Great at what he does
I hired William Riding back in 2015 to help me with my overwhelming debts and he walked me through the process, explaining everything to me so I knew what would happen next. Getting a lawyer was definitely one of the best decisions I made to get myself in a better financial situation. I appreciate Mr. Riding and his hard work!

Great job
These guys are amaizing. Going through a bankruptcy is definitely not an easy process. Will and Christine were there every step of the way to make sure I had what I needed

A great experience
In January I contacted and visited Mr. Ridings regarding a problem to do with keeping my home of 38 years. I was devastated but Mr. Riding assured me he would be able to assist me in making my problem palatable. He worked with me, went to court with me, represented me and made the whole experience the best it could be. He and Christy put my mind at ease. I thank him and Christy for all they did and do and will be very happy to work with them at any time.

Great attorney review
Christy and Will are very nice and worked in our case promptly and I enjoyed working with them. They were very informative and even though it's been 2 years since my bankruptcy when I called and had questions Christy was willing to assist.

Attorney William and Kristy are the best!!!!
The time came in my life where I needed help and advised, I called Attorney William and he took time out of his busy day to meet with me. By the time I left there I was so relieved and was assured things would be taken care of. He is a word of truth. There were times I needed to call the office and talked to Kristy, I still here her say It is all going to be alright don't worry about it, I will take care of it. She is so sweet and so helpful. I would not of made this 4 year process without them.. Hats off to the both of you.

Will and Kristy are awesome!
I have hired Will numerous times and each time his services have been extremely professional. His secretary, Kristy, is truly an asset to his law firm. She's always helpful, professional and goes out of her way to make sure everything goes smoothly. I would highly recommend Will and Kristy!

I am very happy with Will and Christy. I get calls from Christy well in advance of any court appearances and always get updates about anything new happening. I feel comfortable calling with any questions and I am put at ease immediately. I am glad I chose to hire Ridings Law Firm for my bankruptcy.

Appreciated
No one likes to have to visit a bankruptcy lawyer. I went to my appointment feeling sad and ashamed. With Will and Kristy, there's no judgement. Just quick, efficient help to get out of a bad hole and start over. I'm grateful for their kindness and Kristys many phone calls with reminders to stay on track. MANY THANKS!

Bankruptcy chapter 7
Mr. Riding is a great lawyer, down to earth, prompt, and knows how to get the job done fast! He is so informational on the bankruptcy laws things that I never even knew. I've never had good credit in my life but with his help I'm sure I will have a 700 score in no time.

Bankruptcy Help
William and his assistant Kristy are absolutely wonderful! I had to convert my chapter 13 to a chapter 7 because of my ongoing divorce and they helped me every step of the way. No one wants to be in this situation, but these people made me feel like I was doing the right thing for me. I really appreciated all of their help and advice and their quicky responses to all my needs.

A RAVE REVIEW!!!
I WAS REFERRED TO ATTY. RIDING BY MY OWN LAWYER BECAUSE HE WAS UNAVAILABLE TO GO TO COURT WITH ME. HE GAVE ME SOUND ADVICE AND WAS WITH ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. HE IS AN EXCELLENT LAWYER AND I WILL RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYBODY I KNOW!
Posted by John | August 19, 2014
Thanks Will, Your Professional Service Is Much Appreciated-And Support Staff Too!
Mr. Riding's site alone is a bonus!-(even more excellent help offered freely to any one)-so, having had meetings with him and his very well qualified staff in the course of the fine work performed,I can enthusiastically recommend his services to anyone and all. Will is a consummate professional in every way that matters to a client-caring,thoughtful and able to advise wisely. Plus,he smiles easily,laughs often, and always inspires confidence during what can be a difficult time....You would do well to consider hiring Will.

NOT GOOD SERVICE
I went in to discuss a legal matter. He just listened and gave little feed back. I asked the price and he gave me the price and payment options. He had know presentation of his services and answered only the questions that I asked. I gave him a payment and contacted him twice. He never once contacted me. Since then I've decided to stop legal proceedings. I asked for a refund and he said NO. In the consultation he explained nothing would be done until he was paid in full. Nothing was signed and I wasn't told up front no refund. Another lesson to learn and pass on.
