Posted by Margarita | February 10, 2019 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Grateful to have stumbled upon such great legal counsel!

By good fortune for me, Mr. Rick Woods became my Attorney. We didn't always agree, but he stood by his guns and spoke his truth, even when I was a difficult client. When I called his office, he would call me right back; when I emailed, I didn't wait long for a response; when I was out in left field..., he reeled me back in. Rick was very attentive, and approachable. It was refreshing to have someone of good character on my side. His performance in the courtroom left me proud to call him my Attorney. It is with great esteem that I highly recommend Mr. Rick Woods as one of the most reliable, and professional attorneys that I've had the pleasure to work with. Bonus: His staff is awesome!

Experience Counts

I have known Rick for over 25 years. He helped me from the beginning of starting my own business to present. I trust him completely with my personal and business legal needs.

Mr. Woods, a true professional

Mr. Woods was professional and straight to the point on my situation. It was resolved quickly before the judge and in my favor. He understands law and how to function correctly within it. I appreciate his strong abilities.

Rick Woods is Top Notch

Rick Woods is thorough, diligent, personable, organized, easy going, and most importantly, EFFECTIVE. His legal assistant, Julie, is first class as well. You're in good hands if Rick Woods is sitting on your side of the table in Arkansas, just as he was doing for my company and me today. He makes... things happen and understands how to present clearly to a jury. If you give your problem to Rick Woods, Rick makes the problem go away.

Satisfied Client

Mr. Woods was knowledgeable and timely with his preparation of Court Documents. He came to the Courtroom prepared and helped to make the whole situation as seamless as possible. He kept me informed as the progress of the proceedings and was quick to respond to my questions.

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.
