Wonderful experience!
We would highly recommend Rick in a heartbeat! We worked with Rick on a retail business acquisition, and he was efficient, professional, thorough, and followed up on every email and phone call in a timely manner. Rick made himself available to us, and answered all of our legal questions with patience and ease. He was a pleasure to work with!
