Top Notch

When I was notified about a completely false and life altering accusation, I did not hesitate in reaching out to Rick for help. He quickly gathered the facts, made the necessary phone calls and provided me with the specific guidance I needed as my case went on. After Rick presented actual facts to t...he agency investigating me, the case was dismissed and charges never got filed. Rick is passionate and goes above and beyond in helping his clients . Highly Recommend.

Richard Lougee

When it comes to a defendant who's life is on the line and facing 25 to life you need a reliable and trustworthy lawyer who is avaliable 24/7. Richard lougee worked extremely hard to make a difference, not only in my case but in my life. As I stated above, I was facing 25 to life and was dealt probat...ion in the end. Richard impacted my life in the upmost positive way and still continues to be there for me as if I was family. Compassion and empathy are only a few words to describe Richard Lougee. Thankyou Rick for all that you have done and continue to do for me.

Cleared of all charges

I had to defend my friend who was rendered unconscious and myself against an attack and it resulted in the death of one of the attackers. I was charged with murder in the second degree. Most of the witnesses were friends of the attacker. Mr. Lougee provides the best possible defense you can get. ...He knows the law and how a prosecutor thinks. He is hardworking, usually working long days and the weekends. He was available 24/7 via cell phone to answer any of my questions and is honest and tells it like it is. He filed motions that were very beneficial to my case. He was able to expose and discredit witnesses that were providing false testimony and experts that didn't do their jobs. I had the biggest decision in my life to make, whether or not to testify. I had waited over a year to tell my story, was innocent and had nothing to hide. Rick's advise was that I couldn't add anything that would help my case, therefore I could only hurt it. Even though my gut didn't agree, I decided to take his advice and put my trust and life in his hands. It was not misplaced, I was found NOT GUILTY of all charges. This outcome would not have been possible without the great defense Rick provided me through his hard work, knowledge of the law and skill in the courtroom. Thank you Rick, ever so much.

This man saved my life

I was falsely accused with three felony counts. Rick not only put forth an amazing defense for me (all charges dismissed), he also understood the human side of things. His experience and kindness helped my family and I get through a very difficult time. I live in Phoenix, and despite the fact that... Rick is based out of Tuscon, he was always available and came to all my court dates. Rick is quite frankly one of most intelligent and hard working people I have ever met. Any one who needs legal help should use him without hesitation.
