My family had an unexpected job loss and we found ourselves unable to handle all of our bills on a single income. We had always prided ourselves on paying bills on time and having great credit. We spoke to a couple of Attorney's but it was not until I found myself in Richard Wests office, in tears, and he was telling me that everything would be ok that I knew that we had found the right Attorney. The staff at the office handled every email, phone call, question and concern with honesty and respect,

I hired Kate two years ago for a child custody case. I hired Kate after interviewing 5 other attorneys, my first impression was good. I mean that's why I hired her. I thought she could do a good job. Well was I wrong!!!!! Not I only did my ex win. I now only have the standard order of visitation. A little about me. I worked on WPAFB as a civilian, am in the airforce reserves, and have zero criminal background, I know help run my husbands company and stay at home with 2 month old baby girl. I plan to go back to school for nursing after my little kids are school age.
My Ex and I were never married but I moved here and stayed here so that my daughter could have a relationship with her father, I purchased a home here and gave up living close to my family for my daughter. I am an amazing mother. Kate lacked attention to detail, she was reckless, she did not communicate to me and could care less about my case. She messed up details that were pertinent to my case in court. She didn't try at all. She did not provide any important exhibits that I wanted submitted. The opposing attorney was well prepared and her lack of preparation was evident.
In the state of Ohio if a child is born out of wedlock, custody goes to the mother until custody is established. If the parties do not agree to sharred parenting the court will not order it. they are forced to pick a side. Because of Kate's actions or lack there of. I lost my case. I lost my daughter. I have standard order of visitation. (Even the GAL recommended whoever lost get above standard order because both parents were good and heavily involved)
Now the only way I can take him back is a change in his circumstances. I've spent over 30 k trying to clean up the mess that Kate created. Don't let that pretty face fool you. I waited two years to write this review. I was hurt and angry. I am a good mom and a hard worker. She has inflicted so much pain on my life by her lack of legal counsel. I hired her todo the most important job and she failed. I know she will read this review and come back and make excuses or say this isn't true. I have a court transcript that proves how poorly she did. I'm willing to let anyone read it. Because it was in juvenile court, it is not public record. I waited so long before writing this review because I give people a fair chance, I know people make mistakes. I just can't let another family go through what I went through. I don't believe Kate is a bad person, but I believe she has an important role in our society and I don't think she is cutt out for the job.

Rick West and his staff are outstanding. I found them to be very professional, compassionate, understanding and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend them if you need a bankruptcy lawyer who will also help rebuild your credit. Look no further - Rick West and his team are the best.

I couldn't sleep one night and Rick's commercial came on the TV. It was like a blessing. It was like a burden was lifted off of my shoulders. I got an appointment and after speaking to him I know I made the right choice. He is a wonderful man and his staff is so nice and warm. I am finally debt free and plan to stay that way. If you need a bankruptcy attorney ----- he is your man!

I have made several poor choices over the course of my life, but choosing the Richard West Law Office to handle my Bankruptcy was one of the wisest. How and Why this Registered Nurse managed to get himself into such a financial quagmire is a convoluted story that has little relevance to this review. What is important is that when I hit rock bottom and was finally ready to climb out, I knew I could not get back on my feet with ~$35,000 of credit card debt, unpaid bills, taxes owed on my foreclosed home and collection agencies breathing down my neck. When I first consulted (at no cost to me) with attorney West almost 2 years ago, we developed a plan and decided bankruptcy was not an option. My circumstances changed over time for the worse and I returned this last April. In every visit I was treated by Mr West and his staff with the utmost respect and educated but not judged for my poor financial choices. I think what initially inspired me to choose West Law Office was the focus on how to reestablish my credit after the Bankruptcy. As I understand it, almost any attorney can file and manage a straight forward Bankruptcy case but only a few help their clients to learn to responsibly manage their credit after the fact. Thanks to the great support and handling of my case by the very knowledgeable staff member assigned to help me through the process, the filing and hearing went very smoothly. I just started a new job and have the tools & knowledge I need to make me a responsible credit user. I have the opportunity to start all over fresh and could not be at this point, had it not been for Richard West and his staff. Thanks Rick!

Everyone was awesome! They really helped me. I would recommend Rick West and his office to anyone who needs help with debts and rebuilding their credit. I was impressed that Rick called me after the meeting to answer questions and he sent me his book on how to rebuild credit. Thanks, everyone!

We felt we had a unique situation and Mr. West's entire process was very reassuring and helped us navigate the many steps involved in filing a case.
Any questions I had were resolved very quickly and with complete understanding.

Mr. West repeatedly lied to us throughout and after our chapter 13 bankruptcy.
He cost my mother-in-law who had co-signed on a loan for us to have to pay Ford Motor Co. $10,000. He stated we could keep our house which we lost in year 3 of our chap 13 case. He is nothing but a crook. Don't go near him or his firm.
