On March 2nd 2025 I was involved in a auto accident that had me rushed to UC Hospital ICU with life threatening injuries, massive blood loss(3 units), along with many broken bones, like my femur snapped in two. The other driver was at fault and unfortunately had sub-par auto insurance. From that very night of the 2nd, Charlie Rittgers, Rose Courtney, Jack Specht and their firm immediately got to work on my situation. I was in the ICU for 2-3 days, then the Surgical step-down unit for 8 days, then on to a rehab facility for 10 days. Rose checked in with me MANY times over that 3 week time period, and kept my mind at ease. In the end the bills alone were over $300K+, but despite everything Rittgers QUICKLY got the insurance companies to pay out in full with no fight. Charlie and his staff are now negotiating with UHC to reduce the amount I'd owe to my health insurance. To which I have the utmost confidence in Charlies firm. I can't recommend Rittgers enough, I'd give them 10 STARS!!
I cannot say enough incredible things about Attorney Steve Kilburn. From the very beginning, he treated my case as if it were his own. After being wrongfully arrested, everything was on the line for me, and Steve stepped in with unwavering professionalism, compassion, and expertise. He was attentive, caring, knowledgeable, and refreshingly realistic—never making empty promises, but always fighting relentlessly. He was always there when I needed him, taking the time to explain every step of the process and truly holding my hand through one of the most stressful experiences of my life. I never once felt alone or unheard. Steve poured his heart and soul into my case, leaving absolutely no stone unturned. When it came time to fight, he fought like a shark—especially during the motion to suppress, where his skill and preparation were undeniable. The result speaks for itself: evidence suppressed, case dismissed, and the judge explicitly stating that the officer had no probable cause. This outcome changed everything for me, and it would not have happened without Steve’s dedication and tireless advocacy. If you are looking for an attorney who is not only brilliant in the courtroom but also deeply invested in his clients as people, Steve Kilburn is the one you want in your corner. I am forever grateful.
I can’t say enough good things about my attorney, Steve Kilburn, and his assistant, Wendy. They went above and beyond in helping me settle my case, always keeping me informed and making sure every detail was handled with care. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication led to a very favorable outcome, and I truly felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Steve and Wendy to anyone looking for a legal team that genuinely fights for their clients.
Neal Shuett represented my case. He was very professional and modest. When it was his turn to speak he took control of the court room with ease. Stating facts and citing the law like an expert. I will not forget how much Neal helped me and will definitely retain the services of Rittgers Rittgers and Nakajima in any future situations I find myself needing an attorney.
ALL of the lawyers and staff here are excellent! Charlie, Matt, Lindsay, Justin, Gus, Jake, and Jack are brilliant, hardworking, and dedicated lawyers who truly are their clients' fiercest advocates. Every interaction I have had with them has reaffirmed for me that Rittgers only hires the best! Also, Rose and Adrian are impeccably organized, whip-smart paralegals who seem to know everything there is about how to run a law office. Thank you for everything!!
