"Leah had been recommended to us and she more than met our expectations. Both Leah and her admin support staff were a pleasure to deal with.

"We went to see Leah & Gia when medical circumstances changed for our dad and he was no longer capable of looking after any legal issues. The staff at Fulton were amazing.

They gave Mom excellent advice and she said it felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her. The entire staff were truly amazing - very professional, knowledgeable, caring and genuinely interested in what was happening with our mom and family. After mom updated her documents, I also decided it was time for me to see Leah & Gia to update my documents as well. I have already referred several people to Fulton and will continue to do so. " - D.C.
"Leah is prompt on all responses whether by email or by phone, and courteous and respectful. It has been a pleasure getting to know Leah and having her look after my legal requirements - I will continue to use this firm and Leah for all my legal matters in the future.

It is no wonder many of Rick's clients feel more like family than clients. More than a few of his clients have been with him for well over 25 years. Whether it is through work or play, Rick's easy going style wins over most people before they even know they wanted to be won over. We asked his secret and he says he doesn't know how to be any different.
On his way to becoming a lawyer, Rick applied his "trade" as a journeyman electrician (yes his puns are that bad in real life too). Drawing from his experience in the construction industry, Rick feels better "tooled" (there he goes again) to help his clients with business needs as diverse as Air Space Parcel real estate developments and Search and Rescue leasing requirements. As our senior solicitor he has not yet accepted the fact that he is the "senior" solicitor - he says he still feels like he is 30 and continues to play like he is in order to prove it (luckily for him we have a good health care plan).
For those of you who have never thought of volunteering for charitable organizations, just rethink, because Rick's volunteering has taken him to Africa - four times.
In his free time, you will probably find Rick on or near a golf course (he lives at one), chasing the ever elusive goal of improving his golf game.
