Law Office of Rick Morin

Nothing but GREAT things to say about this attorney and his assistant. Rick make the process super simple and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He was really great about communicating everything to me and corresponding only when necessary. I have anxiety about things dealing with anything court related due to previous cases in family law, so having him there to reassure me was definitely great. He was really down to earth and super approachable. His services were affordable too! Wish I still had my ARAG coverage, but best investment I’ve made in a long time. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Rick Morin answers the phone himself, which is awesome. No playing phone tag or leaving constant messages. He is friendly and knowledgeable and provided me instant answers to my legal questions as well as some quick advice as to how to proceed.

Rick made my bankruptcy experience extremely easy and stress free! Upon our consultation, I immediately felt comfortable with him. All questions were answered and everything about the bankruptcy process was explained thoroughly and handled professionally.

Rick made my bankruptcy experience extremely easy and stress free! Upon our consultation, I immediately felt comfortable with him. All questions were answered and everything about the bankruptcy process was explained thoroughly. He (and Hilary in the office) were always very friendly. During my experience, the only thing I had to do was my credit counseling, everything else, including any filing of papers at the courthouse, was done by Rick. This was such a relief considering how hectic my life/​schedule was at the time. It was also comforting to be able to call, email or even text his office for any questions I had and I always received prompt replies with answers. I am so thankful I chose to work with Rick during this difficult time and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a bankruptcy attorney!
Thank you Rick and Hilary

Rick Morin is great! He is kind, patient and ensures that the prospective client as well as client understands their options to the fullest extent and follows up without delay. I highly recommend Attorney Rick Morin.

Definitely five stars! Rick made the whole bankruptcy process less complicated. He gave my husband and I the peace of mind we needed. He explained each step along the way. We highly recommend the Law Office of Rick Morin!

Bankruptcy is a daunting life step but Rick and Hilary made the entire process painless. I would recommend the Law Offices of Rick Marin to anyone thinking of taking this step. Rick walked me through the process step my step, and kept me fully informed througout. Thanks Rick!

This review is long overdue! My man Rick is the shii — taki mushrooms of bankruptcy law lol. Shiitake mushrooms are considered medicinal in some forms of traditional medicine… Rick was the medicine to my unhealthy debt and the cure to the toxic and sickening credit challenges I had gone through in my life, spanning over years as a result of the poor choices I had made in the past. Not only was Rick professional and courteous, his team and assistant Hillary in particular were amazing! Any questions and concerns I had through the entire process were answered and met to my satisfaction. There was never a question unanswered or concern not met. Rick was always straight forward and in constant communication with me. I felt secure and very comfortable, which was key considering this was my first and last bankruptcy. I’m confident it will be my only bankruptcy. Hiring Rick as my attorney not only gave me a chance at a fresh start, but he provided me with the knowledge and tools to prevent my credit from ever crumbling again! He genuinely had my best interest and I’m so appreciative for his services. Thanks again Rick and God bless!

I found Rick’s office through ARAG (legal group) and one of the main reasons I chose his office was that it was very close to where I work. I’m so glad I found his office because he is such a good guy and made the process for my situation very easy. It was definitely a pleasure to work with Rick and his assistant Hilary. They go above and beyond to maintain communication until the process is complete. I would recommend him to anyone that needs legal advice or representation.

Very affordable and with flexible payment plans, Rick and his team made my experience not only great in service, but they were very patient with me with payments as well. A+, ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

This review is a little over due. I had to deal with some unfortunate circumstances and was in need of a bankruptcy lawyer. I had heard about a couple of them through big ads and different friends. However, the one I ended up using and am very thankful I did was Rick Morin. From the time I was greeted by him and Hilary I knew I made the right choice. Rick didn’t treat me like a customer he treated me like a friend. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for getting me through a very tough time. He walked me through everything and even got in contact with me after my bankruptcy discharge to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. Great people. Thanks for the help!

After thinking about filing for bankruptcy for a few years, I finally made a decision and contacted Rick Morin. Rick made me feel less anxious and he was available to answer my questions. Rick and Hilary always maintained contact with me. They are very organized and on top of things. Rick does a great job of explaining the process. Im thankful that everything went really smooth.
I would, and have, highly recommend Rick Morin to others due to his professionalism, understanding and his support. Furthermore, Rick has a great personality and is very likeable.

After a year of collecting multi-​bills mostly due to medical and continuous borrowing to pay creditors, I realized that my situation would not improve If I continued this way.
i checked the yellow pages and I found Rick Morin’s ad and gave him a call. Having worked in customer relations over 30 years, I found Rick to have the empathy, patience and professionalism as he spoke in his calm voice which put me at ease. By the end of our conversation, I concluded that he was the attorney to help me with this issue.
We made an appointment to meet within a few days and he requested the necessary documentation related to my credit history. The day I arrived to meet with him, I was impressed by his firm’s beautiful office and how nice everyone was. He did the initial evaluation, and entered the data listed for each creditor. I was amazed by his efficient and organized manner in which he handled my case. He returned my documentation and told me that he would get back to me with a court date.
The good news is that my case was discharged, and it was all due to the expertise of «The Law Office of Rick Morin.»
«FIVE STAR»

I am very appreciate to Rick for taking the time to talk with me about my concerns. I felt very comfortable discussing a personal issue.

