Excellent Results Again

Mr. Banks has represented me twice, and both times he was able to get the results I was hoping for. If I ever need an attorney again in the future, I won't hesitete to hire him a third time.

Life Turning Point Great Rescuer

Rick D. Banks, attorney at law, handles my case with no time waste, he provids free consultant with easy understanding language right after I left message on his voice mail regarding need help to file bankruptcy. Consultant he gave providing so much information to help me to understand what type of ...bankruptcy I may need and what is the impact may happen to me. After I made decision to file it, I experienced Rick D. Banks attorney and his wonderful staff Miss Leanna Gonzales are great team to work with. They are specialties and knowing exactly what documents court are looking for. Whole processing went through smoothly, took about 6 months starting from my initial phone call to the final court decision. Now I can start fresh and not going to make same mistake anymore. I strongly recommend attorney Rick D Banks to handle your case. Not only because his specialties, friendly stuff also his fee is very reasonable to me. He is really a great gentleman wanting to help people not taking the opportunity to make big money.

Highly recommend, great attorney, great staff!

I hired Rick Banks as my attorney in Dec. of 2011. Even after a divorce and child custody hearing several years before, I had never needed attorney services prior to this time, when I had decided to move out of state with my 2 minor children. I was very relieved to have someone like Rick working on m...y behalf due to the fact that I knew nothing about the laws in this type of case, and the other party was extremely uncooperative. After only a VERY short time with Rick as my attorney (about 1/4 of the time I had originally expected and planned on the case and court dates taking), and many attempts at negotiating with the other party, Rick was finally able to reach a "deal" that we both agreed on without ever having to step foot into a courtroom. His staff was always very friendly and very helpful as well. I highly recommend Rick Banks and his staff to take care of your legal needs.

A great choice...

Rick Banks and his office staff were professional, prompt, supportive and kind throughout the entire process of my legal matter. I felt secure and knew I was in good hands during a very scary and difficult time in my life. One hopes they will not need an attorney again, however if I do, I feel stron...gly that I will turn to Mr. Banks again for assistance.

An honest lawyer with integrity

This attorney and his staff make sure that you completely understand the bankruptcy proceeding and explain all options in lieu of filing. I have never felt such confidence in a lawyer. Although I have not had the need to hire an lawyer since my divorce in 1989, I have worked with many in the courts a...nd Rick Banks is one of the best.
