Review Rick Davis

Quiet title

Posted by

I used Rick on an auto I purchased out of state that didn't have a VIN on the car. I found I needed a quiet title to be able to register. Contacted Rick and he took care of everything quickly at a reasonable rate. Highly recommend his services.

Quick Response to Questions

Posted by

I've contacted Rick on a couple different occasions while establishing my small business. He has always been quick to respond with information that makes sense to me. I will contact him again with future questions and will definitely hire him should the need arise.

Awesome Job!

I needed help getting a quiet title for my truck. Rick was very professional and assertive. He always kept me in the loop, and was available if I needed him. I will most definitely use him again for any legal matters.

Your website is laid out well.

Bend Over

Posted by

I emailed Mr. Davis and requested an interview. He was agreeable to that provided I pay him $255 per hour. I appealed to his common sense, but without success. Like any prospective client, I wanted to know about his experience in matters such as mine, his availability, his expectations...you know, common questions of all clients. He informed me that not charging me for this info would be terribly unfair to all the others that iquired about his services . Rick may be a terrific attorney for all I know. But his demands are totally unreasonable. Fortunately, he's not the only attorney around.

Rick Davis' response: Thank you for reaching out to my firm and taking the time to complete this review. As you noted, you reached out to me and were advised of my standard hourly rates. You elected not to pay the same and were never a client of the firm or me personally. I wish you the best of success moving forward and hope you are able to find the attorney who is the right match for you.
