Excellent & Thorough Representation

Richard (Dick) Rice represented me on two cases involving my former employer in Madison, WI. He was often my voice of rationale and helped me feel confident that what I was experiencing was in fact discrimination and I was not imagining things. He also helped me process through the various feelings... and insecurities that accompany discrimination in the workplace. He was very attentive to every document we presented to support my legal position and made himself available to me via email and phone over the course of the entire process which lasted more than one year in each case. I felt extremely supported by Dick throughout both processes and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to represent any person. As a Black woman it was a relief to have my experience validated by Dick he was and is a true ally. I was able to obtain a satisfactory settlement with both of my cases and I am not sure I would have had the same success with another attorney. As I said before I worked with him twice and I hope I don't encounter another situation where I need him but if I did I would certainly use him again. I have since recommended him on multiple occasions and will continue to do so.

100% Satisfied!

A lawyer friend recommended Mr. Rice's firm to me, and when I contacted them Richard called me within hours. After an initial consultation, I hired Richard to represent me and I'm thrilled that I did! I had never needed a lawyer before and so was very grateful that he thoroughly and patiently expla...ined the process, including potential benefits and pitfalls. Over the 2 years that my complaint was pending, Richard ALWAYS responded to my calls and emails quickly, whether it was late at night, early in the morning, or on the weekend. I quickly came to realize that Richard's years of experience had taught him well and his advice and counsel were spot-on. We eventually were able to secure a nice settlement from my ex-employer, and everything that Richard promised in our initial consultation he delivered upon in the end. Honest, thorough, and blunt to a fault, Richard cuts through the process with unerring skill and wise counsel. I couldn't be happier with Mr. Rice and his firm, and I give him my highest recommendation!

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.
