Knowledgable, Responsive

I received a reply to your online contact form very quickly. Your communication in clarifying my needs was clear and concise. Your opinion was well thought out and documented, even though it was not the final outcome I had hoped for. Overall, I believe I was dealing with a competent professional. Y...our website is laid out well.

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.

Posted by ROGER | March 05, 2021 | Hired Attorney

Won our case

We are a small HOA. We hired Rick Davis to sue a problem homeowner to get him to comply with the HOA rules and pay for the damages he caused us. We were successful on all counts and could not be happier with the way things turned out.

Posted by Ken | June 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney

Quiet title

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.

Posted by Becky | February 14, 2017

Quick Response to Questions

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.
