A couple of years later, I was contacted by a lawyer because the friend wanted to sell the property. I reached out to Lawvex for help. After paying about $800, I was told the will wasn't clear and that I basically had no rights to the property unless I wanted to challenge it. That would mean involving my siblings and going through another legal process that would cost thousands of dollars. In other words, if I didn't have that kind of money, they couldn't help me. Thank God I listened to His voice and continued to show up to court on my own, even without representation. The judge immediately recognized that I did in fact have rights to the property, and in the end I inherited a portion of the sale. No thanks to Lawvex--thanks to the judge (and God).

When we spoke on the phone he was very professional and a calming force during this storm. He would investigate all of my questions and not brush them off. Ben - We did not have the pleasure to work with Ben for too long but during our short time together he did make us feel confident in our representation. I like that he was able to keep us pointed in not just a win but the total outcome of the case. To listen to us vent, he never made us feel unheard. We appreciate his willingness to take this on so late in the case. He stayed level headed and his demeanor was exactly what we needed. Also working with Mr Webb directly was a wonderful experience. He is extremely intelligent and not easily fooled by the silly games others like to play. He always had our back and best intentions for us.

I was so friggen madd the day that I went into this office, (yes that is two D D s) I mean the kind of mad that makes going postal look like duck duck goose, Mr Ibarra took me in a room, and let me just say this, it was hard to stay mad for long periods of time. Instead of taking offense to my sense of humor that usually only I understand. Mr Ibarra did not take it personal. He actually liked my humor and laughed at all the appropriate times. Which tells us one of two things, either he is lucky and nods his head and smiles at all the appropriate times OR He is actually one of us. Meaning that he gets it and he does care. From the moment I walked into that office. Either they knew that I was a loose cannon and I could be instrumentally dangerous or he really did take a personal interest in my case. Neither here nor there. He never let another phone call slip through the cracks. HE fought for me tooth and nail and I believe that if the system would not have had me in a position, as they do with everyone, where I was starving and almost homeless, he would have gotten a lot for me. He did the best could with the situation that was in front of him. Since my case, David did not throw me aside, like a pile of trash unlike my former company that I had devoted my life too. Instead, he picks up the phone through his busy day. He really does care. Im not advising you to go crazy and do what I did, it doesn't work for everyone. You have to have the look like I do for it to work :) But you can know that Mr Ibarra is the shizneck and I absolutely think that he rocks like Slayer. Thank you Mr Ibarra . I think Mr Goldberg should be grateful and thankful that he has this gentleman on his team and everyone should take some pointers from him. I also wanted to say thank you to Mrs Mena who is the paralegal at this law-firm. She is truly the "Rice: behind the President. We all know that when rice stood behind silently the president all those years that she was calling the shots. Well Mrs Mena, you too, rock like slayer! They are nothing without you and you deserve a raise. :) Tell Goldberg I approve it and you should see it on your next paycheck. ;) Have a great day, Deborah Shipp

I didn't want a random lawyer just because that person willing to take over my case. In addition, I am paying double because my new lawyer had to learn my case all over again which was not free.

Considering you're going through, probably the worst period of your life and the most vulnerable. Rick will not only not hear you out, but if you have insane evidence like I did he won't show it in court and blame it on you. Example, I had video proof of abuse on my own children and written proof but yet it wasn't ever shown in court to the judge. I could give tons of examples just about Rick, but this would become a novel not a review. But also The staff is absolutely horrible, rude, could care less and give you extreme attitude when you're at the most vulnerable time dealing with your children. I usually don't write reviews, but if I could save one parent from the absolute nightmare I went through with this law firm it was worth it. Also, he wanted to charge me more than $10,000 for absolutely nothing and still wanted to charge me more to present the same evidence I showed him when I first looked him up. This law firm will just drain you for all your money without any outcome. Literally at the end of the case I was exactly where I started, and I could've done on my own probably better ! His secretary is probably the rudest woman I've ever known, and what you get for over $10,000 is speaking with Rick a few times at Tops and you have to fight just to speak to your own attorney for that much money so you're mostly speaking with his secretary thats insanely rude during the whole time. so you're pretty much paying $10,000+ for a paralegal. I was hoping to find an attorney with good ethics and that cared for father's rights, and I got the complete opposite and also found out at the end of my trial that Rick and the other attorney of the mother that was abusing my children with the stepfather that actually hit my children Was going on vacation with each other. So not only did I get screwed but come to find out during the whole time both attorneys knew each other on a personal basis, the other attorney was Arnold also here in Fresno. I hope he goes out of business or retires because he obviously doesn't care about his clients anymore. so once again don't walk away from this attorney run! I would give my life in a heartbeat to choose another attorney and do the fight all over again to get my kids back. ‍ I hope this saves and helps some parent looking for justice for their children. if you ever watch the movie "law, Biden Citizen", and the first part where the person that's supposed to be defending, you shakes the hand of the person taking away your children that sums up Rick Banks! And if you're a father and live in California, everything weighs against you, he will not fight for you. He'll take a vacation with the person taking away your children. Funny part and the only funny part is we had a different Attorney with my stepdaughter, and we almost got full custody plus we could've had her full-term but we decided it's our child's decision not to have her father and her life when she gets older. Because we believe every child has the right to decide if they don't want that person in their life. plus I have a son that we have 100% of the time‍ but yet with my two oldest daughters, the dirtbag couldn't show the video that showed my children getting abused in court because that would cost another probably 10 grand. to sum it up if you want father right in California do not go to Rick Banks.

My family's interactions with this attorney during matters related to my 92-year-old grandmother's…read moresurvivor trust were a very difficult experience for us. My grandmother had created a trust that allowed her to manage and use her assets during her lifetime in accordance with her own wishes. After she passed away, discussions arose during the administration process suggesting that some of her financial decisions may have been improper or unnecessary. From our family's perspective, we were not presented with documentation or clear supporting information that explained or substantiated those concerns. Hearing those types of statements about my grandmother after her passing was deeply upsetting to our family. She lived a long and honorable life, and because she is no longer here to explain the reasoning behind her financial decisions, it was painful to hear her judgment questioned in that context. The administration process also became longer and more complicated than our family had expected. As time went on, the prolonged nature of the matter created additional stress and increased expenses for our family during what was already an emotionally difficult period following the loss of our grandmother. Estate administration is often sensitive and emotionally charged for families. In my opinion, situations involving elderly individuals and their financial decisions should be handled with particular care and professionalism, especially when the individual is no longer able to speak for themselves. Clear documentation and respectful communication can make a significant difference for families navigating the loss of a loved one. I understand that attorneys must advocate for their clients and represent their client's interests. However, from our family's perspective, the overall experience made an already difficult time more challenging than it needed to be. This review reflects my family's personal experience during the administration of my grandmother's trust and the impact the process had on us.
