“Good people work here.”
This firm cares and knows how to properly assess the merits of your case. I know because I'm an attorney. I had retainer agreement offers from 4 other firms and Ricotta was my 1st choice based on their belief in my case and fair terms.

“Your legal assistance has empowered me and has helped restore my sense of dignity”
Dear Thomas and Stephen,
I’m writing this letter to express my deep gratitude for your efforts on my case.
Two years ago, I faced distressing and unjust treatment at my former job. I felt powerless to do anything. For several months, my attempts to find a lawyer were unsuccessful and many doors were closed in my face by firms that felt my case was too inconsequential to take on. In the face of discrimination at work, this process added to my discouragement and I learned the harsh reality of the legal system: not everyone can get help. Sometimes injustices slip through the cracks.
Thankfully, I did find a silver lining. You accepted my case and over many months patiently endured this legal process alongside me, sacrificing your time and effort to achieve a favorable outcome. Your legal assistance has empowered me, a person who has been marginalized systemically many times before, to believe that justice can prevail. It has helped restore my sense of dignity and reminded me that I don’t have to be afraid to stand up for myself. It has permanently changed my life for the better.
As you continue defending other client’s rights, I hope you know the powerful and positive impact you are creating in their lives. I wish you both many blessings and continued success in your legal work.
With the deepest gratitude,
Thank you very much.
