Great Lawyer

Rick Morin was absolutely wonderful! He made the whole bankruptcy process so easy and talked everything through with me as if I was a friend. His staff and himself were always professional and caring. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for some debt relief.

Bankruptcy

I hired Rick to handle my bankruptcy case. He was very personable and knowledgeable. He was detailed about every step on the process and eased my nervousness.

Posted by Tim | September 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

This is the attorney you need!

I was hit with a bogus 10 cause civil action from a disgruntled former employer (an attorney). Rick was able to grasp the complexity of the case immediately. His knowledge of employment law was amazing, and he worked with me on every aspect of my case. He is ethical, pleasant, and sincere. My case wa...s dragged out for two and a half years, and he got me a settlement for a fraction of what the other attorney was demanding. His fees are reasonable as well. I will not use anybody else if I need legal help

Awesome Lawyer

Rick handled my very complex bankruptcy case with knowledge and expertise, and he answered all my questions and helped me through the entire process. I highly recommend Rick and his team!

"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him."

This quote is attributed to many, so I'm not sure who I'm quoting exactly, but I am definitely going to use it to describe Rick Morin. Rick was a customer of mine at a small business near the courts. Our attorney clients could be condescending, demanding, and downright rude at times, but Rick was ...professional and friendly without fail. When I was looking for a bankruptcy attorney on the ARAG network, I was very relieved to see his name on the list. From my first call to Hilary at the office to the bankruptcy hearing with Rick by my side, this law office has been incredible. They are organized, responsive, positive, reassuring, and detail-oriented. Rick takes the time to explain the process and to answer all of your questions. Hilary keeps you on track with text reminders, emails, and phone calls. And today Holly must have sprinted to make it from the office to the courthouse, through security, and up to the 7th floor in ten minutes to bring something to fix a goof I made. (It is worth mentioning that you need your social security card at your hearing, and you are not supposed to laminate it, especially if you have not signed it prior to laminating!) I am so grateful to Rick and his staff for getting me where I am now. My bankruptcy will soon be discharged. My life has already changed so much for the better!
