Ms. KELLY Jo Pett

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.

Legal representation provided by Mr. Robert Ritacca

Bob is a vicious pit bull for an attorney. The white version of Johnny Cochran. He is a powerhouse and YES! He's that damn good.Bob is well known, highly regarded and respected, and has a lot of pull/clout in the Lake County courts. He springs into action and is GREAT when it comes to representing pe...ople.He's compassionate, caring,flexible and understanding.Most of all he'll work with ANYBODY regardless of income. BUT..... You must keep it REAL with him about EVERYTHING pertaining to your situation. He's a champion in ALL courts in Illinois.He helped me when no other attorney in Waukegan would. I still owe him but Mr. Ritacca is under standing and he'll work with you.Just don't blow smoke up his as because Bob is too damn smart.I don't care WHAT type of case you have, Mr. Ritacca does NOT care! He doesn't judge anybody. He does the job he's hired to do, and gets the job done. I HIGHLY recommend Bob to ANY/EVERYBODY needing a good mouth piece in court.His wife is kind,caring,empathetic,understanding. His son is a HELL of a partner.He'll be just as GOOD as his pops.I urges EVERYONE to call and consult with Mr. Ritacca fir ALL your legal issues.

The best hands down

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.

"As Good As It Gets"

If you are looking for REAL TRUTH in the legal system, Mr. Ritacca is the man for the job. He had my SOS revocation/suspension issues dropped in court. At first I was skeptical, as I am with any attorney, but if you are up front with him and not hide anything, he is "hard core to the bone" and WILL ...FIGHT FOR YOU!!! Will be looking to speak with/hire him for my upcoming SOS Hearing for full reinstatement. Thank You Very Much
