I have known Rick for nearly 20 years in connection with his representation of catastrophically injured children. As the guardian ad litem in some cases and the eventual guardian in others, I have had many opportunities to observe his fine legal skills, including negotiations, motion practice, trial, and his extensive post-judgement work with children and families in securing optimal financial, social, health, and family outcomes for his clients. He is really smart, thoughtful, candid, insightful, charming, humorous, conscientious, and absolutely and continuously committed to every aspect of his clients' welfare. I know many excellent lawyers but Rick is in a class by himself.

My daughter and I worked with this attorney for over four years on a claim involving an auto accident where she was injured. He is professional, thorough, personable, and patient - he took all the time necessary to make sure we understood the proceedings. His medical knowledge and understanding is extensive and impressive. He was also wonderful with my teenage daughter. He was straightforward, honest, and perceptive. The claim was resolved in a very positive manner; we couldn't be more pleased with the results and with our attorney.
