Ernest Alfred Ricci

I hired, as Successor Trustee, Attorney Ricci to resolve a Family Trust Lawsuit filed in Florida. I am a Massachusetts resident and not a lawyer, but Trustee of my father's Florida Trust. The suit was filed in Florida by my siblings claiming they wanted more control in the workings of the trust. Ever...ybody wants to be in charge! I hired Attorney Ricci over the phone and worked with him for 18 months seeking resolution to the lawsuit. You will find him to be a good communicator, as he listened and then offered suggestions to get me on track with the legal theory and requirements of the case. He was always timely in the submissions of our legal documents. He also told me not to worry about next steps of "what if this or that", just let the case unfold as it will. Timely responses, as required, a lawyer that listen and good emotional support, everything you need in an attorney. The case resolved in mediation, as required under Florida law, before trail. Mediation is a process of giving. General Grant was task with giving a just peace at Appomattox, giving can sometimes heal the parties, sometimes no so much. Attorney Ricci is a great attorney to work with, both in interpersonal relationships and practice of the law in seeking resolution of the lawsuit.

I am forever indebted to Ernest Ricci for his drive and determination to help my family in a lawsuit that was tearing us apart financially and emotionally. He recognized this distress and made the final push to counsel, persist and finish a trying time for all of us. He was able to listen and "talk u...s off the ledge", make recommendations and follow through to the finish line of a three year ordeal. I recommend him highly for his intelligence, intuitiveness, calm demeanor and follow through.
