Highly Recommend!!!

My fiance and I were both going through separate custody battles this past year, we consulted with multiple attorneys before we were referred to Rob Ricketts. When we initially met with Rob, he advised us that he could help, he gave us a since of security and ease. Rob is absolutely amazing at his jo...b, very thorough, consistent and fair! He listened to us which was uncommon from the 3 previous attorneys we spoke with. I really can't say enough good things about Rob. He showed up with his A+ game at every court date, he was very diligent at explaining the whole process with us and answering any questions we had. I'll add that he won both cases for us and got everything we wanted. Rob has patience and is extremely good at what he does. I would recommend him again and again! Over the whole process he showed us how much he actually cared about our outcome and our children's safety which is really hard to find anymore!! If you want a fantastic lawyer, Rob will not disappoint!!!

Handled extremely complicated case with professionalism

Mr. Ricketts handled an extremely difficult custody case wherein I was the victim of a crime and the children were the result of it. There can be few instances where compassion meets legal meets crime victim where things can be as emotionally charged nor as high stakes. Mr. Ricketts saw that my child...ren and I were protected and that the best interests and our well being overall was number one. If winning in court is the measure of a good attorney then yes he is a great attorney but the legal, financialand emotional journey is just as important and for these his wisdom and heart far surpass anything one expects in another. Well done counselor.

VERY SATISFIED!!!

Mr. Ricketts was my lawyer in a visitation case for my son, as I am from the state of Wisconsin. Mr. Ricketts explained all the procedures and expectations of what my case would entail. He worked easily with me over the phone and when I traveled to Washington. Mr. Ricketts knowledge of the law is ex...cellent. I would recommend Mr. Ricketts to anyone looking for a great family lawyer. I always felt like I was his only client. Give him a call today!
