Excellent attorney

Rick defended me on a bog as dui case . I was given a dui wile driving my 18 wheeler this was a guilty verdict would be career ending . The two Kansas state troopers flat out lied . It was just us against the troopers and Rick gamers them hard I was found not guilty . During the 2 plus year expeiance... rick always keep me updated and would return my calls sometimes as late as midnight.. He made me feel like I was his only client when he had many can't thank him enoph and would highly recommend him and would definitely use him again.

Fantastic, Awesome Attorney

Me and my brother were picked up for drug possession. We were not guilty. Mr. Carney was so damn good to us. He worked it all out and we are free today

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.
