopping ,was in good mental health and reasonably good physical health, when all of a sudden, she was on her back unable to get up. She sustained a concussion that gave her brain bleed that has affected not only her short term memory but a good deal of her long term memory. In order to s...eek compensation for our loss I began to seek a good lawyer. One that had a had a good standing with judges. I asked my neighbor, who worked for a judge, for a recommendation. He in turn asked the circuit judge who in turn recommended Mr. Kolodinsky. This was one of the few smart things I have done in my life. Mr.Kolodinsky always was very courteous as was his office and always had time to explain things to me. I am satisfied that I had as good and speedy a conclusion as could be expected

Highly Recommend Rick Kolodinsky

I have for years referred complicated personal injury cases, including medical malpractice to Rick Kolodinsky. When I was injured in an accident and my UM carrier made a "low ball" offer, I retained Rick, who filed suit and got me an excellent recovery. In addition to his professional success, Rick... is a great guy who is easy to talk to about may subjects.

My experience with Rick Kolodinsky

I was recommended to Mr. Kolodinsky to resolve a case. While I live in New York and the case needed to be addressed in Florida, Mr. Kolodinsky represented himself in a very professional manner. I have never met him but only interacted via telephone and e-mail. My experience was excellent not knowi...ng who he was or how he handled himself and my situation. I must say, it was very satisfying and hope others can make an educated choice that will result in the same experience.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
