Ric was a godsend in my divorce. It was a complicated and difficult process that Ric guided me through with compassion and experience. Ric helped me settle my divorce with always responding quickly, assuring me that the noise coming from opposing counsel was nothing to worry about. He expertly handled a hearing that resulting in a favorable judgment. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a divorce. His expertise and professionalism is appreciated and provided an excellent outcome.

Ric represented me in the hardest easiest divorce ever. He is a very detailed, tactful and diplomatic negotiator. He’s also a great litigator in court and aggressive to protect his clients. Ric is well versed in the science of people, he understands when to respond vs when to sit back. When the other party filed frivolous motions and requested hearings of the same he was a voice of reason for me. In those hearings he was as sharp as razor blade. I’ve seen him outshine two other highly rated attorneys through the 18 months that he represented me. He is well prepared! His legal advice is straight

Ric has helped me so much since 2018! He guided me through every step in the process of my divorce and custody plan. He is extremely responsive and always offers knowledge on how he thinks you’ll get the best results. I immediately went back to Ric when I needed to modify my time sharing plan, and again he was nothing shy of amazing. Everything is done in a timely manner and explained thoroughly. I cannot recommend Ric enough!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Eric Woodward. In most cases when you need an attorney things are not good. In my case, I was dealing with my wife who left me, took my kids out of state to Florida and then filed charges of domestic violence and child abuse against me. I was naturally very frightened for the fate of my relationship with my children and my freedoms. I had to search online for a lawyer since I do not live in Florida. I contacted a few offices after hours. Mr. Woodward replied the very next day. He spent time discussing my case with me and explored the possibilities

Ric uses his years of service and experience to deliver the highest quality of attention, organization and knowledge to each case. He made me feel as if he was fighting for his own family and children as he stood up for my rights as a father. He did this showcasing the utmost level of professionalism and walking in integrity, though I once believed to be impossible if I was to ever deal with an attorney. Ric made sure to maximize the use my finances and I never felt in the dark or not communicated with. Divorce is definitely an unfortunate outcome, but if you have to go through what I did, I strongly

Ric represented me through mediation and my divorce settlement agreement in 2018. We achieved a great outcome. After one year, my ex was not following the agreement. He helped me to file a motion of enforcement and represented me both as the petitioner in my motion and as a respondent to an additional motion filed by my ex. The outcome was as good as it could possibly be. He is responsive, honest and fair in his pricing. He provides detailed monthly accounting and he truly cares. He will give you honest and straight forward advice and his experience speaks volumes. He is not an emotionally driven
