So, I've had this firm representing me for almost two years now. We recently parted ways and I'm…read morebreathing a sigh of relief. When I needed to talk to my lawyer, it would take me months of emails and calls to him and his staff to make it happen. On more than one occasion, by the time I finally talked to him, it was too late because the situation I needed to speak with him about had passed. About a year and a half ago after a hearing, we were waiting to review an order that the other side was supposed to write. I called repeatedly asking if his office had received it and was always told no. I came to find out later that they had received it and two follow up letters from opposing counsel asking if we were finished reviewing it. They finally filed it without me being able to review it and I am still stuck to some of the requirements that should have been caught in review. The last straw was today when he accused me of not paying what I said I was going to months ago (the last time I was able to talk to him.) Even after I provided him the transaction number he still refused to admit that he was mistaken. If you are with this firm, start shopping now for a new one. If you are shopping for one now, do yourself a favor and move on. If you let this firm sell you on their services after reading this, don't say you weren't warned.

I do not recommend this office. Took my case but told me he couldn't help me after a month when I…read morehad a court. I am pretty sure he had a calendar for himself. If he knew he will be gone entire July, he shouldn't take any client. He did help me to find a new lawyer to take over my case but he needs to understand I did a lot research before I hired him because I thought he was a good lawyer in the area. I didn't want a random lawyer just because that person willing to take over my case. In addition, I am paying double because my new lawyer had to learn my case all over again which was not free. To me, he is not a responsible or dependable lawyer. At least, in my case.

Run don't walk from the worst attorney here in the valley! Rick Has a disconnection from his…read moreclients that is absolutely unreal! Considering you're going through, probably the worst period of your life and the most vulnerable. Rick will not only not hear you out, but if you have insane evidence like I did he won't show it in court and blame it on you. Example, I had video proof of abuse on my own children and written proof but yet it wasn't ever shown in court to the judge. I could give tons of examples just about Rick, but this would become a novel not a review. But also The staff is absolutely horrible, rude, could care less and give you extreme attitude when you're at the most vulnerable time dealing with your children. I usually don't write reviews, but if I could save one parent from the absolute nightmare I went through with this law firm it was worth it. Also, he wanted to charge me more than $10,000 for absolutely nothing and still wanted to charge me more to present the same evidence I showed him when I first looked him up. This law firm will just drain you for all your money without any outcome. Literally at the end of the case I was exactly where I started, and I could've done on my own probably better ! His secretary is probably the rudest woman I've ever known, and what you get for over $10,000 is speaking with Rick a few times at Tops and you have to fight just to speak to your own attorney for that much money so you're mostly speaking with his secretary thats insanely rude during the whole time. so you're pretty much paying $10,000+ for a paralegal. I was hoping to find an attorney with good ethics and that cared for father's rights, and I got the complete opposite and also found out at the end of my trial that Rick and the other attorney of the mother that was abusing my children with the stepfather that actually hit my children Was going on vacation with each other. So not only did I get screwed but come to find out during the whole time both attorneys knew each other on a personal basis, the other attorney was Arnold also here in Fresno. I hope he goes out of business or retires because he obviously doesn't care about his clients anymore. so once again don't walk away from this attorney run! I would give my life in a heartbeat to choose another attorney and do the fight all over again to get my kids back. ‍ I hope this saves and helps some parent looking for justice for their children. if you ever watch the movie "law, Biden Citizen", and the first part where the person that's supposed to be defending, you shakes the hand of the person taking away your children that sums up Rick Banks! And if you're a father and live in California, everything weighs against you, he will not fight for you. He'll take a vacation with the person taking away your children. Funny part and the only funny part is we had a different Attorney with my stepdaughter, and we almost got full custody plus we could've had her full-term but we decided it's our child's decision not to have her father and her life when she gets older. Because we believe every child has the right to decide if they don't want that person in their life. plus I have a son that we have 100% of the time‍ but yet with my two oldest daughters, the dirtbag couldn't show the video that showed my children getting abused in court because that would cost another probably 10 grand. to sum it up if you want father right in California do not go to Rick Banks.

A couple of years later, I was contacted by a lawyer because the friend wanted to sell the property. I reached out to Lawvex for help. After paying about $800, I was told the will wasn't clear and that I basically had no rights to the property unless I wanted to challenge it. That would mean involving my siblings and going through another legal process that would cost thousands of dollars. In other words, if I didn't have that kind of money, they couldn't help me. Thank God I listened to His voice and continued to show up to court on my own, even without representation. The judge immediately recognized that I did in fact have rights to the property, and in the end I inherited a portion of the sale. No thanks to Lawvex--thanks to the judge (and God).
