Richard F. Rice

This guy intentionally set me up to fail in favor of employers who he gave me legal advice to file complaints against by providing worthless information to the organization that investigated my claims. Given the worthless information he provided the organization as support for my claims, it is quite ...obvious he intended to make sure I did not win the case. After giving me advice to file a second complaint against another employer, he walked away from the matter as if he had no obligation to represent me. Although there is much more to say about what actually happened and how it happened, I am still fighting to get the Office of Lawyer Regulation to show some kind of integrity by pursuing a proper investigation to bring this guy to justice for all the wrongdoings he committed. His only purpose in taking my case was to make sure I failed. Without realizing it until it was way too late, I actually paid him to set me up to fail. Evidentiary materials in form of emails and other documents I presented to the Ofice of Lawyer Regulations clearly shows or prove my point to be factual. Unfortunately, living in a racist and corrupt city like Madison makes it quite hard for clear and concise evidence to prevail against a culprit who is looked upon as being a so called "well respected civil rights lawyer." ONLY IF PEOPLE REALLY KNEW!!!! From my understanding, this guy has been selfishly manipulating the law and his clients "for the longest" now. Its too bad to see that people like him have the great ability to use and abuse others the way he does without remorse. Worst yet, he utilizes valuable resources that is supposed to be in favor of the victim to help him cover up his illegal actions. Birds of a feature clearly flock together!! So far, it has been at least eight long years of dealing with total dishonesty and corruption of the system by those who have decided to take it upon themselves to make matters much more convenient for the wrongdoers regardless of the amount of clear, compelling, and concise evidence presented. These type actions of protecting the wrong must end some way somehow regardless of some people's racist ways or their intent to exploit their racism towards those they do not like. In due time, I plan to expose everything he did, how he did it, who he used during the process, and why he did what he did, etc. Besides, people have the right to know all about lawyers like him who is arrogantly disrespecrful towards some of his clients, the law, and the court(s). It must be nice to have the ability to utilize the resources of an organization that was established to discipline lawyers like himself who violate and disrespect the laws and rules without facing consequences for his actions. There is plenty of palpable and compelling information to be shared which points directly to who this guy really is. The problem is that none of the evidence is being taken seriously, reviewed impartially or objectively according to procedures or the law. I have many distasteful, but truthful words to describe this individual, those who are protecting him, and the law firm he works for. Please DO NOT be misled by the profession and phony or elevated Internet ratings. This guy is really bad news for some people. Most disturbing is the fact he is being very well protected by those who manipulate the system in ways to make sure he is shielded from any prosecution or disciplinary actions. I have total proof of my claims against him. The main problem is my inability to find an attorney who is willing to challenge him, his sleazy firm, and the Office of Lawyer Regulation. Once the evidence is presented and reviewed objectively and impartially as it should, it will become much more clear as to who and what he really is. Regardless of the fact he is being protected by the organization that was established to discipline him for his wrongdoings, his actions of committing fraud on the court will provide me the time I need.

Mr. Rice represented me in a labor issue. As a state employee, it is daunting to take on the Department of Administration. Our case went all the way to the WERC (WI Employee Relations Commission). We won our case and the state had to pay my legal fees and my discipline was reversed and removed from ...my personnel file. Very quick to reply to my queries, and he listened to what I had to say. I don't care much for attorneys in general, but Richard is a winner.

Mr. Rice first provided legal representation for me approximately 25 years ago. He went to great lengths to resolve my case with the best possible outcome. He provided honest and thorough communication, assuring that I understood each step of the process. Since our initial encounter, I have sough...t out his counsel with other legal questions and received prompt information. I have sent other colleagues to him with confidence as they also felt he served them well. He is personable and easy to talk with. At times, when Mr, Rice has had to deliver disappointing new, he does so with kindness and respect. He has my highest recommendation.

Richard Rice has served as my attorney since 2014. More importantly than being an excellent attorney, Richard is a principled man with high morals. He helped me with a separation severance agreement and through his hard work and diligence was able to secure a much lengthier severance agreement. I hav...e hired him again and he is currently helping me with a situation that is a carryover from that separation agreement. He is determined to right this particular wrong! Richard has been very responses to every phone call, text or email, a trait that is difficult to find in attorneys. Richard has taken the time to get to know me personally and that has been appreciated. He has offered advice and assistance that I know he could have charged me for, but he did not. He is honest and will tell you how it is. Why would you want an attorney that is anything but honest? He is not going to adjust his level of honesty about your situation based on your ability to handle it. this is important, because too many attorney's out there may get you involved in something you can't win. I have referred 2 other friends to Richard and he has taken time out of his busy day to assist them. I would recommend Richard Rice to anyone looking for an excellent attorney!
