Satisfied Client

I retained Richard Fowlks as my lawyer to finalize my divorce. I sought advice from a friend who works in estate law for a referral. He suggested I contact Richard Fowlks. I am so glad I took his advice and Richard agreed to help me. Richard was professional and had my best interest at all times. ...Richard fought for me and was always available to respond to my calls or e-mails during what can be a very stressful time. He kept me calm and I always felt that everything would be ok. In the end, I got the exact settlement I expected. Without Richard’s help, my situation would have not have ended so positively and would have been much more expensive. Thank you Richard for all your help!

Rick comes with my highest recommendation

I've had perhaps the most difficult divorce and custody "battle" you could ever imagine. Rick and Carlin stuck with me through the 4+ year ordeal. I can't imagine what I would have done without them.

Very knowledgable and fair attorney

I switched to Rick after multiple bad interactions/experiences with my prior divorce attorney. Rick kept me informed through the whole process and helped explain everything so I understood what was going on. If ever, and I hope not, have to get divorced again, Rick would be the first attorney... I would call because I know I would be in good hands with him.

Truly a Decent and Honorable Man

Rick Fowlks has earned my deepest respect, and he comes with my highest recommendation. There is one quality that sets Rick Fowlks apart from the rest: He is truly a decent and honorable man. This has been a very difficult divorce and custody "battle". It has gone on for nearly 3 years mostly b...ecause my ex-wife deliberately caused this divorce to be extremely contentious, costly and difficult. She played every trick in the book to cause conflict and delays, attempting to make me look like the bad guy, and keep our son from spending time with me. In difficult divorces like this one, it's no cake-walk and the really good attorneys out-shine the rest; Rick Fowlks is one of those really good attorneys. I can't imagine having gone through the last 3 years without Rick Fowlks and his assistant Carlin. A million thank-you's to Rick Fowlks and his assistant Carlin, and not just for the legal work they did, but also for their friendship and kindness and moral support, and for all this time I now get to have with my son.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
