RiceLaw Review

Beth King did an amazing job handling my relocation case. She was very professional and empathetic about the entire situation. She s honest, caring, and definitely handles her business! Shannon, her legal assistant was such a pleasure to work with too. She was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Both ladies were so nice and professional and on top of everything, even during all this COVID nonsense. I m very grateful Beth King represented me, I would highly recommend her services!

Went to see one of the Attorneys there they took my money she told me she could help. And then sent me on my way, I m single mother of two children with a ex husband trying to take a house from her and his kids.. because I didn t . have much money. I needed help from this woman and all she did was take my money 150$ and didn t help me. That s what s lawyer offices this is...

I used attorney Philip Bonamo - Do your self a favor and hire this guy, you will be glad you did. Great staff to work with, always professional and to the point, Great Results! Best Attorney in town for Family Law!

Attorney Philip Bonamo is hands down the best attorney in Family and Criminal Law I have ever met. He handles cases in a timely and efficient manner. He is very empathetic and compassionate regarding certain situations.I highly recommend Mr. Bonamo without reservation.

Hiring an attorney is always a challenge. Especially when you not only don t live in the state but you have no idea who this person is and how well he or she is going to be able to handle your case. We always think that we are in the right and have been unjustly treated. In my case, it was my ex-husband who stopped paying me alimony.
After researching law firms online and a few follow-up phone calls, I chose the Rice Law Firm. I live in San Diego, Calif., and the firm in Daytona Beach, Fla.
My first encounter was with the paralegal, Ashleigh. She was concerned and a good listener with a calming voice. She was informative and reassuring that Mr. Bonamo could handle the case.
Mr. Bonamo was mindful of time, which equates to money, and very mindful of the charges. He told me what needed to be done and we moved forward. He guided me through the process and was always available for questions and explanations.
Jodi in billing notified me before the bill was due to double check how the bill would be paid.
The office communication with a client is paramount. This office really had excellent communication.
Not living in Florida, I was not sure how the mediation was going to go. The mediator, Pamela Masters Esquire, was a pleasant surprise. She is one smart lady who helped facilitate our mediation and navigate us to a resolution.
I am grateful for this team and I highly recommend them.

Philip Bonamo and Ashleigh Drexler both are great at what they do, they helped me all the way from the beginning to the end of my divorce. Kept me informed and looked out for my well being. On top of that they handled everything down in Florida without me having to fly down there from NYC.

You will not find another Law Firm that will protect your interests the way Rice Law Firm does! They were very knowledgeable about the entire legal process and kept me updated the entire time. I would recommend this Firm with 100% confidence that anyone would receive the same experience I did.

Mrs. King has helped me navigate a divorce and subsequent parenting agreement modifications over the last 4 years. very knowledgeable, aggressive and fair. she worked very hard to ensure equal and fair rights for me as a father. I would recommend her to anyone who is going through a divorce.

Thank you to the entire staff of Rice law firm. They brought me through a lawsuit that lasted 2 years. The service was excellent always and Paul Rice my attorney was wonderful. I would recommend them highly to anyone for any legal problem.
Kudos to everybody....

I couldn t be more pleased after working with Elisabeth King at rice law. She made a difficult situation much less stressful. She always take the time to answer all questions. She is also very available to her clients. Shannon is also very easy to work with. Overall experience with them was great.

I Justin Lott swear that I have never been so pleased with how well I ve ever had anything handled, Mr. Bonamo's handling of my divorce was beyond amazing, I explained to him what I needed and wanted. Him and Ashleigh went above and beyond my expectations.Highly recommend this law firm!!

Ashleigh and Phil were great to work with throughout the divorce process. I felt comfortable and very well taken care of. They are very thorough and responsive. Although I spent a lot of money, I am satisfied with the results and would definitely recommend their services to others.

