Will make a Good and Fair Judge someday .... if he wants to.

I met Rick years ago through the Yellow Pages, went to see him on another matter and felt relaxed and confident in his abilities. I retained him as a lawyer in 2012 and he took my case and started working on it right away. In the end it was resolved way better than I expected thanks to Rick and his p...rofessionalism, experience AND staff. Thanks Rick, Deb, Angela & Lexi

Most trustworthy and hardworking family law attorney in Sacto.

My case involved custody issues, spousal support, visitation and every other family law issue you can throw into the ring between a couple getting a divorce with three children. The other side was extremely abrasive and rude when I had to deal with them before hiring Rick but once I retained him the ...nonsense, and bullying from my ex husband and his legal team stop immediately. I appreciate not only Rick's knowledge within family law but his patients, guidance, and most importantly friendship as a professional colleague. His office staff including his paralegal, legal assistant, and secretary could not have been more pleasant in answering my questions or setting up appointments for me to meet with Rick directly. They always walked me through everything and always made sure I understood what was happening in my case at all times. They also continuously sent me electronic copies of ALL of my documents pertaining to every aspect of my case, making keeping my paperwork organized and all together a walk in the park. My case was miserable before I hired Richard and would have been miserable without him So happy with the outcome of my case and know that if I have any future family law issues (pray to God not) that I will come straight to Mr. Eldridge's office and would be welcomed back with open arms!

This is one very fine professional and I am one very happy client. Don't waste your time looking anywhere else. He's the best

I'm so very glad I was referred to Mr. Eldridge. He was a god send when my world was spiralling out of control and the opposing attorney was doing the most unethical things imaginable. He kept me on track, in the loop and transformed the entire atmosphere of the litigation once my ex saw exactly how ...professional and knowledgeable he was and his attorney was not. Eventually, my ex dumped her attorney and we resolved all of our issues. Even my ex now refers client's to him. He is without a doubt the best Certified Family Law Attorney in the Sacramento region.

Excellent Attorney. Established and very knowledgable of family law

This Attorney was professional and devoted to the outcome of my case. He related to me and cared deeply. He fought hard for me and my family! I would highly recommend him and his law firm.
