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 t...he 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.

Bridget

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....

Posted by anonymous | March 21, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Knowledgeable

Very knowledgeable about his field of law, but after 5 years I was put out of my chapter 13 trustee stated that my plan was not feasible, so i was put out at the last month of the plan. And now the IRS has contacted me demanding $10,000. Now what i have learned is that my lawyer knew that all of this... was going to take place, not to mention my lawyers Secretary would speak to me like i had a Crack Pipe in my pocket. So in closing yes WR is very knowledgeable but Do not expect a successful ending I hope i was not to harsh, but i was honest

Great lawyer

Well I think Will did a fabulous job with my personal situation that I had I could not have asked for a better lawyer. Yes I would highly recommend him

Posted by Corlett | July 27, 2015 | Administrative Law

Abandoned just when my case was to go to court after a year JUNE 2015

My case is a Judicial Review. I was informed by William Ridings 4weeks before the court date that he wanted to withdraw. I was forced to try and find new legal counsel which I was unable to get. Mr. Riding explained to me that he might not be getting and money if I win my case and my case will be d...ismissed. My Ridings never called informing about what he could do to help my case. I stated could you file a motion informing the court that a time line to transcribe a hearing proceeding and exchange brief between attys was not being followed by the civil service commission of st loius as ordered by the Judge. This was not done on my behalf I was giving a reason: No! I am not going to do that. But mostly he would just hang up on me. Very Rude and Unprofessional man. I informed atty Ridings that I got his profile off of a PRO BONO seeking lawyer website. No money! NO respect! POOR service! MONEY Highly Respected! Excellent Service! N0 I would not recommend this atty His lack of empathy and doing good research for me as his client is devastating

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
