"I endorse this lawyer. I have referred multiple cases to Lucas over the years and have heard nothing but great things back from the individuals I have sent his way. Lucas additionally goes out of his way to help the community every chance he gets."
"Mr. Ritchie is the epitome of an excellent lawyer. Mr. Ritchie's thoughtful and patient nature, coupled with his high integrity and attention to detail, garners the respect of judges, peers, clients and adversaries alike. Mr. Ritchie can not only zealously and effectively represent clients, but can do so in a manner that doesn't alienate others. In short, he can disagree without being disagreeable. If you have a litigation matter that you would like to efficiently resolve by focusing on substance rather than fireworks, I strongly endorse Mr. Ritchie."
