My industry is very tricky when it comes to handling lawsuits. I went to many attorneys with my case which all said I have a strong one but they weren’t sure if they could do it because of location. When I was introduced to Ricotta & Marks, they asked me questions that no one else did, took their time to really investigate the evidence that I had and took me on as a client. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, and it was because they truly fought for me. They made me so comfortable through the whole process and I highly recommend them, I already have and those people thanked me!

I strongly recommend skipping this "law firm" altogether. The good reviews are for Vincent White and he is no longer partnered with them. Thomas "Tom" Ricotta is the shadiest attorney you will ever come across. Behind the scenes, he works for the employer. He will start off the consultation "listening to your case", which he schemes from the beginning on how he can scam you and make it work for him. He charges a lot of money upfront, then as soon as he is retained (hired), he becomes unavailable, does not answer phone calls, emails vague replies, kept me in the dark about anything happening on the case, communicated with my employer without my knowledge several times, acted annoyed when I demanded specifics of the calls with my employer, did nothing that I asked him to do regarding moving my case forward and was only in it for his own interests. He wanted me to settle extremely low. Recovered money to him means 40% tax free and who knows what else he is getting from the employer on top it. Our interests where not aligned, as he is not for his clients and have no interest invested in getting the outcome you desire. The moment I called him out on how unavailable he is, how he is keeping me in the dark and the lack of transparency and lack of communication leading to a lack of trust, he flipped on me. Had conversations with the employer and created an adverse affect. When I called his firm, a woman answered and laughed at me and said "nooooo" and hung up on me when I asked to speak to him. She giggled as she took down my name. You are better off representing yourself and protecting your own best interests then to hire Tom Ricotta who will not be for you at all. He preys on his clients. He is unethical, incompetent and has turned employment law into a scam. You would be better off representing yourself than to have Tom Ricotta anywhere near your case. If you have an employment matter that needs legal attention, I urge you seek out other employment attorneys. Do not even go for a consultation with Ricotta & Marks. Consult with as experienced and top rated employment attorneys (by their past clients) and get as many free consultations as hot can. Hear what each attorney is saying as a collective whole. Go for an attorney who you feel has your best interest and who you do not get any red flags from. Retain an attorney who does not take money upfront and works on contingency only. This means they only work for what is recovered - that is a win-win situation with no other invested interest. Tom Ricotta charges a significant amount of money upfront and has no intention to win your case. He is not worth $1 an hour but charges $500 an hour to work against you. I would say the same for Marks. "Birds of a feather flock together". I am willing to bet that is why Vincent White is no longer with them.

For some reason my case started out initially with Vincent White whom I really liked and was representationally please w/then I got switched over to Thomas Ricotta & my case went south & I did not win! I personally felt my case should've been sensationalized, simply because it was factually unique! I also felt during mediation, there should've been More display of vigeration! I later did my own research & I've found out the judge deciding my case, Have had/ may still have, economic associations w the very company & union, I was so suing (not 1, but both)! "Canon 3E(1)(b)/Rule 2.11(A)(6)(a))!" How can A judge decide on the case, when they have had past business endeavors/ involvement/ has Or have done favorable business w/the opposing party which you are suing! & it did not get discovered., until I did my own research & presented it for an appeal (which I was charged more money after discovery). The courts never admitted the judges economic association prior to any discovery, hearing, or presentations. I can accept or admit my flaw, but Tom never admitted his flaws of not knowing that the judge was involved with the opposing party & not recognizing that it was an unethical for the judge to be involved in any decision, because She was in business w/the people, who I was suing meaning actually earning money income or nonprofit affairs! I've should've mediated it harder for myself because it seem like I did everything by myself all he did was sign the paper to submit it which I probably could've save thousands if I did that myself. Always investigate the judge Or anyone who is associated w/your case if you're trying to sue. Never trust anyone but yourself when it comes to settling! Never trust the courts Period, they are for the corporations , Who lobby for them to get their seat in the court. Always ask for the name of the judge who is on your case, stay adamant about your case getting proper attention, whether its TV /news /social media do not rely on anyone to bring attention to your case but U the person who is trying to seek justice! Second if U have an attorney who has an answer to everything, you may want to seek other options cross because every case is not rock solid if there is any suspicion of fraternization! Be boisterous during mediation do not leave until you are sure that you have settled on some money! When it comes the big corporations do not trust the quest to let it go to trial you will be sadly mistaken if you trust the courts to uphold justice against a major corporation , The courts & the opposing attorneys play the waiting game within a time constraintsit is your job as the person who is suing to ensure that you oversee everything donot walk out empty-handed! When I won my chance to mediate an appellate ... I should've not walked out without taking the settlement , and trusting the court to uphold fairness and not violating ethics! I never figured the courts would rally by coercion and would've recognize an ethics violation judge Torres , was involved With, as a condition not to be hear by a jury! COERCION OF THE COURTS! So in the end the decision was all mine to trust the court when I shouldn't have trusted to courts after discovering the judges past business associations with the hospital I was seuing! Amazingly that Appellet Judge whom name I forgot ... Allowed to violation of ethics to continue by not granted me a case with a jury! Entire ethics violation and I spoke to many judges about it and my professors and they all said that case did not sound correct that it was an ethics violation" was wrong for not allowing me with all the evidence which was factual by the way cannot be heard by A jury so anyone who reads this blog please learn from situat always make sure you are fully involved and know every aspect of your case. I am not saying WRM is not good but on this case there were a lot errors overlooked! good luck with those who are trying to seek fairness and justice

This firm cares and knows how to properly assess the merits of your case. I know because I'm an attorney. I had retainer agreement offers from 4 other firms and Ricotta was my 1st choice based on their belief in my case and fair terms. Good people work here.
