Frank Richard Ricketts JR

I wish I could say he did the same for me that some of the other reviews have noted but it was complete opposite. In our first meeting I felt confident Mr. Ricketts had mine and my child's best interests in mind but very quickly he showed the complete opposite. He did nothing but make my case worse. ...He never filed documents that were supposed to be filed, would never answer my questions or respond to phone calls or emails. In our last court date he had the same exact argument that didn't work the 2 court dates prior and when the judge asked him blatant obvious questions regarding the case he had to turn back to me for answers. He never met with me prior to the hearings to at least tell me what to expect before hand and catch up on what had been happening. In the end he caused me to loose visitation and I had retain a new attorney to fix what he messed up. Would not recommend him to my worst enemy. I filed a complaint with the Bar Association so hopefully that will help by keeping him from messing up his next clients life. LOOK ELSE WHERE YOU WILL BE THANKFUL.

I had an attorney drop me 2 days before the Settlement Conference of my divorce. I was in a real panic as to what to do. Volunteer Legal told me where to find Richard and Richard saw me that very day. He spent all night reviewing my case and preparing all of my paperwork. He personally handed the...m to the judge the next day and explained why they were late. Richard didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear; he told me what I needed to hear. He fought for the important parts and gave into the trivial parts. He was an amazing negotiator! I had so much confidence that he was looking after me and would help me to get a fair settlement. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone...in fact I did. One of my good friends used him shortly after I did. I really appreciated how he ran his business. He keeps expenses to a minimum so he can pass on the savings to his clients. I was extremely happy with the service that Richard Ricketts offered and I would use him again in a heartbeat if I ever needed to!!!

I've been going through a custody battle with my daughters mother for approx four years now. Over this course, Mr. Ricketts is the third lawyer that I have retained. I have spent well over $18,000 with the other two lawyers, however Mr. Ricketts accomplished more in my case than the other two did at ...a fraction of the cost. Mr. Ricketts is by far the most genuine attorney that I have ever met. He took my case with an honest interest in seeing the best outcome for my daughter. He patiently listened to my frustrations, my concerns, and thoughts through the entire process. He often made suggestions that were logical and very well thought out. He was always available to me via phone or email, and always shared information about the case with me. I was never kept in the dark. I was never over charged, nor billed for any frivolous expenses (contrary to the two previous attorneys that I had retained in this case). I honestly have to say that I don't think I would have come out as well as I did had I not retained Mr. Ricketts. Thanks to his counsel, my daughter is in a safer home than she would have been with her mother, and I get the unique opportunity to be a custodial father. Mr. Ricketts is a stand up man and lawyer. He practices with integrity and an honesty that seems very rare in his profession these days. I would recommend him to any person who is in need of a good family law attorney, but specifically to any man seeking to gain or keep custody of his children. Thanks, Richard for all you have done for us.
