Phenomenal........

Mr Rice has represented myself and my wife and throughout the whole process conducted himself as a professional at all times. We could call and talk directly to him probably 90% of the time. The case results were above and beyond what we expected as Richard and Mike Fox fought our case while keeping ...my wife and my interests and her physical condition in mind.... Thx Richard You’re a Super Lawyer in our book.....

Definitely Recommend-No Nonsense

Choosing Fox & Fox, S.C. Firm and specifically Richard Rice for my case was the best decision I could have made. My career, my future and the security of a family were all turned upside down by the actions of a trusted employer. I was blindsided, unfamiliar with my rights and worried about the corpor...ate intimation I knew would follow should I take a stand. Richard helped me with in every aspect of my case. Mr. Rice is an excellent skillful caring lawyer, from the very start, he was upfront and realistic regarding the situation and expectations. Richard truly went above and beyond in handling my claim. He diligently explained every situation in detail to me and answered all of my questions. I strongly recommend that anyone who would find themselves in an Employee Rights legal situation to contact Richard Rice for a consultation. Thank you again, I shall forever be in your debt.

A man of his word and worthy of his title

Amazing Experience. A Law Firm that lives its values and cares about their clients. Terrified and teary I stumbled blindly into Attorney Rices’ law firm after long having been on the receiving end of abuse at the hands of my former employer. I had written down Fox & Fox almost a year prior as a forme...r co worker had mentioned his law firm’s name and good reputation. I stashed the number away never thinking I would need to use it. The thought of attorneys in general just hit a sour note with me. I just pictured ambulance chasers, the “one free consultation meeting” fees for every little thing. Let me tell you my fears were allayed. I was greeted warmly by the woman at the front desk and Attorney Rice came right out of his office to meet with me not knowing who I was and having no stake in my claim despite clearly seeing I was in distress. He could have just as easily told the lady at the front desk that he was busy but he didn’t and he sat me down and asked me easy to digest questions and he was very firm and had an air of trustworthiness about him right away. Based on my claims he provided me with incredibly clear and concise instructions as to how to proceed and it further instilled confidence in me that this man did not once mention fees or contracts or anything financial he truly put me, a total stranger first. I followed through on his basic requests and we kept in touch and let me tell you he is a terrific communicator, prompt and honest responses; he is not the type to just tell me what I wanted to hear and that was refreshing. We met again in person and after actually interviewing me and patiently reviewing my documents he agreed to take the case. Long story short is that both he and his firm had the utmost professionalism, integrity, compassion, perseverance, innovation and good judgement. As you may have already surmised, we were able to both make and resolve that case with great success and not once did I worry he would abandon or take advantage of my situation. I highly recommend Attorney Rice and Fox & Fox!
