Law Offices of F. Richard Ricketts, PLLC

"I have used Richard multiple times for family law. I have referred my family and friends to Richard as well. He is beyond amazing and will guild you ever step of the way. I am not sure what I would have done without him over the last 8 years. Thank you Richard!"

"Very unprofessional in emails took a long time to submit the paperwork to the court house. Never answered my calls when I specifically told him to call me instead of emailing me. I would suggest finding someone who won’t disrespect you over emails. He’s too scared to call back when you confront him about his unprofessional behavior. Keep your money and find a better lawyer. Richard I hope you see this and I will make sure to post those emails you sent me"

"Not good about passing information or making sure you received it. Slow about communicating information to both parties. Can not prove he sent something to you after sending nasty emails stating it’s not his responsibility to get you all the information. Has no problem charging you for the nasty email either. Even my ex asked what was taking so long with my lawyer to get information to hers. Makes decisions on his own without talking to you about them. Do not use him, go to someone else that will take better care of your situation. Not a professional lawyer in any way shape or form."

"Let me tell about a lawyer that doesn't listen to you. I called the office for an initial review of my case, and Richard did not let me explain my case. Always interrupting me like he didn't want to listen. The best part was then I said I'd like to start the intake process (aka PAY HIM TO REPRESENT ME) and he didn't hear it right because he cannot represent King county, only Pierce, and he simply HUNG UP on me. I left another message to him after, explaining the misunderstanding but he did not call back. If this is his behavior during a simple intake call, imagine how much worse it can happened when he is representing you."

"I wish I could say he did the same for me that some of the other reviews have noted but it was complete opposite. In our first meeting I felt confident Mr. Ricketts had mine and my child's best interests in mind but very quickly he showed the complete opposite. He did nothing but make my case worse. He never filed documents that were supposed to be filed, would never answer my questions or respond to phone calls or emails. In our last court date he had the same exact argument that didn't work the 2 court dates prior and when the judge asked him blatant obvious questions regarding the case he had to turn back to me for answers. He never met with me prior to the hearings to at least tell me what to expect before hand and catch up on what had been happening. In the end he caused me to loose visitation and I had retain a new attorney to fix what he messed up. Would not recommend him to my worst enemy. LOOK ELSE WHERE YOU WILL BE THANKFUL."
