GREAT attorney - Knowledgeable and fair

Overall my divorce was going nowhere until I hired Rick. I am so pleased that Rick was able to communicate what documents were needed and his guideance through a complex procedure for CA family court. His staff is on top of the case every step of the way. You will not go wrong in hiring Rick and his... folks to handle your divorce

Rick is the best of the best

We have had Rick handle two cases for me over the last several years. Not only was Rick easy to deal with, he knows what he is doing and gets results. Yesterday we concluded a long standing issue at Settlement Conference and we won BIG TIME!! Could not have gotten the great result without Rick. ... You need a Family Law Attorney? Rick is your man!

Best of the Best!!

You cannot find a more professional, yet approachable, office than the Law Office of Richard Eldridge. I highly recommend this office if you want an experienced, knowledgeable and caring attorney. Rick is a Family Law Specialist which I believe gives his clients the extra level of expertise in the in...tricacies of dealing with family law cases. Rick and Deborah know the law extremely well! What a team!! Their attention to detail is exquisite! My somewhat complicated case needed this level of professionalism. I wish I had found this office when initially going through my divorce 3.5 years ago. After going back to court with my ex-husband, issues that should have been taken care of the first time around are now completed. Financial issues like the Grant Deed to my house and Retirement Account division which my first attorney did not seem able to get done are now completed. Spousal support has been clarified. I needed to establish safety for my children. Rick and his staff helped me to present evidence to achieve a decision which offers more protection for them. I was able to get sole legal and physical custody of my children, which is what was needed in this case for their safety. I feel like Rick and his staff truly are concerned about getting the best outcome for all involved, especially the children affected by these court decisions. I will forever recommend this office to anyone I know who needs these services.

Rick to the Rescue

My family and I recently hired Richard Eldridge to represent one member going through a divorce action. Our experience could not have been better! Mr. Eldridge's professionalism, knowledge of the law, and commitment to our case was only enhanced by his caring nature. His goal was to help us get throu...gh this difficult time in a timely manner through dedication and hard work. His office staff and paralegal were always helpful and positive as well. I highly recommend this firm for anyone needing a family law attorney. What a team!

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!
