Attorney for your needs

Rick was great straight from the first time we spoke. His consultation immediately gave me the confidence to retain his services for the DUI charges that I was facing and his fees were reasonable and fair. He was professional, knowledgeable, and timely keeping me informed throughout the entire proces...s. He was able to walk me through the possible outcomes and explain them in terms that I could understand. He was well versed with Pinellis county courts. I was able to get the best possible outcome for my situation and met my goals for my final outcome. I highly recommend Fletcher and Fletcher should you find you need an attorney.

Helped win my case

I’d rather keep my case private but in short, it should have never been brought against me. We came up with a plan, Rick executed and we got the desired outcome.

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.
