Villa Taviana Balcony Issue

Mr. Rice was extremely professional and thorough in the issue I was having with my HOA. He went above and beyond by keeping me informed of the situation with the HOA. The HOA was very difficult and Mr. Rice continued to be professional in getting this matter resolved.

Attorney with integrity!

I hired Mr. Rice in June 2018 for an HOA dispute. Mr. Rice was in constant communication throughout my entire case; always reponding to my late night or weekend questions. His knowledge and expertise surpassed my expectations. If you want an honest attorney who has integrity I would highly recomme...nd you hire Richard Rice.

I would offer 10 stars for Richard's review !!!

I have never met attorney Richard in person , I just googled Encinitas attorneys on my I phone and he was the first one I spoke to and I was amazed with his services , everything ended up very , very well ( I never needed to use any attorney"s services so far , and I was concerned /scared ). He was... my second opinion on a cease and desist letter / counter claim .I loved his ethics /integrity , high expertise / experience , very efficient and precise in his advise and accommodated me in the last minute . It took him minutes to review and advice while he was out of the office , just a miracle or a Godsend ! I highly recommend him to anyone ! I am so grateful for all the support and the great service I've received ! He changed a very tough situation into a more comfortable one ! This was an unexpected surprise for me and I felt the universe worked it out ! " Your intentions and desires are supported by the universe " I felt alone and helpless in this situation , not knowing what to do . He made it so simple !!! Thank you so much Richard !

Highly knowledgeable professional

Richard helped us with a difficult real estate sales transaction that ended up going 3 months longer than planned, resulting in unexpected concurrent rental and mortgage payments. His guidance and expertise were essential to bringing this potential expensive situation to an acceptable resolution. ... He is patient, knowledgeable, and an all around good guy who consistently goes the extra mile. We highly recommend Richard.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

great experience 5 star customer service and knowledge

I contacted Mr. Rice to have him potentially take over a case I have another lawyer working on that never responds to my calls or e-mails. Mr. Rice went to the court house and read my file,went to the county recorders office and went to an ex-parte hearing in an effort to get information.I was extre...mely impressed with his efforts and knowledge.He recommended I stay with my lawyer for monetary and time reasons.I would recommend him strongly.He spent more time with me for the consultation than my lawyer spent with me the last 6 months. I was very impressed with his service.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Richard is an experienced business attorney and litigator that proved to be a valuable resource to me in the management of complex litigation involving our company. I initially retained Richard for his litigation skill and expertise to defend a significant claim brought against our company, but almost immediately he proved to much more than that. His efforts to understand our goals, coupled with his ability to see the bigger picture, made it possible for him to provide pertinent and timely advice to our company. Throughout the process, Richard was very detailed and extremely reasonable in his billing and accounting. I was very impressed by his integrity and work ethic and would be thrilled to work with him again. Whether it is general business litigation defense that you need, or a third-party general counsel / business consultant to provide advice on general business concerns, I both endorse and highly recommend Richard Rice."

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.
