Excellent counsel and top-notch results!

I highly recommend Rick Eddington with Cantafio Eddington PC. His extensive personal injury experience and knowledge gave me confidence that he would see my case through to a successful resolution and he delivered. He navigated a complex process on my behalf, providing excellent legal counsel and kee...ping me informed all along the way. I couldn't be happier with his representation, his reassurance through a stressful process, and his skilled execution of a winning strategy!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I highly recommend Rick for anyone who is looking for a seasoned trial lawyer who consistently receives large verdicts and settlements for his clients. Rick works hard for his clients and is often sought by other attorneys to help them with their cases. Rick has received numerous awards for his outstanding legal work. The reason Rick is so widely respected is that he truly cares about his clients, gets to know them, he knows the law, and he fights insurance companies to make them treat his clients fairly."

"Rick is a great attorney. He has been practicing for 30+ years. He has been a great mentor to me over the years. He is very personable, and treats his clients with the utmost respect. He communicates with his clients very well, and fights for them greatly."

"I give Rick the strongest endorsement that I can provide. Rick is an outstanding trial attorney that has dedicated 30 years of practice to representing plaintiffs in personal injury claims with cases involving topics as diverse as car accidents, tracker trailer accidents, aviation claims, bad faith insurance claims and product liability claims. Rick has many strengths, but his ability to cross examine expert witnesses is beyond comparison. The thing that really makes Rick so special is as good a lawyer as Rick is - and he is an absolute top shelf attorney - he is an even better person. No one ever wants to be involved in a situation where they require the services of a personal injury attorney. However, if you, a family member, friend or anyone else ever finds themselves in that position - you not only want a Rick Eddington in your corner; you are going to need Rick Eddington in your corner. I give Rick an "A+". If there were a higher grade, I would give him that grade too."

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.
