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.

I know how to negotiate with defense lawyers and how to get them what they need to make a settlement favorable to my client.

"I endorse this lawyer. Ken Ricks is an outstanding attorney. I would recommend him to any client of mine who needs a civil attorney. Ken is very knowledgeable and businesslike and works hard to get a swift and sound resolution for his clients. I would trust Ken with any of my own potential civil law matters. If you are considering hiring a civil law attorney; stop considering and just hire Ken."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ken had a very difficult job to do with terrible facts to work with. He did a very commendable job and displayed exemplary professionalism at all times during the 5+ week long trial."
