Where Rick works
Rick's only office is 7111 N. Alpine Rd, Loves Park, and that is where you meet him. Cases from Rockford, Loves Park and the rest of Winnebago County are heard by the 17th Judicial Circuit in downtown Rockford. Cases from Belvidere and Boone County go to the Boone County Courthouse in Belvidere, in the same circuit. The Courthouses page lists each building.
How Rick works
Rick runs his own firm. The person you meet at the first consultation is the person who works on your case, goes to court with you and answers your calls.
In practice that means you tell your story once. When a court date moves or a letter arrives, the person you call already knows your file, and the advice you get comes from the lawyer who will act on it.
He talks plainly about your options and about what he does not know yet. He would rather tell you early that a step is risky than surprise you later.
The first conversation
Call the office at (815) 986-1569 and say in a sentence or two what happened. Rick listens, explains how a matter like yours usually moves, and tells you which deadlines he sees.
Bring every paper you have about it: court papers, a ticket, letters from the IRS or an insurer, the contract, an older will or power of attorney. Calling the office does not make you a client. That begins only when Rick agrees to represent you.
