Thank you Brad!

I can't say enough good things about Brad and the incredible service he provided for my case. Since I was out of state but facing prosecution in Arizona, it was essential to find a lawyer who could truly represent me, and Brad was absolutely the right choice. From the very beginning, he was responsiv...e, attentive, and always available to address my questions and concerns. What really stood out was his genuine empathy and understanding of my situation. He made me feel heard and supported every step of the way. His professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the process, and I’m so grateful for the outcome. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight for you and provide excellent, compassionate legal representation, I highly recommend Brad and his team. You won’t regret it!

Brad won a case after we transferred the case from another attorney

I was prosecuted for money laundering. About $60,000 was found in my car. I paid $10,000 to Paul Ramos. That attorney kept asking me to sign a stipulated agreement but failed to explain why I had to plead guilty. After my friend talked to him over the phone, my friend found out that he did not even k...now about the evidence. I decided to fire him and transfer the case to Brad Rideout. He applied to the court to suppress the evidence. The court therefore dismissed the case without the necessity of a trial. Brad wrote an application to dismiss the case by writing over 40 pages of submissions. I am extremely grateful for his help. I highly recommend anyone to go to him for help.

Didn't do anything for $16,000

I paid $16,000 for Brad Rideout to be my appeal attorney and it was the biggest waste of money. Not only did him nor his team working on my case not send paperwork that I requested be sent. They didn't do anything even close to $16,000 worth of work. He also had told me he'd have me back in court wit...hin 6 months of being sentenced and out within a year. He also assured my family and myself that he wouldn't take my case if he didn't feel confident in winning it. In my opinion I would have been better off throwing that $16,000 into the wind.

Worthless

Brad along with Wendy did absolutely nothing on my case, I'm pursuing numerous ethics violations and State and Federal criminal complaints for Theft and Fraud

Straightforward and Easy Dismissal Plea

I got unexpectedly arrested and charged with two misdemeanors out of the blue with a very weak case that I was the culprit. Still, I hired a representative of Rideout Law to represent me for the best possible outcome. At the pre-trial, I was allowed a "Dismissed without Prejudice" verdict as long as ...I am not to commit any crimes within 90 days after the Pre-trial. My representative was very knowledgeable and effective at everything he's done. I would definitely recommend.

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.
