Beware Walter Damian Rickert

Terrible useless attorney. I hired this attorney, paid retainer, and he sat on my money for over 4 months without doing a thing. Did not file with the courts or anything. The attorney later suggested he did research on how to deal with my case, and therefore charged me $400. The research was no diffe...rent than what we both already knew. It's was more along the lines of confirmation research of what we already knew. This attorney is as useless as a bucket without the bottom. Does not return calls or e-mails. I literally had to show up in person numerous times to discover he has yet to file or even prepare my case. Attorney kept making promises he could not keep.
