I hired Eric Ridley as my attorney because his website made the bankruptcy process seem simple and straightforward. Unfortunately, my personal experience was very different. A large portion of my debt came from my son’s high school football injury and his seizure disorder, so I was already overwhelmed and going through one of the most stressful periods of my life. Instead of receiving the guidance I desperately needed, most of my case was handled by an out-of-state paralegal, and the process dragged on for over a year. The one time I spoke with Eric directly, he made a comment suggesting I “cut off” my 16-year-old son because his medical bills were too high. As a single mom with no second parent involved, I was devastated. I had no idea how I was supposed to simply stop supporting my child. That conversation left me in tears, and I eventually reported my concerns to the California Bar. Eric agreed to reimburse part of the fee I had paid. In my opinion, bankruptcy representation requires compassion, clear communication, and hands-on guidance—especially for clients dealing with medical-related debt—and I did not feel I received that. Switching attorneys was the best decision I made. I hired Karen Grant, who immediately fixed the issues, communicated professionally, and had my case filed within a month of our first meeting. This review reflects my personal experience, and I hope it helps others who may be searching for the right attorney during an already difficult time.

Thank you so much, Sarah, for taking the time to share your experience. I truly appreciate your trust in my services, and I'm grateful for your feedback. Your story highlights the importance of compassion and clear communication, and I'm thankful for your contribution to help others make informed choices about their important matters. Clearly, you were dissatisfied, and that is never my goal. This is clearly not the norm for my level of service, and something I never want people to leave with.

Worked tirelessly with us until the Trust was completed in a short window of time. I recommend Ridley law to put your fears to rest when you need a Trust, and someone to explain the process.

I was looking for a lawyer to help me and my wife create a Power of Attorney, but we didn’t know where to start or what we needed to do. After speaking with Eric on the phone, he was very helpful and gave us clear legal advice that made everything easy to understand. He helped us complete our Healthcare Power of Attorney, Power of Attorney, and Will, all while we were in a time crunch. We really appreciate his professionalism, efficiency, and the effort he put in to make sure everything was done right. We highly recommend his services!

This review is long overdue! I first found Eric on Reddit (he did an AMA and was extremely knowledgeable and impressive). We had previously completed a trust through LegalZoom, but it didn’t feel like enough to truly protect our family in a worst-case scenario. Eric and Spencer were fantastic to work with and provided incredible value throughout our estate planning process. They will be life-long partners in supporting and protecting our family with professional, trustworthy advice. When we signed our documents, even the notary commented that we definitely got our money’s worth for the amount of work and detail involved! Thank you, Eric and Spencer!

His personalized approach made us feel confident and at ease throughout the entire process.

Eric’s commitment to transparency, with no confusing legal jargon, and his "no-billable-hour" model made the experience both accessible and stress-free.
