This is my first time in my life needing a lawyer of any kind! Scared to death, facing false accusations and the possibilities of me losing my children I was petrified and had NO IDEA what to do. I was referred to Rick by a close friend, first was my injunction hearing I needed taken care of immediat...ely in order to still see my kids. He could have easily taken my money and the case (like most lawyers would) HOWEVER, unlike any lawyer I've ever heard of says to me " your criminal case we can take no problem, however with this Injunction its more family related and I know a family attorney that will be great for this case. He turned down thousands of dollars In order for me to be represented the best way possible for my kids! The lawyer he recommended was absolutely amazing as well and won my case! Rick always takes the time to answer my questions and lets me know what's going on with my case! I pray I never need another lawyer but IF I do or I know someone who does Rick will be the only one I ever recommend!

I was charged with a gun offense that carried a 3 year minimum mandatory prison sentence if convicted. A lawyer friend of mine referred me to Richard Canina's office. Hiring him was the best decision that I ever made. The amount of time, effort, and attention to detail that Rick and his son put into... my case was incredible, and it showed in their work and in the result they got me. They were always available to answer my questions and meet with me whenever i needed. Rick and everybody in his firm were extremely pleasant to work with. After about a year of going to court, taking depositions, filing motions, and meeting with the prosecutor, Rick was able to get me probation and kept me from being a convicted felon. Just recently, he got me off of probation early (and didn't charge for it). He saved my life and kept my family together.

I consulted with Mr. Canina and he clearly explained my legal situation and how he could help me. Once I retained his services he clearly explained to me what he would be attempting to get me released without prison time. At court he was on time and again clearly explained to me the results. After... two court appearances he was able to get me Pretrial Diversion. The best result I could hope for. The entire time I was suffering from Depression and Anxiety. My brain was clouded and I was having trouble comprehending everything Mr. Canina was telling me. He patiently worked with me and often had to explain things to me several times.

Rick Canina is extremely knowledgeable and has vast array of experience. Most honest, hardworking, caring and compassionate lawyer. He handled my case impeccably and kept me up to day the entire time. Very knowledgeable & personable secretary, as well, and she is a worker who was also very pleasan...t to work with. Mr. Canina always made time for me, my questions, my case...period. THE BEST!
