“Basically I was hit by two vehicles. I was hurt and really confused about what to do. Both the vehicles that hit me fled the scene and I didnt even think I had a case! But thanks to Rico Lively I was reassured in this process and given the opportunity to recover my losses. Thank you so much. I will refer as many people as I can to you and your firm. I never had an issue with communication and was always kept abreast of all proceedings.”
“I obtained Rico Lively's services in 2021 for a slip & fall that resulted in me having two surgeries. After having a few conversations with him on the phone, I knew I was dealing with a straight shooter who knew his field very well. Throughout the process Mr. Lively was compassionate, always kept in tough with me to let me know what was going on. I had lawyers in the past for a car accident and they could use more schooling from Rico. Rico is truly a diamond in the rough. You'd be silly not to get his services if you're injured. He truly understands these cases & 100 % will fight for you until you get what you deserve. He did it for me and delivered my check today. I can honestly say I am very happy with my amount. It was bittersweet to say goodbye to him today. I wanted to keep him for life and guaranteed I will go back running to him if I ever need his services again. I have already told friends in my area about him. He is worth every penny. He left an amazing impression on me. I will never forget his professionalism, kindness etc. He is an all around great human. Highly recommend!!!!! 100%”
