Frank Richard Ricketts JR

Richard failed to represent my child in my divorce. He failed to have my child's best interest. He did not help with my parenting plan and left several wholes to my parenting plan as a final order. He does not listen and he does not have children of his own. There for he really can NOT make a great r...ecommendation for a child. Please do not hire this guy!

My personal experience with Mr. Ricketts was that he did not represent me in a upstanding conscientious manner. He pretended to be interested in helping me during the consultation, but once he had my money, not only did he do as little as possible to help me, before and during court he was antagoni...stic, condescending and borderline berated me with prejudice and bias, in hopes I would fire him because he learned the case was more difficult than he thought for the price he charged me. ***IF Litigation is not needed And the opposing party would never lie, does not want what's in the best interest of the children rather what's in the best interest of herself, then Rockette's bargain prices and sub-par service might be a good fit for you.

I unfortunately used avvo and saw the amazing reviews. I should have questioned why at that time all his reviews were so amazing. I hired him and found he was pompous and arrogant. He didn’t pay attention to everything I said and pointed out to him. The irony was I had an incredible lawyer prior and ...had an agreement with my ex that she broke. I would find an email several time asking me to write out statements etc. the night before, leaving me almost no time to prepare. The rub was as I became knowledgeable of the system and talked to others in the court house Ricketts had a poor reputation and it seemed the effort he put into your case was mainly whether you were a good looking female or plied him with compliments. This guy will cost you a lot of money for nothing. He will lie to you and uses the excuse that everyone lies in court. Seriously, do not hire.

He told me that I was not a priority for him and would go weeks without communicating with me. He ignored many of my emails. The emails that I would write him would be ignored and he would attempt to email me to get information that I had already given him multiple times. When it came to the paperw...ork for my case he would assume the information i would give him was incorrect. He would also email me paperwork that needed to be signed but it would be after that paperwork was due. Making everything more complicated. I had been very patient with this man, even though he attempted to use poor excuses and bring his personal life into the matter to give reasons as to why he was lacking in the communication department. In the end I choose to drop him and I switched other attorney. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you, provide you with excellent communication and information regarding your case please be advised that this is NOT the attorney for you.
