Client

Rick got the job done. He was direct and judicious with his approach. Also, he knows the system and how to work in favor of his client. I would most certainly retain his services if needed.

Aggressively and passionately fights for his client's rights

Mr. Chizever fights for your rights; even when you feel like giving up and "throwing in the towel." He is always available to take calls and assists his clients any time of the day. He is aggressive and will fight to the end to make sure his client's needs and rights are met. Importantly, since I h...ad minor children involved in my family law proceeding, he always kept the best interest of the children in mind. Going through a divorce and battling your ex over money and custody can be a very painful experience. Mr. Chizever put that pain at ease with his ability to approach the legal issue at hand from a knowledgable and experienced standpoint. I would NOT want Mr. Chizever to represent my ex! I want him fighting on my side of the ring.

Current client

Mr. Chizever has shown himself to be a very caring and intelligent attorney. He has the ability to aggressively handle issues that seem overwhelming to me and at the same time reassure me that my interests will be protected. He makes himself available to me at any time, even at night and weekends. Wh...at especially impresses me is his genuine and heartfelt concern for my son. He integrates that concern into his work so that everything that is important to me is prioritized.

Bad experience

I can not believe he is a licensed lawyer. Rude and inexperienced, constantly scolded by the judge for inadequacy with the court. He arrived at court without having analyzed my case. absolutely not recommended

Posted by anonymous | February 27, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Shockingly Unprofessional....

I retained "Rick" on the advice of a neighbor, but was forced to terminate the relationship in less than 30 days. My experience with Mr. Chizever was so negative, it is hard to believe he has a law license. Essentially, his rudeness, shocking lack of professionalism, and legal incompetence were inde...scribable. Accordingly, I have included some actual written dialog from him, which I have censored for profanity. I'll let you decide if this is an attorney you would hire. Me: ..."Want me to call you in half an hour?" Rick: "Yes. Spoke to attorney. This case is a cluster fu*k. Save ur $$$" Rick: "I am on my way to the shooting range right now. So I'm at a red light and read you stuff - you paid for my ammo tonight..." Rick: "We are in trouble. Go read the name of this law firm. I don't buy my clothes at Kmart and I don't like to deal with attorneys who do..."

Replied last February 27, 2018

In regards to the negative review above, the only unprofessional one is the previous client, himself. He did not want to pay for legal services rendered. So instead of just moving on, he embarks on a smear campaign. He even went so far as to blackmail me by saying he will take down the negative review if I refund all of the money he paid even though legal work was done on his behalf. I actually gave him a partial refund despite the fact that he was not entitled to one, but that was still not enough for him. No need to comment any further. For all my years in practice, I have had not ONE negative review until now. My law firm prides itself on being professional, fighting for our client's rights, and priding ourselves in attaining the best possible settlements for our clients. We have had no complaints or negative reviews so far and this law firm will continue to operate as we always have...passionately, aggressively, and most importantly, professionally.

"If there is one word to sum up Rick Chizever as an advocate it is passionate. His perseverance and dedication to his clients sets him apart from the typical family lawyer. Family law is a very demanding area, and the parties' emotions can often lead to unnecessary litigation. For Rick, it's all about doing the right thing, not fighting over trivial matters to satisfy a client's demands. If you are seeking representation, I wholeheartedly endorse Rick!"
