Sumner Earl Riddick II

I can't say enough positive things about Mr. Riddick and his staff. They turned a difficult life situation into a positive experience by providing excellent legal counsel during my recent divorce case. HIs organization, attention to detail, prompt communication, and legal knowledge was outstanding.... I have referred many people to Mr. Riddick and everyone has been beyond pleased with his professionalism and services. I highly recommend Mr. Riddick to anyone searching for a divorce attorney.

Having to accompany my daughter in a custody battle for her daughter was excruciating. Fortunately we had Sumner working for us. He is not just a thorough, brilliant, talented, experienced and knowledgable attorney. He is also a reader of character, and a compassionate and scrupulously honest pers...on. By the time we went to trial he knew our case inside out and he knew every person involved inside out. He had not contented himself with hearing the facts as we related them to him. He dug out every detail, whether for or against us. He insisted on the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. He did not indulge in shady legal maneuvering. He followed the law to the letter but left no stone unturned. His psychological insight was invaluable in gauging our case and in preparing each one of us for trial. He came to trial uniquely prepared. He was sharp, attentive, nothing escaped him. He thought on his feet and met every challenge square on with impeccable logic. We emerged from this horrendous case with a clear conscience. Sumner won our case with honor. As a fellow attorney, I give him a 10 out of 5. As a fellow human being I find him unparalleled. Sumner is a credit to his profession and a wonderful human being. We love him, respect him and will forever be in his debt.

Sumner represented one of my best friends in a divorce and custody battle, and I feel compelled to sing his praises. His mix of professionalism, intelligence, persistence, integrity and compassion makes him not just a great attorney, but a great partner you want by your side through one of the tou...ghest journeys in life – divorce & custody. Knowing that he was working on my friend's case gave me great peace of mind. He is untiring, he has your best interest at heart and he'll always tell you the truth. He was a saving grace in our lives. With Sumner and his team, rest assured that you have the best and brightest by your side. They give you 100% of everything they have. Thank you Sumner and team to your dedication to justice!

Divorce is an industry that undoubtedly brings out the worst in people. Sumner Riddick navigates that industry with compassion. I cannot think of a greater thing to say about a divorce attorney. After years of seeing mankind at their worst, he still manages to see you as an individual while assist...ing you with your legal issues. I was referred to Sumner to handle my divorce. I was impressed from the moment I met him at how quickly he formulated responses. He is quick witted, which is certainly a necessary strength in his position. He was insightful enough to ask questions when necessary to gain an accurate picture of my specific situation. I wanted a legal counselor who was able to think quickly on his feet. I was not disappointed at any point in our relationship. When it came to drafting legal documents, I was exceptionally impressed with his writing skills. I attribute a large portion of my happiness with Sumner’s overall performance to the documents he drafted on my behalf. He was savvy about what to say and eloquent in how he said it. Once we established a goal, Sumner guided me towards it. He helped me stay focused on the goal as he advised me what in his experience was the best way to achieve it. He was consistently upfront with me about what was realistic and what was not. He walked me though what was important to negotiate, and what we needed to concede on. At every turn of a long divorce I was grateful Sumner was my counselor.

I feel very fortunate to have had Sumner represent me in my divorce. Facing one of the most difficult decisions in my adult years, I required not only a qualified attorney to protect my financial assets, but more importantly I required an advocate for “Dad Rights”. After all I was divorcing my... wife, not my children. In short, Sumner was qualified, ethical and compassionate throughout the process. If you desire an attorney that values his client then Sumner is the attorney for you. I have referred Sumner to six of my close friends (two of which were not at all happy with their current attorney) and all six hired Sumner and each was extremely satisfied with his services. Like me they felt Sumner took the emotion out of the transaction and was expeditious in moving them to a favorable resolution. I give Sumner five STARS.
