Posted by Edward | December 15, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Professional, Personable, and Reasonable

Mr. Ritter handled my case last year and let me know exactly what was going on every step of the way. He worked out strategies with me that we used during trial and I was really pleased with the outcome. I felt like he handled my case better than my original attorney ever did - Mr. Ritter is a good l...istener and really paid attention to the details of what I needed to achieve. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs a competent attorney.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Ritter has a diverse practice and I have worked with him and as opposing counsel on a number of matters. He is a great advocate for his clients. Most importantly, he has always carried himself as a professional and treats people with respect. Being a lawyer does not always endear you to people, but Mr. Ritter is a good model for being an ethical and effective advocate."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
