Cons
1
Lack of communication and responsiveness from attorneys
“I never heard from him there were long wait times for the paralegal to contact you. My phone number was blocked I called from other numbers they block them as well. Unresponsive staff unless its about billing you.”
2
Mishandling of cases and failure to meet client expectations
“Mr. Ritchie's disorganization and apparent bias towards me never returned my phone calls nor emails. When I email Mr. Ritchie's asking him to file a motion to mofity the original order. I never heard from him there were long wait times for the paralegal to contact you.”
3
Excessive billing and hidden fees
“If a lawyers says their first duty is to the court that means you should run! Don't be to quick to hire an attorney, look around ask questions because lawyers like these will backstab their clients!”
4
Lack of transparency and trust
“When I hired Mr. Derek Ritchie's he stated he knew the Judge in courtroom 307 also that his neighbor was best friend with the Judge in 307 and would have my grandson back in my home in 6 months. If not we would do a press conference! Which never happened”
5
Unprofessional and dismissive staff
“The paralegal I spoke with was not helpful whatsoever, did not listen to my concerns and did not provide sound advice.”
