Have used Rick on 2 occasions and he has delivered on both! An outstanding price for the product Rick offers. Fast and very intelligent, Rick and his assistant are a superb team to have in your corner when facing life's more challenging times and judge.

I was stopped by an officer because he saw me go partly on the sidewalk to make a right turn. He then did a DUI investigation and I was arrested for DUI. I refused the breath test and was booked. I hired Rick Rivera to represent me. He did a great job on my case and to my shock got my case reduced to a Reckless Driving. If you need an attorney I would highly recommend Rick and the Law Office of Carlson, Meissner, Hart & Hayslett.

I was charged with violating my probation and it was clear to me that the judge was planning on throwing me in jail. I fired my old attorney and hired Rick Rivera. Although we were set for an evidentiary hearing, Rick was able to take care of it for me. I didn’t have the hearing, didn’t go to court, and most importantly didn’t do any jail time. My probation was terminated. If you need an attorney I would highly recommend Rick and the Law Office of Carlson, Meissner, Hart & Hayslett.

I was arrested for DUI and hired Rick Rivera. He, and his team were excellent... responsive, always answering any questions and kept me timely informed... He got the best for me under the circumstances of my case.....even afterwards, Rick responded quickly towards any residual questions, as well as some additional help and recommendations.. If you need an attorney, I would highly recommend Rick and the Law Office of Carlson, Meissner, Hart, & Hayslett

I was arrested even though I hadn’t done anything wrong. I met with Rick on the day I got out of jail and hired him on the spot. Rick knew all the ins and outs of the system and told me what he would do to get the charges dropped. Within 3 weeks of my arrest Rick had the charges dropped. If you need an attorney I would highly recommend Rick and the Law Office of Carlson, Meissner, Hart & Hayslett.

I was arrested for a bogus Domestic Battery charge. I was told Rick Rivera was the best attorneys in town so I hired him. The State wanted me to do a year probation and 7 months of classes. They also wanted to revoke my bond and throw me back in jail. Rick handled it just right. Not only did I not go back to jail but the state was forced to reduce the charge to Disorderly Conduct. I was not convicted and only had to pay a small fine. No probation and no classes. If you need an attorney I would highly recommend Rick and the Law Office of Carlson, Meissner, Hart & Hayslett.

I was arrested for DUI. I hired Rick Rivera. He won my DMV hearing so I never lost my license. Although the State initially refused to reduce my case Rick was able to get the judge to throw my breath test results out. After that the State relented and I got a Reckless Driving. If you need an attorney I would highly recommend Rick and the Law Office of Carlson, Meissner, Hart & Hayslett. Appreciate the all the hard work.

Mr. Rivera was quick to hop on my case, and kept me updated throughout the process which he clearly described. Have received the best possible outcomes in every facet so far, and would highly recommend his services!