Let me tell you the story of two ADA cases. My mother owns a business that was sued recently by a drive by ADA lawyer. She freaked out because another similar business was also sued for similar ADA violations and his case was on-​going for several months before hers.
My mother asked me to research for defense lawyers because she knows that there are lawyers out there who’s sole purpose is to rip off their clients. Luckily, I found Mr. Morin from reading various ADA defense blogs. I am so glad we found him because he was excellent, quick, and conscientious. From the results, it is obvious that his expertise is ADA abuse defense.
In addition to his work and honesty, his fees were lower than other lawyers. The greatest thing about Mr. Morin is that he only charges what he works on. In interviewing various lawyers, the one thing we noticed consistently was that other lawyers charges more than twice as much for retainer fees as Mr. Morin. Moreover, these other «lawyers,» which I enclose in quotes because I believe they are not lawyers, but predators. They all insisted on charging the clients for work by more than one lawyer. ADA cases aren’t criminal defense, so why do they need to assign more than one lawyer to work on a case at a time? Simple, it’s because they can, and they will fleece you if they could.
The lawyers we interviewed and the one who represented the other business charged three times as much as Mr. Morin because they insisted on having multiple lawyers and a «helper» to work the case. It’s ridiculous but it’s true. Just pick up a phone and call around.
In the end, Mr. Morin settled our case quickly and at a fraction of the cost of what the other business eventually ended paying. We were only charged by Mr. Morin for actual hours worked and he even returned the excess of our original retainer fee because it was settled so quickly. We were shocked by how quickly our case settled and how little he charged (and how low the settlement was). He was fantastic and honestly could have doubled his fees and we would have gladly paid it. Mr. Morin may be one of the last honest lawyers in the business.
So how did the other business fare? The other business that was sued ended up paying in excess of fives the original retainer fee, due to having two «lawyers» and a «secretary» working on the case. In addition to the lawyer fees, they ended up settling the case for fives times what we ended up settling through Mr. Morin. How could the numbers be so different for similar ADA cases? That’s easy, we had a good lawyer and the other gentleman hired a bunch of sharks. You know what he told us? He said, «you get what you pay for.» Apparently, that’s true, but in reverse.
So to summarize, our case settled within two weeks versus two months for the other business. We got a refund of the partial retainer fee versus the other business paying 15 times as much (I’ll let you do the math). Our settlement fee was one fifth the amount that the other party ended up paying to settle their case. You noticed a theme here?
If you’re a victim of ADA lawsuit abuse, please be careful as you may be victimized twice, once by the ADA lawyer, and again by the so called «defense» lawyer. My mother received a letter from a defense lawyer offering his services before her lawsuit even arrived. How did this so called defense lawyer know that she was about to get sued? I suspect that they were in cahoots with each other. Most ADA lawsuits are scams to rip off business owners. Do not get victimized twice by unscrupulous lawyers, once by the ADA abuse litigator and again by the ADA defense «lawyers.»
One last note is that our business location is in Santa Clara even though Mr. Morin’s office is in Sacramento. We communicated via Email and phone. Don’t waste your time and money (and sanity) by going through a local lawyer who may or may not have your best interest. I know from experience that some lawyers see their clients as just a walking check book.
If you’re sued for ADA violations, do yourself a favor and call Mr. Morin.

Rick Morin has a professional demeanor which consists of a well established balance of proficiency and human understanding. His legal expertise and due diligence were greatly appreciated during our time of disconcert. His rates are reasonable and transparent. It is refreshing to contract with an attorney who does not nickle and dime his clients. We would highly recommend Mr. Morin to anyone who needs qualified legal representation or advice.

Well… we all know how tough it can be finding the right lawyer for a situation that none of us want to be in…
I was new to town and didn’t have much of a networking pool to ask around for some help and decided to use Unilocal to find someone to work with me through some legal stuffs!
I had my own «unique» legal issue that I won’t go into any boring details on but I was blown away at how professional and empathetic he was about my issue. He never made me feel like I was being judged or ignorant to what was going on. When I was wrong about something he told me so that I didn’t have unrealistic expectations and he never tried to overdo or upsell the reality of my situation.
He returned my calls immediately which I GREATLY appreciated as my case was time sensitive and either had an answer for my questions or got back to me right away with one. Realistically I expected to pay a lot more for his services because of the level of service I received, but found him to be very reasonable.
All and all I felt like he made me feel like my situation was as important to him as it was to me. Which says a lot in my book!!!
He’s a great guy and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in one of life’s pickles…

Rick is an excellent lawyer. He was very honest, upfront, knowledgeable and provided his services at a more than reasonable rate. We had a business law issue that required a contract to be drafted within a very tight time frame that he pumped out immediately for us. When issues came up that required revision to the contract, he made himself available to us throughout the evening through multiple iterations until all parties were satisfied with the final contract. On top of this, he is a kind person that is more than willing to explain legal matters to you in a way you will understand. Thanks Rick!

Rick is a great lawyer and very responsive. He always immediately returned my calls and answered my questions without using a lot of legal jargon. He solved my problem quickly and was clearly knowledgable about the law.

I have known Mr. Morin for several years now. During those years, Mr. Morin has proven himself to be professional and competent. He has an exquisite knowledge of the law and a work ethic that matches it. Thumbs up!
