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!
I highly recommend Richard Burt, who has helped me for more than twenty years. Rick is a true lawyer’s lawyer who has an incredibly sharp legal mind. Rick excels at strategic planning, business transactions, and problem-solving, all with the highest ethical standards.
