5 Star Lawyer

If you want a law office that genuinely cares about you and will fight for you regardless of your background, Ritacca Law is the place for you. The Ritacca’s are the most honest and caring law group I’ve ever consulted with.

1. Stole $20,000 2. Failed to appear at nearly all court hearings. Instead, he has his son Robert Junior come in and fail repeatedly. I see why Robert Junior took several tries to pass the BAR exam. He's an idiot. 3. Took in excess of 12 months just to file a single motion to reduce my unconstitu...tional $1,000,000 bail on a 1st time non violent felony offense. That motion had zero legal arguments. No mention of the 8th Amendment, Illinois State Constitution, State Statutes, or Prevailing case law. In essence, my bail hearing was a sham. A first year law student would have received a "F" if they submitted such a motion or brief on behalf of a "client". 4. Failed to disclose conflicts of interest. 5. Refused and never filed a single motion to modify child support despite numerous and clear, significant changes of circumstances. 6. Refused to file any motions for me to speak with or see my children despite years of being kept apart. 7. Refused to file any contempt motions against my ex, Julia Patton who has abused our children through years of psychological and emotional abuse. 8. They talk a big game but they're going to protect their paychecks before they fight for you. 9. If they can sell you up the river in exchange for more favorable outcomes in other cases, they will. 10. They should be barred from ever setting foot in a courtroom on behalf of any person.

The Rittacca firm is not just brilliant in law, they are kind and concerned about people and their life. They are a powerful family team that makes you feel important and worth fighting for. We had a situation that seemed hopeless,yet not to them they treated us like family and went above and beyon...d to help get a very difficult situation rectified. We mow have joy back in our life as this family believed in us when we couldn't even believe in ourselves. There is no other law firm that comes close to the wisdom and intelligence of the Rittacca firm. If you want freedom and joy you must utilize the gifts and talents of this wonderful law firm.

Robert Rittacca Jr and family

My lawyer is amazing. The Rittacca family put not just their intelligence into my case they all put in their heart. They are sincere and direct. They did everything that they promised to do and more. Rest assured they are by far the best law firm and I can't thank them enough for caring so much ...about me.
