Hired Attorney Ari Riekes

I highly recommend Ari Riekes. From our first meeting, he made me feel comfortable. He explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand. He was highly sensitive to my case but yet was totally upfront & honest about the possible outcome. He was always strategic, deliberate & thoughtful during the settlement negotiations & kept me well informed at all times. Ari was patient as well as determined. He has my eternal gratitude.
