Great Family Law Attorney!!
Dedicated, hardworking when it came to my case. He is. He will definitely fight for you and your families rights. I live in SD and hired him to take my case on in CA. I am forever grateful I found him. I have had previous attorneys, but none like him and his team. If your looking for someone to take your family as a priority.. then definitely give him a call! Thank you!

Restraining order renewal
My husband filed for a restraining order I was not there for the hearing, my lawyer recommended a trial to dismiss a renewal in the restrainingorder. In court Eric Rice did a excellent job fighting my case. It was his determination & encouragement that helped me to move forward. He won this for me for that I am grateful. I highly recommend his srrvice.

Amazing Attorney
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the professionals at Rice and Rice. Eric Rice represented me, and along with his paralegal Erlinda, helped me ensure the safety and wellbeing of my children. From start to finish, Eric was very honest about what I could expect and how things could proceed short and long term. He consistently provided solid advice and helped me every step of the way. I was concerned about some parenting choices my ex-spouse had made without my consent and Eric was able to help put an end to them in a timely fashion. He is very clever and knows the law inside and out to effectively reach his clients’ goals.     I would also like to note that Eric has consistently made time to meet with me around my flights and limited time in California before needing to appear for court. He has made a point to meet me at his office shortly after I have landed, even if it was outside his usual hours or he was ill on one occasion. He has put my needs as a client above his own to ensure my case was on the right track and I was adequately prepared.     Eric is a firm but respectful presence in court and did not back down when addressing the serious concerns of my case. Thanks to Eric, my children are no longer exposed to the concerning circumstances that prompted my case and they now have a better quality of life.

Family Law
After talking with several law firms and then meeting with Debra Rice I chose to hire Rice and Rice for my situation. I would highly recommend Erick Rice if you have a family law matter. I had a serious case where an emergency hearing was needed and he was very quick to help. Debra and the office staff were able to respond quickly and get me in front of a judge to help me get my situation resolved for my daughter and I. He truly cared about my case and was able to speak for my daughter when she wasn’t able to speak for herself. Erick was able to get the results that were best for my daughter and I. He did an amazing job. I am so grateful I found this law firm.

Review on Eric Rice
Eric has been my attorney for my custody and divorce case since last year. I needed immediate help with seeking custody of my son that was an emergency situation and contacted him right away for legal help. I felt extremely lucky to have met Eric, he consulted with me right away about my situation and was extremely helpful to respond quickly to my immediate needs regarding my son. I felt very relieved after talking to Eric and confident that he was going to get the results I was seeking in my case and he did. The day of my hearing I got custody of my son. I could not have asked for a better attorney than Eric, he knows what he's doing. I would recommend Eric for any case regarding family law as he is the best attorney I have met that truly cares about his clients individual case and needs, and knows how to get results.

Divorce Attorney
Eric was my divorce attorney, and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to handle my divorce. He really made sure everything was in my best interest.

Need a great divorce attorney, use Eric Rice
Eric has been and continues to be a great attorney. My ex-husband is trying to rake me over the coals, but Eric has been two steps ahead of him and his attorney each and every time. We are not done yet, but I have complete faith in Eric and know that he will be there for me and make sure I receive everything that I deserve. I have never personally met Eric as I live in FL and my ex filed for divorce in CA. Yet Eric talks to me and looks out for my well being as if we have known each other for years. If you need a great attorney, and not just a good attorney, Eric is your man. He will work with you and explain everything to you in a way that makes sense. Look no further if you need a great attorney!
