I have practiced civil litigation in the San Bernardino/Riverside area for 24 years. For the first 14 years of my legal career I was an insurance defense attorney and for the last 10 years I have practiced mostly plaintiff work so I understand what both sides are looking for and how they handle litigation. My experience from the defense side is unique among plaintiff attorneys and affords me an insight that most other plaintiff attorneys do not have. I know how to negotiate with defense lawyers and how to get them what they need to make a settlement favorable to my client.

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.

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...