I hired Phil Bonamo for my future daughter in law Katie. My attorney up here in Michigan prepared most of the motion for him. I don't know if he prepared or not, but 2 convicted felon's testimony with over 12 arrests between them was more convincing to the judge than law abiding citizens testimony. I felt he was rushing through the case. I wouldn't recommend him if you have a tough case. Bad in my opinion.

I am overwhelmingly satisfied with the council I received from Beth King and Shannon G. They were not only great council but have also been a crucial part of my support system during my divorce. I am very grateful to the entire Rice Law Firm staff!

Working with Beth King, Shannon Gregoire and Kristi Rice has been very comforting. They know what they're doing and I never had to follow up with them, they followed up with me. I felt extremely confident in their knowledge and ability. They don't waste time or money and treat you with the utmost respect. I would recommend Beth King and the entire Rice & Rose Law Firm to anyone in need of legal help.

very good .they been handling my moms estate since she died .there very nice and know what there doing.

I would also without question highly recommend Beth King and Shannon Gregoire for family law matters.

I live outside the state of Florida but needed a Florida state Attorney. The Rice Law firm was an excellent choice. They made it easy to handle everything remotely and they were very communicative so that I always felt like I knew what was going on, even though I was far away. Everyone I spoke to at the firm was always professional and courteous and they did not hesitate to answer all of my questions in a way that I could understand. Most of all, I appreciate their expertise and effectiveness in getting the job done. It was so comforting to know that I had such a great team on my side. I am delighted with the service I received from Attorney Matthew Shapiro and Karen Buchanan(Paralegal). They know what they are doing and they do it well.

Ms. King was so helpful in helping me understand what to expect throughout my divorce process. She was very informative and compassionate in a very difficult time. I highly recommend her services!

Beth King was on point, professional, knowledgeable, and ON FIRE in trial!! Her staff typically responds within 24 hours. She herself will call you, and you will not be misguided on ANY family law matter. Pay for the best and enjoy the rest!

Kayla Hathaway and Tamara Szabo-Spuzzillo provided me with all the information and whenever i had questions had quick answers for me.Thanks for the hard work.would recommend there services to anyone

The law firm is a scam . They have you make an appointment and then tell you unless you give them a bunch of money upfront then they won't take your case. Also they tell you that there is no guarantee that you would win and you take a chance to pursue a lawsuit. They were not confident in their practice to help but to take advantage of people. They had me pay $150 for a 30 min consultation to tell me nothing !!!!! Don't waste your money!!!!

I hired Mr. Bonamo for a moving violation. He did a great job in taking care of my case. I was completely satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend him to anyone.

James

They are professional and competitively priced. Competent as well

Paul and his team helped me through a very difficult divorce with professionalism and integrity. The outcome was better for me than I'd expected. Negotiations were contentious, but Paul coached me to focus on the business at hand and not let emotions take over. This saved me money and kept the matter for dragging on for years. I would highly recommend Rice Law to anyone.

If you are looking for a great family law attorney, I highly recommend attorney Phillip Bonamo. He is very efficient, compassionate and will work hard to get results for you! Couldn t ask for a better attorney!

I highly recommend Philip Bonamo to anyone who is looking for a RELIABLE attorney who will follow through and do his best to help you out. Thanks

I was extremely impressed with Mr. Bonamo's representation on my case in the matter of transferring jurisdiction on my custody case, he was very professional and thorough in court. Mr. Bonamo was extremely informative on the status of the case and the next step in proceedings. His paralegal Ms. Drexler was also exceptional in her communication with me and quick response. I only wish I had found Mr. Bonamo when I first started my divorce case.

Beth King and her paralegal Kristin, were comforting, professional, and problem solving. I felt that they really listened to my needs as a client and worked with me through every step of the legal process. They always made themselves available to questions and my concerns. I would highly recommend Beth King for your family law needs.

I had a very positive experience when working with Rice & Rose during my divorce. Mr. Bonamo was very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Ashleigh was a great help and all questions were answered quickly. I would definitely recommend Rice & Rose.

