Anthony is very knowledgeable of every law! Outstanding in every way! Always kept us updated, always able to be contacted, and had a clear cut response to our case! Everything was completely dropped! We are so thankful for his service! Best Attorney we could have had! I highly recommend him!!! After such a difficult situation he made our life go back to normal! If you ever come across this attorney and are in need hire hire hire! You will not be disappointed!

Mr. Rickman was very professional, knowledgable, aggressive, prepares extensively and actually listens to his clients. He defended me as a part of "the me too campaign" where I was falsely accused of terrible allegations from an ex girlfriend that I broke things off with. Mr. Rickman was able to get this lawsuit dismissed the morning of the hearing. He was so prepared and because of his true believe that in myself and his clients he worked hard for my and his clients best interest. I highly recommend him! Thanks Anthony PC

Anthony is one of the best attorneys in Florida. He is extremely compassionate and caring for his clients. He has helped me on some criminal cases, and a couple of my friends on some pretty heavy cases as a trial attorney. He also got a friend off completely on a DUI. The outcomes were better than expected. He communicated with me and answered all the questions i had. He did the same for 2 of my friends on smaller cases. I have unfortunately had to use legal advice quite a few times, and i couldnt recommemd a better attorney than Anthony. Thanks again!

I can’t say enough about Mr. Rickman. One of my best choices in life was choosing Mr. Rickman to represent me for a false battery charge brought by my now ex-wife who wrongfully accused me to gain an advantage in the divorce and take full and immediate control of all the marital assets. Thanks to Mr. Rickman all the charges were dropped and he is personally hand holding the expungement of the arrest record that potentially could prevent me from working in my profession of 30 years at another firm in the future. Through the course of these proceedings family heirlooms from 1917 were held by the sheriff – Mr. Rickman personally walked through the process to have the items safely returned to me. While the court process is painful and the past 3 years have been rough the whole journey has been far easier having Mr. Rickman by my side. He is smart, aggressive and best of all responsive – he always either answered my call or returned it the same day. You can’t go wrong with having Mr. Rickman on your team.

Two years ago my son was charged with Murder second degree. My family's life changed in an instant. On a Saturday morning I was faced with the emergent task of trying to retain attorney services. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I knew that my son needed to have representation ASAP. I prayed about the whole situation, and begged GOD for guidance, and then I made 30- 40 calls. I was then challenged with many closed offices, and promises of return calls. within a few minutes of calling Rickman I received a return call. I told Rickman the story as it was told to me. On a saturday morning before any payment was exchanged, he began the to collect all the information that he could get from the witness , visited my son, and even went to the site of the shooting to understand all the events of our nightmare. I was provided his personal cell number and he constantly updated me with anything new on his case. I could go on forever as to how much assurance he continuously provided. The end result was jury trial with a NOT GUILTY verdict. I am eternally grateful. Rickman is tenacious, knowledgeable, eloquent, and a force to be reckoned with in the court room. He promised me that he would be able to look my son in the face, and with all honesty be able to say he did his best, and that is what we got . THE BEST!

Anthony Rickman was one of the many attorneys I had the pleasure of defending me here in Tampa. I'm not proud of that, but hey things happen and you can't always control it. In this case I was facing a felony charge and was obviously scared to death, I wondered who I would call because I was never satisfied with the outcome of past attorneys I had used in Tampa previously. Don't get me wrong they'll fight for you but there fight is weak compared to Anthony Rickman!!! They don't fight for the best result, they fight just enough for it to be ok and to see u content with the outcome. NOT Anthony, he goes above and beyond to assure that you (the victim) gets all possible charges dropped no matter the fight. He at all times reassured me everything would be ok and was always around to answer if I had any questions or worries, which meant a lot to me because like everyone eles you always predict the worst thing possible happening for an outcome. Not with Anthony Rickman! He was persistent, efficient, straight to the point, reliable, determined, easy to get along with, and the best part was he took care of me as if it were his own case he was dealing with. so if your questioning who's the best attorney in the Florida area, you found him!!

Determined, aggressive, straight shooter, focuses on the goal of your case and let's nothing get in the way; but a positive outcome. Provides clients with his personal cell phone, I had constant contact with Anthony the entire process of my case ,he responds promptly to questions via text. Anthony put the state attorney on speaker phone and allowed me to hear him fighting for me while the state uttered B.S.; this allowed me true confidence that this man was fighting for me. At one point during the case the firm put two attorneys on my case at no additional cost to me. A true legit trail lawyer in tampa. Anthony has flipped his aggressive nature as state attorney / into an outstanding criminal defense attorney that wins at the end of the day.

