Rick joined LegalMatch in 2003 and has already tripled in revenue his LegalMatch membership fee. "I first thought of LegalMatch as a possible way of getting a client or two. I quickly found out that it is a great source of clients," says Rick. "These are clients who have a need and are looking for assistance. I've have great success engaging new LegalMatch clients not only locally, but from all over the nation, and even a few from outside the United States."

In addition to being a staunch advocate for his clients, Rick authors consumer-based articles in both family law and bankruptcy. He is often called on to give lectures and seminars on estate planning and the use of strategies that go beyond the “Living Trust.” An active member in his community, Rick keeps active in a number of fraternal organizations associated with the military, as well as the local Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the Military Affairs Committee and sits on many boards and sub committees for the Chamber.
