Very Knowledgeable and Helpful

Mr. Riccks helped me out with a very involved case that took some time to untangle. He was very direct in his representation of me and I always felt I was in good hands throughout the ordeal. STella is a gem! I have rehired him on several occasions and have referred him to others in need.

He got the job done, and quickly!

Ken helped us evict a dead beat tenant that we couldn't deal with on our own. He did an excellent job, on time, and at a reasonable cost. We were so pleased with his work that sometime later we used his services a second time to evict a second tenant and we were equally pleased. Ken's assistant St...ella was also helpful in the process and did a great job for us.

Excellent Attorney if you need help.

Mr. Ricks helped me from the time that I called him. He helped me with things that I wasn't aware that I needed help with. He even helped me locate a chiropractor when I needed one. He also guided me through the legal process that otherwise I would have been completely lost in. He's excellent with co...mmunication, and understanding what I needed as his client, and he was amazing in fighting for my case. The man has a heart.

Hiring Mr. Ricks was the best decision ever!

After a car accident, many people are pressured by the insurance companies to settle quickly without understanding the full extent of their injuries or damages. I unfortunately had 2 rear-end accidents in 6 years with significant injuries and surgeries from both. I hired Mr. Ricks both times to assi...st me in making sure everything was handled properly. His patience, and strong persistence, as well as his excellent knowledge of the industry helped me to achieve the best results possible both times. He and his staff are extremely friendly, thorough, helpful and will always ensure you are taken care of and all of your questions are answered in "plain English" vs. legal "mumbo jumbo". They will ensure that all possible scenarios, outcomes and options are presented and that you are aware of what is going on. You do not ever feel like "just another file" on the desk. They truly care and are honest and helpful with understanding your real options and will help you through to the very end. I highly recommend Mr. Ricks and his staff!
