Rod ritner is a Bad lawyer

Rod Ritner handled my wife's malpractice case. I had few concerns as I felt he was getting so close to her throughout the process which made me very tense. She talked a lot about him as all times they spend together for depositions and hearings in court. He asked her to go for unncessary exam and ...made her very nervous by signning declaration and papers in order to get the money. She has not gotten any money but he created so much tension between us so far and dragged me into unncessary deposition for me as well to come. He is very greedy and mostly care about the money without explaining much to her, as she could not understand everything. I looked him up today and found him suspended in State of Minnesota. I just don't feel he is a good lawyer and I hope she hired a different one close to us. I will report him.

Don't waste your time with Mr. Ritner

Mr. Ritner was hired by a big firm to handle my malpractice claim more than a year ago. I am very frustrated about his incompetency and lack of proper and adequate communication. His approach towards me with very unprofessional which made myself and my boyfriend very uncomfortable. He has poor insi...ght and he did not communicate well enough so I ended up getting monetary sanctions from the court for non compliance with discovery process. He wasted so much time on my behalf for possible more monetary gain for himself as he works on contingency fee. I believe he could have negotiated settlement long time ago. Instead, he has made my life very difficult last year which was a disservice to me. This case dragged on with no successful outcome so far. I feel I am being coerced into trial with no guarantee for a better outcome. That makes my mind spin out of control. I will not give a positive feedback to his practice or to the large firm that referred him to handle my case.

Completely Ineffective

My wife and I hired Mr. Ritner among other attorneys for a medical malpractice and breach of contract case. His commuication with us was awkard and he was not very responsive. He did not spend enough time with our case and his representation was poor. I was told that he accepts almost any malpract...ice case even weak, unethical or frivalous cases that may not warrant legal actions or his time and efforts. He travels a lot out of State and was not readily available for us. We got monetary sanctions from court and that pissed my wife for not submitting discovery in time. Even though he acknowledged his responsibility for that, yet we suffered reputational harm to our case due to imposition of those sanctions. Our case was strong and had a lot of value but needed more attention from him which he did not provide to us.

Neither Capable nor compassionate

At first he appeared very close to me and willing to listen a lot. I started to like him a lot. I believed he was very friendly to me. However, through the past 4 months, he appeared as not trustworthy anymore. He handled my case in a careless way so far. I found him now as neither personable n...or compassionate. He did not inform me well and appeared as not dedicated to my case anymore. He rarely appeared in person to court hearings related to my matter and elected to let a young assoiate handle my case. I am a single mom with harsh circumstances around me and a nasty divorce case going on. I was kind of hoping to get money soon . My friend told me to report him for his carelessness and irresponsible actions and I might do that.

Poor Job

Rod was assigned to my case by this big firm after my first lawyer was relieved. He travels a lot and does not have time for me or my case. He did not keep me well informed or provide professional services. He is not forthright and did not help me mitigate the situation. There is a lot of tension... between me and my mom and family now and I am desperate for money which I thought he would get me soon. I am pissed at Rod and don't like him anymore
