I don't think anybody wakes up and expects to need an attorney. This is the first event in my life where I required legal assistance, and Mr. Ricciardello was recommended to me. Sincerely, I could not have asked for a better attorney. Not only did he handle my case with professionalism, but you can tell that he is the person that truly cares about the people that he serves. He went above and beyond for my case, and would even reach out just to make sure that I was okay. I highly recommend him to anybody seeking legal aid. From this company, you will not only receive the best legal results, you will also get a sense of honesty, and dependability, and true care for you as a human being fighting through hardships.

Mr. Ricciardello was excellent. He was prompt in receiving and returning my phone calls. He helped me through a very difficult time. He really cared about my case, my situation and me. You could tell by how hard he worked to achieve the amazing result.

My experience with Mr. Ricciardello and Mr. Dematteis was beyond my expectations. It's never fun to have to retain an attorney, but the result that was obtained mate it all worth it. Also, both attorneys were easy to get ahold of and very honest and professional. I would recommend them to everyone who needs an attorney.

Mike Ricciardello represented me twice this past year. Mike was always there to answer any questions I had and was determined to exicute the most desirable plan of action. With his forward approach, Mike worked with swift action to obtain the desired result. There is a reason I requested Mike's support a second time, a great working relationship, and an keen ability to obtain the results desired. Thanks again Mike.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard pricing system varies depending on the case. However, it usually starts $2,000 for a misdemeanor and $4,000 for a felony. Depending on how low or high severity of the misdemeanor or felony those prices go up or down. I also offer competitive payment plans and am more than happy to work with you so that you can retain an attorney that will fight for you for a reasonable price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The typical process starts with speaking with the client. At this point I will decipher what their legal issue is. If it is a criminal charge, I always ask if they have a prior criminal history and whether they have been arraigned or if there is a warrant out for their arrest. If there is a warrant I will contact the Court where the warrant derived from. I then will set a time to walk my client in to Court so that they are not arrested out of the blue. This causes a lot of anxiety and just clearing the warrant (the fear of arrest) brings some relief. At this point, the case starts and the new client and I will have discussions regarding their expectations and facts and circumstances surrounding their case. This allows me to develop a sound trajectory for the direction of the case, which helps in achieving the very best result.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Law School for 3 years after my 4 year college degree. In law school I participated in the criminal trial clinic which put me in court nearly every day early on in my studies. Also I took as many trial courses as I could to hone my courtroom skills. I also did two internships at prosecutors offices as to give me an objective view of the other side of the coin. Since graduating law school I have been a practicing attorney and have appeared in nearly every jurisdiction in Michigan. This has allowed me to forge relationships and learn the Courts procedure which is imperative in helping a client achieve their goals.
