Robert P. Ritacca

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.

He is very direct with you, he has a lot of pull within the lake county court house, when i was in booking at the lake county jail i overheard the officers saying he wont be here long he has ritacca, at that point i felt so good about him. After it was all said and done i walked away not guilty of th...e charges against me thanks to this man. He is absolutely wonderful. This was in early 2000 so its been awhile but usually people get better and better as time goes on.

Bob has been my criminal defense attorney for several years now. Over the years, I have become pretty close to him. He is the BEST lawyer I know and a good man in general. He is extremely knowledgeable and very intelligent. He will do whatever it takes in order to keep you out of jail. He never ...gives up on you and truly cares about your life and future. He is always on top of everything. He keeps you informed and always follows up with you. Keep it real with him and be honest and he will do what it takes to take care of you. I highly recommend this lawyer... he is #1!!!
