Best Lawyer I've Retained in a Three Year Custody Battle

To the public, Mr. Eli Rico is an attorney whom I was referred to when I spoke to an associate of the disservices I had received from three previous attorneys in order to help me as a father save my son when the odds were against me. I was able to overachieve those odds by remaining loyal to my son. ...Upon meeting Mr. Rico, and displaying the loyalty I have for my son, he could see that I was more than an honorable father. We discussed cost for retaining services in order to get representation to have my final orders entered for winning joint custody, as well as protecting my son's geographical boundary. I kindly let Mr. Rico know I would contemplate his costs for representation. Over the next two week period, and my court date scheduled within that same month, I had received a phone call from Mr. Rico. This attorney showed more than honorable character by reaching out to me to see if I had retained the right attorney to help me save my son. I had let kindly stated I hadn't found the right attorney yet, and Mr. Rico offered to help provide services at a cost for the job at hand. The characters of a noble man, and a father himself showed that he cared enough to step up to the plate to help me save my son by this attorney reaching out to me. On the day of court, Mr. Rico was calm, confident, stern, and educated within the law to stand ground, protect my son and I's relationship to not be broken. More than anything I finally found an attorney that stands up for the meaning of family, and to protect that sacred bound in between parents & children, we were not just another number. Mr. Rico never had to give me a sales line, his actions speak louder than words, which is something that I greatly respect. Another important trait that Mr. Rico has, is that he will always guides you on the possible outcomes when having to make a choice out of a complicated situation, most importantly Mr. Rico always left the decision up to my discretion, and never made a decision on my behalf without consulting with me first. I can honestly say from the experience of my son's custody battle, and the let down of three previous attorneys, that Mr. Rico's traits are rare find. Even though I found this attorney towards the end of my case, I am grateful that I found such powerful representation, and rendered his services to of not found him at all. Both my five year old son, and I thank you Mr. Rico for helping us remain together. We will also keep this attorney for the long run in respect to Mr. Rico's loyalty towards my son, and I's relationship.

ON POINT...

We needed an attorney within two weeks of going to court due to a non agreement at the attorney general for my son. Mr. Rico took our case with no hesitation. He was very trustworthy and understanding of situation. His knowledge during his/our consultation was right on point. Everything was understan...dable when leaving. There was no doubt. Any questions we had out of office, he was very responsive as well as his assistant. When going to court, he was very confident and kept my son focused and positive. We are very pleased with his work and dedication. He is the reason my son can now see his daughter without us hearing excuses why he can not get her. I STRONGLY RECOMEND MR. RICO TO ANY OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HE WILL ALWAYS BE OUR REPRESENTATION FOR ANY FAMILY MATTER!

Mr. Rico, a man of dedication and perserverance.

After visiting with four different attorneys, we knew that Rico was the one for us. I guess our gut instinct was right because thanks to him I have my grand baby's pitter patter of little feet running around and her little voice saying "Nonnie, Nonnie" My heart couldn't be happier. It really feels go...od knowing that Mr. Rico had our family's best interest in heart.
