Rick is the absolute best! If (like me) this is the first time you have needed a lawyer, it can be a very scary process. Rick was communicative, and honest about all proceedings and will work to get you the best outcome. He takes an interest in his clients and is dedicated to his work. You won't do better than Rick and his great team of paralegals. 5 stars.

Very good upfront prices and everyone there was very easy to work with, made the whole ordeal a breeze.

Rick is an easy to talk to guy and very helpful in offering solutions.

If you’re looking for a lawyer ricks your man. From day one till the end of your situation. I have so much appreciation for him and his team. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need.

Rick is absolutely THE BEST of the BEST!! He truly truly cares about you as a person and has you’re best interest at heart. His response time is out of this world, morning noon and night. He goes above and beyond!! Couldn’t recommend him enough!!!

Rick and his staff were great to work with from the very first meeting to the final resolution. He took the time to listen and made my daughter at ease that it would be ok. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic attorney! Fast working, easy to get ahold of at anytime!

The first thing I must say is I am beyond thankful to have stumbled across the incredible human being, Rick, who also happens to be one hell of a lawyer. There is no one I would recommend more as a lawyer than Rick and the firm itself (Universal Defense). If you’d like to read my long story book as to why, see below. Unfortunately, last year I found myself needing to find a criminal defense attorney due to unforeseen life circumstances. This was my first time in my adult life personally experiencing the state court system and I had no clue what to expect or how to navigate anything. I had paralyzing anxiety and nobody seemed to have any answer’s to help. After hours of online research, I ended up locating Universal Defense and many other offices so I called and left dozens of voicemails. (This was very late at night.) Rick returned my call quickly and took the time to explain to my clearly overwhelmed self what the next steps looked like. He was extremely empathetic and kind throughout the whole process. Rick treated my fiancé and I with the kindness you would expect from close family from day one. He always came to court prepared, well-dressed, and on time. Rick and his office team made sure we had all documents, courses, and court date information as needed. It was clear in court when representing us that Rick was very knowledgeably in regard to criminal law and court proceedings. He carries himself well within the court room and comes across charismatically to all parties. (Which is a phenomenal skill in the legal world, IMO) Throughout the whole court process, Rick was able to offer recommendations and file motions to remove a NCO ultimately leading to my family being reunited. I truly believe without Rick’s expertise and assistance I would still be fighting within the court system to have my family back together. Thankfully because of all the assistance of Rick and the Universal Defense team, I get to spend my nights at home cuddling my mini zoo (3 dogs and a cat) and my fiancé again. Forever grateful for the assistance of Rick and Universal Defense for helping me get my life back.

Used to be a client at one time

Perfect service, very pleased!

Rich was a great help and does a great job. Thank's again, much appreciated!
