"We just had a consulting session with Rick. He's very professional, organized and helpful. We are just trying to evaluate our risk of being sued due to a recent accident.

I would not hesitate to recommend him...

"My husband and I were involved in a head on collision while on our way to New Mexico.

"I was involved in an accident with another driver who was intoxicated and rear-ended me from behind at a stoplight.

"On June 15th I was driving home from work around 5:30. I turned right onto FM 1626 off of Brodie as I do every day. I was headed up the hill towards Bliss Spiller as a silver car flew across the road, directly in front of me. Though I slammed on my breaks it was too late, and I ran into the other car. Apparently there was an SUV behind me who swerved left to avoid rear-ending my car, who...