What do you call 500 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? A good start. THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVED UNTIL I MET AND HIRED MR. RICKMAN. I AM 64 YEARS OLD AND HAD HIRED MANY ATTORNEYS OVER THE YEARS FOR ALL SORTS OF CIVIL AND CRIMINAL MATTERS. I WAS ALWAYS OVER PROMISED AND UNDER DELIVERED. THE PAST ATTORNEYS NEVER FOLLOWED THE GAME PLAN FOR THE CASES AS NEEDED. ANTHONY RICKMAN APPROACHED MY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASE WITH THE SECURED FACTS, CAME UP WITH A DEFENSE THAT HE FELT WAS THE BEST FOR MY SITUATION AND NEVER WAVERED FROM THE GAME PLAN TO MAKE HIS LIFE EASIER OR TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK. HE TOOK MY INTEREST AS PARAMOUNT AND CHARGED FORWARD RELENTLESSLY. HE FOLLOWED THE GAME PLAN WITHOUT ANY CHANGE OF COURSE. ANTHONY, BECAUSE OF HIS KNOWLEDGE AND PERSONAL ETHICS, NEVER MADE A PROMISE OF OUTCOME, BUT PROMISED TO APPROACH THIS CASE FROM ONE DIRECTION. HE GOT ME RELEASED IN UNDER 24 HOUR ON MY OWN RECOGNIZANCE, AND CHARGES DROPPED BEFORE THE ARRAIGNMENT. I BELIEVE THAT MR. RICKMAN AND HIS STAFF TO BE THE BEST THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED IN MY 64 YEARS.

I am a middle aged professional who was arrested in an aggressive sting operation. I was charged with two misdemeanors. This was my first arrest and I am not from Tampa. Saying this, I had absolutely no idea who to call. The morning after the arrest I researched defense attorneys and leaned heavily on reviews while making my decision. I am happy that I found many reviews on this site and that I hired Anthony. Anthony and Holli were absolute professionals and were very proactive with my case. During my initial conversation with Anthony, he listened to my account and quickly communicated two defense positions. Upon further conversations he predicted the outcome of my case. Rightfully so, he was careful to preface his prediction upon my account of the events being true, but he was confident in his position. He backed up his prediction with legal precedent and his experience in similar cases. His confidence was not fabricated… it was the confidence that comes with years of experience in the court room. I hired Anthony that morning and he entered a formal “not guilty” plea within 15 minutes. Later that day he proactively notified the states attorney office that he wanted to speak with them before assigning my case. Later that same week he had a call with states attorney office and spent more than an hour with the attorney who was responsible for assigning my case to a prosecuting attorney. Anthony communicated a three page case study supporting our defense. This step was not successful and they ultimately assigned my case to a prosecutor… however, Anthony’s argument was elevated to a supervisor and set the record that we were prepared to aggressively defend our position. I firmly believe that this first week of a well thought out, proactive and aggressive defense set the ultimate dismissal of my charges into motion. The case was ultimately assigned and Anthony gave me a short list of information to provide. I did this and Anthony did the rest. I never even went to court. In short, after 60 days of waiting and having my case shuffled to three different prosecuting attorneys, Anthony was successful in securing an unconditional dismissal of the first charge, and a conditional dismissal of the second charge. I am now 45 days into a 90 day conditional period for the second charge. I already satisfied very manageable conditions and am simply waiting for the 90 day period to end. At this time, Anthony and Holli will expunge the charges from my record once and for all! In summary, • I am a professional person that was charged with two misdemeanors as part of an aggressive sting. • 90 days later the charges have been dismissed and I am 45 days away from having my record expunged. • I am 100% confident that I am in this position because I hired Anthony. On a personal note, Anthony and Holli treated me with respect and dignity. They did not cast judgment and focused on the task at hand. I paid for a professional defense and they supplied a professional defense, prompt communication, dignity and a dismissal of the charges. I could not be more satisfied. I went into this “thinking” that I made the right choice. Now, with the benefit of hindsight… I “know” that I made the right choice. If you need a defense attorney… you need to hire Anthony. Period.

I hired Mr. Rickman for 3 felony counts in which I was facing very serious repercussions. Through the whole case Mr. Rickman did a very good job of explaining things to me, giving me updates and keeping me calm. Not only did Mr. Rickman succeed in getting my charges dropped but he was also able to make me feel comfortable throughout the whole very scary process. I would recommend him to anyone and I am grateful for his services.
