I’ve only had to work with a lawyer for one experience in my life and everyday I'm thankful it was Attorney Rick Nicodemo. Not only does he know the law, but his care and concern for your case put's you at ease. He walked me through each step along the way until my case was resolved and was always available to answer my questions, no matter how dumb they were. I received the best possible outcome I could have ever had with my case and it was all due to this man!!!!
