Took on the Lizard and Good Hands People--great result

Rico is a great attorney. I have used him more than once. I can't believe the other side's tactics, but through it all, Rico fought and won. It is not like the old days where you just submit a settlement proposal and you get a resolution. Every little thing is contested nowadays, and I'm glad I ha...d Rico handling it.

Phenomenal help

He and his team represented me in a pedestrian vs vehicle case. He is a phenomenal lawyer and an even better person. I am so grateful for everything he did to help me over the 3.5 year case. His team is efficient and works hard to pursue what is right.

Best advocate ever!

I came to Rico with what he considered a "spaghetti marinara" case, involving injuries from two accidents with different types of responsible parties - basically a mess. From the beginning of our relationship, Rico was upfront with possible outcomes, challenges, and where we could succeed. At our con...sultation, he used a step by step visual to show me the process and made sure I understood before moving to the next step. I found this incredibly useful and easy to follow, even though at that stage I had pain interfering with every moment of my day. Rico is empathetic and caring as well as astute. Rico's thoroughness continued throughout our attorney-client relationship and he communicated as needed when new things arose with my case. It was a timely process because of the situation, but there was just the right amount of information given and asked for at just the right time. Having Rico in my corner to navigate with the insurance companies and my caseworkers made my life so much easier and helped me to focus on what both he and I felt was most important - recovering from life-changing injuries. I was grateful he emphasized early on - to work on reaching my maximum medical improvement no matter what. Best advice ever. I managed my care, he managed my case. I definitely recommend Rico Tessandore for your injury litigation. I have provided his number to several people already. Rico has your best interest at heart, he cares, and he KNOWS what it takes to achieve the best outcome for you. Honest. Knowledgeable. Empathetic. Good communication. Trustworthy. That's Rico!

Best attorney ever!

Rico was very clear from the beginning about the specific steps he would take, how long it would take, and how much money I would walk away with. I was in a car accident of no fault of my own. It was minor but the insurance company only offered me a drop in the bucket. Rico assured me my case was wor...th much more. When I signed the papers to close the claim I walked away with my car fixed and almost six times the amount original offered.

A true professional.

I have to say... I have been nothing but extremely impressed with Rico. He fought for me really hard, kept me well informed throughout the process, the outcome was superb, and he was very thorough. The Green Lizard took one look at the situation and folded up like a lawn chair. Rico is THE MAN and I ...cannot recommend him enough. Very Legit, very well known in the industry, and a pleasure to work with.
