An Outstanding Attorney

Rick is an outstanding attorney with extremely high morals and integrity who works passionately for everyone he represents. He has represented me for several years and I have recommended him to numerous clients and friends because I have tremendous confidence in the work that he will do and the resul...ts he will achieve, which have always been superb. Many qualities differentiate Rick from other attorneys, but one that most fascinates me is his keen ability to accurately predict what the opposing side is going to say or do and to readily anticipate and prepare for any and all options. He seems to always stay two steps ahead of his adversaries. Rick has an expansive knowledge of the law in many areas and specialties. His advice is always spot-on. I highly recommend Rick to handle any legal matter that arises.

Rick Stotser along with the entire Massey, Stotser and Nichols firm are by far the epitome of character and integrity. To a person, from the attorneys, paralegals, assistants and even the back office associates, they are all a pleasure to work with and display the utmost professionalism. There is no ...doubt that recommending this attorney and the firm as a whole is always my pleasure to do.

Outstanding attorney in Birmingham

Have been a client of Rick's for about 5 years. In my dealings with him, I have found that Rick is not only a very knowledgeable attorney, but has also been super-responsive to my needs. He has a broad background in legal matters & in business, and uses it to a full extent to help his clients. It see...ms that Rick never sleeps and is always looking for ways to save me money, whether it is in reducing or eliminating exposure in a claim or structuring a deal in such a way as to save income taxes wherever possible. Always thinking and attentive, Rick is very impressive in his handling of all legal matters. He is great to have on your side, and I wouldn't like to think of being on an opposing side! Nothing but good things to say about Rick and his firm - an outstanding attorney who does his job with great integrity and professionalism.

One of the Best

Dealing with legal matters are never fun, but Mr. Stotser made me feel like everything was going to be okay. He's an absolute warrior for his clients. He's very knowledgeable, responsive and has an action plan. I've hired him for his legal services in a divorce case and a adoption process. He counsel...ed me through every step. Even when my poor decisions placed me in a bad position, Mr. Stotser's skills and knowledge helped me to get a favorable outcome. I highly recommend him for any legal situation. His firm and team are a class act and extremely the best in my opinion. If you're looking for legal counsel, he's definitely who I would recommend,. The only thing that would be bad about Mr. Stotser would be if he's representing the other side.