No words will express my appreciation and admiration for Mrs. Beth King, who had shared and suffered the horror of not just six months of battle for a divorce, if not four long years of frustration and insanity after it. Wonderfully patient and calm during the storm and great sense of humor after it. The professionalism of everyone, from receptionist to paralegal is worth to mention as well. Thank you all.

I have and will continue to highly recommend Rice & Rose Law Firm.
Rice & Rose is a trusted Law Firm that helped and guided me through a difficult time. Paul Rice and the staff at Rice and Rose handled my case expediently with brilliant service and extreme professionalism. I was kept informed and was well guided with expert knowledge throughout my entire process.

Provided excellent and thorough services. Very good communication and follow-up. We accomplished our desired outcome. Phillip Bonamo is an excellent attorney.

Attorney Phil Bonamo and his paralegal Ashleigh were very helpful and compassionate while I was going through my divorce. They were both skilled, knowledgeable and answered and explained things to me that I didn't understand. They had my best interest in mind while going through this process and I would highly recommend this firm to anyone.

A 5-Star experience all the way! Couldn't have been more pleased.

I had a wonderful experience with the Rice Law Firm. They were highly recommended to me by a friend. I am so glad I called them for a family law matter. Everyone I dealt with at that firm went above & beyond to assist me.

I want to extend a huge thank you to: Mr. Paul Rice III, Mr. Phillip Bonamo, Ms. Paige Russo & Ms. Tiesa Burrell. This law firm treats you more like a family member, then just another person who needs help. The honesty, kindness, personalized care, diligence & expeditious action they showed was truly appreciated & will not be forgotten.

If you need help within the family law realm, do not hesitate to call & ask for Mr. Paul Rice III or Mr. Phillip Bonamo. Both gentleman are top notch attorneys, I highly recommend them. As a small business owner, I appreciate great service & I would give these gentlemen 10 stars if possible.

Sincerely,

Danielle

My husband and I are opening an Assisted Living Facility. We were unsure were to start and over-whelmed by all the options. Matt Shapiro helped us every step of the way, from forming a corporation, to closing on our property, to making sure we are properly protected. We are very pleased with the excellence service and his expertise.

Mrs. King and her staff were absolutely phenomenal and I couldn't have asked for a better team to help guide me through the difficult process of a divorce. They were calm, steady and reassuring throughout the proceedings and their demeanor greatly reduced my anxiety. I couldn't be happier with the results they got for both myself and my child and would more than recommend them to anyone needing legal help. I had consulted with other attorneys and, after sitting down with Beth for just a few minutes, I knew that Rice and Rose was where I needed to be.

I would personally recommend my family and friends to Rice & Rose Law Firm.
They are very professional, extremely thorough, and sensitive to the difficult time
that you are experiencing. It could be a life changing event.

They will do their best to make you feel comfortable in pursuing whatever needs
to be done to win your case. It can be very intimidating, especially your first time,
but you will feel confident in the end.

Mr. Rice came highly recommended and I now know why! Mr. Rice and his team guided me and kept me focused during a very stressful divorce. I would highly recommend the Rice Law Firm!!

First carefully check the 5 star reviews for Rice Law - most of the individuals only left 1-3 reviews, only for rice law - let that sink in for a minute. (I d expect to see active reviews for several businesses). Some of the google reviews are from individuals who work there - don t let the reviews fool you in making a poor decision.

First they charge $350/hr for family law, for Daytona? Not worth it. Trust me, don t waste your time or money - they are not any better than a free public defender from my experience.

1. They would file items to the petitioner (and court) without discussing with me and would cause the other party to retaliate. I would then be billed for actions I did not agree and caused major heartache solving case. I spoke to them many times on this however The legal team continued to not care and failed to share plan before taking action.

2. Also, The attorney misunderstood the court order and was certainly an embarrassment to not only the Law, but I firmly believe the Florida bar as well. It embarrassed me too the fact I paid 350/hr for someone who could not comprehend a simple time share that sat in his possession for 6months - which I also paid for.

