“I found her to be very professional, easy to work with and will definitely recommend her to others.”

I have consulted with Rita on two separate occasions for guidance and advice as an employee who has had to navigate corporate non-compete agreements in order to maintain a clear path for future endeavors. Rita was able to answer my questions, educate me on my options and provide solid feedback and revisions to relevant documents. I found her to be very professional, easy to work with and will definitely recommend her to others.

“He helped make a very stressful situation manageable.”

I had to find an attorney to help me navigate the legal issues involved in selling my Mom’s house without a realtor. Mr. Riccardi was knowledgeable, helpful, available, and reasonable. He helped make a very stressful situation manageable. I appreciate all the help he and his staff gave me. Thanks, guys!!!

“All about the client.”

The best as well as the smartest decision I ever made. Rita Jackman and her team took on big insurance and got results. All about the client. Always available for me, any questions I needed answers. Did what was best for me, not themselves. Treated me with respect always had my family’s best interest in mind at all times. Never gave up and fought for my family. I recommend them to any family or friends.

“I placed my full trust in Rita and she delivered above and beyond.”

Highly recommend Rita Jackman! She was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful and confusing times. Never once did I have to worry about how to handle the next steps as she and her team kept proactive and helpful communication throughout the entire post-accident process. I placed my full trust in Rita and she delivered above and beyond. I will always be grateful for her and her team. Having the representation of Rita means that you are in fully capable hands. I was able to take care of my injuries, relax, and let her focus on the hard part! THANK YOU x1000! You will not go wrong with her representation.

“She has earned our loyal business.”

We were introduced to Rita Jackman by a friend over one year ago and she has represented us now 4-5 times. We just went through a lengthy litigation and I could not tell you how pleased I am that we chose her. She has earned our loyal business.
