This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

EXPERT ATTORNEY! BEST DECISION EVER.

We found Rick through the Wealth Counsel as we were looking for an expert in estate planning. Rick had been exactly that! We have been through one of the most complex and difficult probates and Rick has been there every step of the way with guidance and direction. He has been a part of this journey a...nd has been a rock throughout the process. He knows the ins and outs of estate law and the legal system. He truly has our best interests at heart and has taken good care of us. He was the best call we ever made! Thanks Rick for all you continue to do for us.

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.
