Mr. Rizos was extremely helpful in providing me with legal consultation. He thought through my situation as his own and honestly told me how to go about with my issue. He went above and beyond in giving me feedback even though he was extremely busy with his other work. I highly recommend Mr. Rizo to anyone who needs an attorney!

John was extremely diligent and very helpful in providing me legal counsel. I chose John Rizos because he was highly regarded in my local community as being a leader and activist. He ended up working very hard on my consultation and was able to help me find the best resolution for all parties. Go with John Rizos for meticulous care and attention to detail.

John is a consummate professional and always willing to lend support to his clients around the clock. From my experience consulting with him on sensitive private family matters as well as tenant issues related to breach of contract and signed leases, I always felt confident that I was not being taken advantage of. You would definitely not be taking a roll of the dice with Rizos on your side; 5/5 would recommend.

John helped me and my family with a breach of contract case regarding faulty installation of an addendum. The contractor we had hired broke our contract by not putting necessary installments to our addendum. The deterioration of the faulty addendum continues and my family has had to be concerned about the condition of our house. I consulted with and hired John for recommendations going forward and the possibility of a legal case. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very detail oriented with his research to ensure complete understanding of my options. He found the issues with our case within a few hours of our consultation and explained to me and my family the law and how it applied to us. I feel confident going forward with pursuing a legal action, if necessary, based on John's advice. I highly recommend John to anyone who is seeking a competent attorney.

On a Friday prior to a large PR event for my non-profit, my partner and I realized that we were missing some crucial release forms for our participants which were imperative for us to use any photos taken during our event. I reached out to John at 3pm on Friday afternoon, and he contacted me within 30 minutes. By 5pm, I had my disclosure agreements ready to go. John was attentive, he paid attention to detail, and really cared for our cause. I would certainly recommend John if you want a lawyer who grasps the concept of urgency.
