I was attacked by a Clackamas county k9 unit

The first day I met Richard I was confined to bed and not in a compenet mind, due to pain pills. Richard was always very professional through a two year process. He knew exactly when to contact the sheriff's. Office and how much to counter offer when we were attempting to settle the claim. I would ...highly recommend him. He is very trustworthy and cares for each client as though they are the only one.Richards entire staff is excellent and fun to work with. Thank you Richard for all your help

Great experience!

Having never had any experience with the legal system before, I was grateful to have found Richard Rizk! He was very knowledgeable and *very* patient with all my questions. Richard explained all my options clearly along the way and kept me in the loop on the updates to my case. All the way through th...e course of our relationship I felt very confident that my best interest was being taken care of. His staff was also very friendly and responsive. Overall, it was a great experience! Thanks :)

Richard did the job!

Thank goodness I had long term disability insurance thru my employer. I was struck out of the blue with a condition that nearly left me fully paralyzed. The monthly insurance payment helped us thru some tough money times. Then, after two years, our LTD informed us by letter that my claim was now ...denied due to reasons in the fine print of the policy. Yes, just like this I was arbitrarily and hypothetically denied further payments! And it can happen to you... At this point my wife and I found that the private LTD system is completely rigged in favor of the companies. At the bottom of this are the ERISA laws that make it nearly impossible to fight the insurance companies, and this is when most people give up. The insurance companies go away with your premiums, and you lose income that may be rightfully due. Just what the greedy companies want! Hard working people should not be left out to dry just because of a disability! Well we shopped around and found someone that was actually on our side. Richard Rizk, Attorney at Law. Trust me, Richard is a person that can take on the insurance company and win. Richard understands how ERISA works having been a lawyer in this field for over 20 years. It takes an experienced caring lawyer to get thru this intentionally complicated quagmire of LTD law and Richard is your best choice! I fully recommend Richard as he cared about how we felt, he understood the difficulty the denial was creating, but mostly, he understands the injustice of the laws written that favor the insurance companies. When you need a lawyer to get what is rightfully yours, make Richard Rizk your lawyer. Richard, thanks for helping us win our case!

REVIEWING Richard Rizk ATTORNEY

I am writing this review concerning my personal experience with attorney Richard Rizk. I was put in contact with Mr.Rizk through another attorney(passed off) I contacted Richard we set up a meeting that i cancelled last minute. Then i was late when i finally did get to meet with him. So normally... one would say,we were off to a bad start. However Mr Rizk spent way over an hour talking to me. He charged me 35.00 for that consultation. THAT WAS THE BEST SPENT 35.00 ive ever spent. I gained more knowledge and guidance from him in that 110 minutes. He had the knowledge and tools that he conveyed to me. on how to gather the evidence, so the facts would speak for themselves. That i would need if the time came to defend myself . The time did come,A year later and thanks to his well conveyed instructions, i was ready. I did not hire Mr Rizk at that time because the case i was in litigation about. I thought was not in his area of expertise. (my mistake)A mistake that cost me 6,000.00 i hired a lawyer who could care less. So i contacted Richard, i was being sued for a million dollars. Now i have to tell you i live at poverty level. Richard and i only had one rough spot in my dealings with him. He thought i had lied to him. Who would think a lawyer would care about that? Richard was not just ANY lawyer! He is extremely patient, He takes the time to listen to you. So He can give you a well thought over, knowledgeable response to your situation. He is a lawyer with more veracity then most. A word you would not use concerning most lawyers. He stepped down as my lawyer when i decided to go pro se.(income at poverty level) However he stayed with me as my advisor.I made it 3 days into trial and i would not have made it without his guidance and knowledge. He is a lawyer you can depend on to be HONEST,KNOWLEDGEABLE,and ready to take the upper hand when things get rough. He will stand and fight for what is rite when you need a great lawyer Richard Rizk is the lawyer you need on your side. from an Amazed and appreciative client

Richard is honest, dedicated and very professional. He helped me settle a very difficult disability case with Unum.

I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for an attorney who is dedicated, professional and honest. He took the time to always call or email me immediately. He really took my situation seriously and worked extremely hard to settle my case and get me a good amount of money. Richard listen...s to every detail of your situation and is so caring and understanding (which is rare with any attorney's). Richard helped me stay positive when feeling low, and encouraged me to stay strong.
