Top Notch RESULTS DRIVEN Attorney

Attorney Rice is Professional yet easy-going and Results Driven! My main concern was addressed and alleviated on my First Court Date and I'm truly at ease. This attorney is down to earth yet firmly confident and optimistic regarding settling parenting matters. She took into consideration both parents... concerns WITH EASE and is an Excellent mediator to say the very least. She's also compassionate and empathetic. She's The ONE for your Parenting Disputes. I was referred to her by a former Cook County States Attorney through a helpdesk that took the time to listen to my concerns. I was guided to her perfectly!

Pleasant and knowledgeable family attorney

Ashonta prepared my will and power of attorney documents. She walked through and explained each section thoroughly. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the process. I am not very fond of attorneys overall because they generally are not very quick to respond to you and attempt to run up... the time to rack up fees. Ashonta was not this way at all. She responded quickly and the entire process was handled professionally. I have since gone back to Ashonta for a premarital agreement. I will be contacting her again for updating my will and have just recommended her to my daughter. I recommend her highly for family matters.

Outstanding Attorney

It is extremely difficult to find an attorney these days who is as genuine, trustworthy, caring and professional as Ashonta Rice. I was allowed access to Ashonta above and beyond normal business hours and I sincerely appreciated being able to reach out to her when it was most convenient for me. A...shonta made sure to educate me on the child support legal process and she kept me informed about my case every step along the way. It is not often an attorney takes the time to educate you about the legal system. If I am ever in need of legal services, I would definitely seek the support and services of Ashonta Rice. It was truly refreshing to deal with a professional who was not concerned about adding unnecessary fees for the services provided. Ashonta was always fair and dedicated to providing the best possible service. Ashonta will be my attorney for life should I ever require legal services in the future and I would proudly recommend her to friends and family. An extremely satisfied client of 2 years

Ms. Rice is truly a good lawyer and a trustworthy human being. I would recommend her to anyone including my family.

When I first met Ms. Rice I immediately knew that she would be the one who would be able to help me with my case. We discussed my case on several occasions making sure all information was available before the court date. Ms. Rice understood my case and she knew exactly what to say while in court. M...s. Rice worked long hours helping me to stay calm every step of way. She assured me that everything would be alright. I truly appreciated what she did for me. I don't know if I could have gone to court if she was not there advising me alone the way. I have found that Ms. Rice is a kind, loving,and hard working individual. She's always been patient with me and she's a soft spoken individual which made it easier for me to communicate with her. I would recommend Ms. Rice to anyone (including my family) who's in need of a lawyer. If you're looking for someone who has a good heart then Ms. Rice is your lawyer.
