Professional wonderful caring amazing attorney!

I found Attorney Debra Rice after interviewing 6 other Attorneys who just seemed to care about their retainer fees and not about the details of my case that could've changed my life for the worst. With so much care, experience and guidance Debra showed me the exact steps I needed to take in order to... make sure I was not a victim in my case and outcome. Debra will be my attorney for life for the incredible way that she handled my personal legal situation. Thank you Debra!

Divorce Case

Ms. Rice is an excellent lawyer, after passing my case through several lawyers in the Riverside, she was the only who was able to successfully finish the case. She is by far the best to deal with, more knowledgeable about the law, easy to access and communicate with. Thank you Ms. Rice.

Job well done.

Debra got me the best deal, she could possibly get. She was very helpful, persistent and very truthful, about my situation. Yes, I will definitely recommend her, to my friends and relatives. Thank you, so much, Debra.

Hired when fresh out of public defenders office

Was charged private attorney fees for public defender service. Made deals that didn't go through with my divorce that my new attorney stated Mrs. Rice wasn't able to make in the first place. Made a bad situation worse sure to a lack of knowledge that resulted in me not being able to see my son for a ...number of years. I stopped making payments and got another attorney, now Mrs rice is trying to charge me $9000 (found this against my credit) on top of the several thousand in payments i had previously made, for the equivalent of a basic divorce, being that this was the only service she actually ended up performing. She might be more competent now but based on my experience I can't recommend her.

GREAT DUI SPECIALIST!

I was referred to Debra by a friend, and could not have been more satisfied. Her team was understanding, sympathetic and gave great direction. I didn't have to call off work to attend court hearings and her follow up was great. I was very happy with the outcome and Debra was always available by cell... to answer all of my questions and concerns. I will definitely refer her to people that inquire about attorney assistance. Thank you Debra, for everything.
