Highly recommended!

Consulted with Mr. Thomas. He was direct, concise, and thoughtful. His advise was very helpful to my case as a pro se litigant. Would highly recommend him.

Litigation lawyer | Mar 06

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Rick's a fine lawyer and advocate that gets results. Rick and I worked together on a complex banking case and against tough odds the outcome was a huge victory for our clients. Rick is also damn funny and has an encyclopedic recall of obscure b-grade comedies, especially from the 80s, which can be very amusing in difficult times."

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.
