A Step Above The Rest

Rocky Rinker and his team kept us well informed through the entire Partition Action process. Mike Harkins and Kris Osmon handled our case and did a phenomenal job. I highly recommend and would hire Rocky Rinker again.

Excellent, professional service

Mr. Rinker and his team were clear, quick, and efficient. After a quick consult with Mr. Rinker, I liked his professional manner and decided to take a chance. My experiences with attorneys in the area have been mostly negative, so I was pleasantly surprised with how everything went with this process.... Within a couple of months of contacting Mr. Rinker, my mortgage surplus case was resolved. He and his entire team were very professional and communicated with me very well (mainly Kris). There were some errors in the documentation provided by the court and the Rinker Team clarified, resubmitted, and changed it straight away - something I thought could take a long time. I highly recommend their services. Thanks, Mr. Rinker and Team!

Sometimes It's Not About The Money ....

After being 'turned down' by several well-known law firms as a result of THEIR determination that my case was a long-shot ..... The Law Office of Rocky Rinker took on my case AND WON! Sometimes, it's not about the money. Mostly, it's about setting things right! If you find yourself in need... of professional, highly experienced legal counsel, please give this firm a call. They did an amazing job for me, and I'm sure they can help you too.

  • 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.
