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.

My family's interactions with this attorney during matters related to my 92-year-old grandmother's…read moresurvivor trust were a very difficult experience for us. My grandmother had created a trust that allowed her to manage and use her assets during her lifetime in accordance with her own wishes. After she passed away, discussions arose during the administration process suggesting that some of her financial decisions may have been improper or unnecessary. From our family's perspective, we were not presented with documentation or clear supporting information that explained or substantiated those concerns. Hearing those types of statements about my grandmother after her passing was deeply upsetting to our family. She lived a long and honorable life, and because she is no longer here to explain the reasoning behind her financial decisions, it was painful to hear her judgment questioned in that context. The administration process also became longer and more complicated than our family had expected. As time went on, the prolonged nature of the matter created additional stress and increased expenses for our family during what was already an emotionally difficult period following the loss of our grandmother. Estate administration is often sensitive and emotionally charged for families. In my opinion, situations involving elderly individuals and their financial decisions should be handled with particular care and professionalism, especially when the individual is no longer able to speak for themselves. Clear documentation and respectful communication can make a significant difference for families navigating the loss of a loved one. I understand that attorneys must advocate for their clients and represent their client's interests. However, from our family's perspective, the overall experience made an already difficult time more challenging than it needed to be. This review reflects my family's personal experience during the administration of my grandmother's trust and the impact the process had on us.

We had to try twice to get the child back, once the CPS case closed. The first time, the judge was new and hesitant to flip custody. However, Dushawn fought and was able to get it back to 50/50 with weekend visits. The second time, with the child's testimony, he felt it was a good idea to pursue a restraining order instead. He became both my advocate and my child's, at this point. He was able to convince dad to do a custody modification (including to dad get the help he needed too) and we closed the restraining order. After nearly a year and a half of fighting, my child was safe and home. The system failed him, but Dushawn didn't! For this, I am extremely grateful for him and everything he has did. He did not over charge, either. I probably underpaid him, honestly. I definitely recommend him and will only go back to him. My advise is to open up with him. He will do everything, but you have to be honest. The more he knows, the more he will help you. Every case is different and there is always options.

At first it was very difficult to choose because it seems there were a lot of good ones out there, but when you read all the great reviews left for Mr. Waddell, it just made sense. I feel very blessed that I chose Fear Waddell to represent myself and grateful to all that left all those reviews to help me make the choice I made. Mr. Waddell and his staffs made you feel welcome right away and have your best interests is how I felt during my first meeting. I did not hesitate in making my payment at that very first meeting. I can honestly say, it is worth every penny and more. I expected the case to take 3 or 4 months. Mr. Waddell advised that I waited and waited and waited until it was the best time for my situation to meet the criteria to file, for my best chances to accomplish my goal of fully discharging my entire debt. What should have been a 3 or 4 month process ended up lasting an entire year. So really, the payment was all worth it. You will be working mostly with Kayla but Mr. Waddell is well informed the entire time until your case is ready to be filed. Any questions you do have are usually always responded to on the very same day. I am grateful to Mr. Waddell and his entire staffs for giving me a fresh start. Bankruptcy isn't easy, so choosing the right attorney will make all the difference in the world. If you are going through this, it doesn't hurt to schedule a meeting with Fear Waddell Law Office, you won't regret you did, and God Bless.
