Absolutely recommend

William Rideg went absolutely above and beyond for me. I requested an employment contract review and he was professional and very prompt with his reply, allowing me to respond to my employer quickly. He eased my stress and provided explanations that were clear and easy to understand. I will certainly... reach out to him with any legal questions or concerns in the future, and I highly recommend to others!

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Bill Rideg because of his expertise in employment law, knowledge of community and state, and his strong communication skills. During the many months he provided us with legal counsel, he was always timely, thoughtful, committed and trustworthy. Thanks to his counsel, our case was ...resolved satisfactorily and in a timely manner.

Business Start Up

I hired Mr. Rideg to help with the start-up of my business in Missoula, MT. He clearly explained differing business structures, the advantages and disadvantages involved, and drafted the paperwork to establish my business. He was, and remains available for my questions regarding future growth and how... to oversee my employees, and all the facets of my new enterprise. I would recommend him for helping start a new business or any employee-employer related issues.

Rip off

Still works in the prosecutors office from the advice he gives. Took my fee with the clear understanding that he would take the case to trial. After two months of doing almost nothing he said he couldn't take it to trial. His two months took precious time from pursuing justice. I had 17 misdemeanor ...charges (16 Privacy in Communications). He said that they were all legitimate charges. After he told me he could not take the case to trial I got a different attorney. Within two weeks that attorney had them dismissed - for lack of probable cause at that. I can't recommend him for anything more than a plea bargain. Those who have given him 5 star reviews had simple cases that he often took for free or very little.

Montana Employment Law

Mr Rideg provided experienced, professional counsel on an employment issue for a non-profit organization. He thoroughly understood both the law and the employment related issues in question. He provided appropriate and clear guidance that allowed the organization to move forward, towards resolution.... We highly recommend Mr. Rideg.

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.
