Amazing and best Attorney in Palm Beach County

Mrs. Ritchey is not only professional but what I have seen countless times is she has passion and heart for what she does. It is evident in the courtroom as she will defend her clients relentlessly and will always do what is in their best interest. She does not sugar coat, is honest and has a wealth ...of knowledge regarding case law. She will take time to listen and offer feedback. Mrs. Ritchey is very responsive with e-mail and phone calls. My case for the last year has centered around some parental alienation as well as issues with my child’s mother. In fact, most recently I was having difficulty obtaining my daughters passport for travel outside of the country. Her mother refused to provide it unless I signed a document agreeing that she will control the passport and other stipulations. Mrs. Ritchey immediately drew up a counter stipulation and in the end while nothing was signed by either party because of her counsel and support I was able to obtain the passport without further back and forth bickering. Mrs. Ritchey is also well respected by judges across the County. What I also have appreciated about Mrs. Ritchey is she really goes beyond the mark. She will fight and will always find the positive in your case regardless of the outcome. Her dedication to my case and to her profession sets the bar very high for others. I would recommend Mrs. Ritchey for your family court cases and I will also state Mrs. Ritchey is not the type of attorney that just seeks your money. In fact, if possible she tries to avoid the court room drama and does her best to try to settle things between opposing counsel out of court which in essence saves time and money. No one likes to go through long drawn out battles and she is aware of this. As stated above if needed she will and will fight. When needed she is aggressive. You can’t go wrong with Mrs. Ritchey.

Christen is a professional and sets reasonable expectations

After working with one lawyer who would say one thing, but do another, and work with opposing counsel without my knowledge, it is very refreshing to work with someone who is open and honest. She always set expectations and never pushed me to do something I didn't want, or react with emotion.

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.
