However, as the result of his background in the personal injury arena predating his becoming a licensed attorney, he actually has closer to 20 years of real world legal experience. Justin is personable, hard-working and demonstrates loyalty to his clients well-beyond that which is required or expected of attorneys. He's well-liked, well-traveled, and brings a wealth of experience to any legal matter; be it family law, personal injury and/or criminal defense. I recommend him without reservation."
"Attorney Rickman is a remarkable litigator and honest man. I give him an excellent endorsement. Justin is one of those lawyers who seems to excel in all aspects of the law. Some lawyers just have a natural ability to succeed in court and Justin is one. He is truly gifted with intelligence, confidence, and effective persuasion skills. You can't go wrong hiring Justin for any type of case (especially Personal Injury case, Family Law, and Criminal matters) because the judges really listen and respect him."
