I have quite a substantial experience with lawyers in civil matters. This time, I needed to find a criminal defense attorney for a negligent firearm discharge, a serious felony case. Rick's office took the info over the phone, and within hours Rick called me back. We quickly discussed the situat...ion in further details and I hired him to meet with the defendant at the County jail. After two days, Rick called me back. After a lengthy discussion, I hired him to represent the defendant. During the case, Rick was always responsive to our communication, and he would take ample time discussing the matter. He came prepared to the court hearings, he knew what was going on and what was the applicable law (very important!). His office staff was friendly and helpful. The case did not go to trial, a settlement was reached with the judge and DA after a few hearings.
