Consultation

The first thing I noticed it that he actually picks up his phone, a lot of attorneys ever answer or have the ' assistant" answer for them. I called Mr. Rike just last month and he was very honest, understanding and professional. With no compensation he explains what to expect in the court and how t...o handle. Also very flexible with the retainer. Looking to hire him as our personal attorney in the future

Profesional, Courtesy, Actually Cares

My wife was pulled over on the 202 near the 101 in Chandler for going 85+. Other vehicles were passing her but unfortunatly she was the one to get pulled over. We contacted Chris the next day and secured his services an hour after we emailed him. Due to the serious charge, we felt these guys could ...help us. It takes a while but they represented us and kept us in contact the entire time. Luckily they were able to change the charge to a regular ticket (and we could take traffic school to erase it). If you can, dont do it alone, contact these guys now!

Misdemeanor Speeding

I contacted Chris after I received a Misdemeanor Speeding Ticket that I obtained at a speed trap out in the country. I knew that I could not have this Misdemeanor on my record so I wanted to do everything I could to fight what was an overkill punishment for my speeding violation. Chris was always ver...y responsive, explained my case to me in clear details, and obtained the perfect result! The Case was dropped and I ended up with No Misdemeanors and No Fines to Pay Thanks Chris! -Max S.

Excellent Service

I got a criminal speeding ticket in Arizona and live in Nevada. Chris handled all dealings with my case, which allowed me to not be inconvenienced traveling back and forth. He provided me with updates on the proceedings via email and managed to secure a plea deal to remove the criminal charges and se...verely reduce my fee. The peace of mind and professionalism that he provided was well above my expectations and would recommend him to anyone with a speeding/traffic ticket in Arizona.

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.
