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...

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.

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

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...

Replied last February 27, 2018In 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.