3. I found them untrustworthy and certainly lacked keeping track of my case. Some points I would have to remind their office of dead lines and expirations which made it feel like I paid to run a day care center.

4. Things would be guaranteed and they would not move forward or flop decision.

5. When I picked up my case files there was someone else s records in my folder. Who in the heck mixes up real estate with family law? This made me question how frequent they make these mistakes and mix up files between individual, isolated cases.

Take this as a warning and save your money and time. I swear after changing attorneys and getting rid of this circus my case is much better. Do yourself a favor, hire a free public defender before hiring rice law. My suggestion, hire an attorney that operates within a few blocks from court house - my experience they are more effective, intelligent, cheaper (the price doesn t dictate good from bad attorneys), and with my experience it is MUCH better.

DO NOT SELECT RICE LAW, YOU VE BEEN WARNED!

I worked with Elizabeth King and her assistant Shannon. Both ladies were professional and very responsive and supportive throughout the whole divorce process. I am really happy with the smooth process and all the support I had from them. I would recommend to anyone. I especially enjoyed having a female attorney! Thank you to the Rice & Rose team.

Couldn't help me they said but did refer an attorney whom I've never heard from.

Very caring, kind, understanding and helpful during trying times. Never thought I would ever be in a position to need a lawyer, but very happy they we on my side.

From the time I called Rice Law Firm, I immediately felt a sense of comfort due to the professionalism and warmth even from the front lines of reception. This was everything to me, since I was going through a divorce that I truly never expected. Attorney Elizabeth King was a blessing to have during a tumultuous life change and upheaval. She had the utmost patience with me, even during moments of peak anxiety. Her acumen and her ability to create humor during a difficult situation really helped. Every time I got off the phone with her, I felt more at ease. Mrs. King has a depth and sincerity that you just don t always find in attorneys. That is why I would recommend her to anyone in the future.

Great firm! Everyone is super friendly, knowledgeable, professional and helpful!

Rice and Rose is an excellent law firm, dedicated to providing their clients with quality legal services. I have utilized Phil Bonamo's legal services several times and have always been impressed with his legal counsel and judgement. He and his paralegal, Ashleigh Drexler, were available whenever needed to answer any questions. I always knew the next step in the process and was confident that Phil's focus was on what would be the most advantageous outcome for my family.

Extremely professional firm. Grateful for their assistance through one of the toughest times of my life. They know their stuff and they work hard for their clients.

Beth King is my attorney and she has been absolutely fantastic! I could not be more pleased with the services that I have received. She not only helped me with my divorce and custody issues but she has been incredibly supportive along the way during this difficult time. I highly recommend her and her assistant Shannon. They are both amazing!!

As an attorney, I endorse Mr. Bonamo. He is very knowledgeable in the area of family law and is prompt to respond to any questions I have. Excellent lawyer!

Elizabeth King was handling my divorce and even tho it took us a few years to finally get our judgement she handled each situation with respect, alertness and professionalism. The day of the final hearing Ms. King even picked me up at my home and took me to the court house and shared with me great advice and her personal story. Her right hand gal Shannon was the backbone of this entire ordeal and without her I don't believe it would have gone the way it did, Shannon was always two steps ahead with the correct paperwork or any time I sent a crazy email at all hours of the day she was right there with a reply. The entire time both Ms. King & Shannon made me feel like family that were going through the emotions right besides me. I'm so grateful that they handled my case and I had the opportunity to come across such strong, smart and lovely ladies. Highly recommend Elizabeth King & Rice Law Firm

Beth King did an excellent job handling my divorce case. Even when the opposing side was less than professional she was always on top of her game. My results were better than expected. I would highly recommend Mrs King and her staff (especially Shannon)!

Just did a walk in to see about their services and was very impressed by the professional way they treat their potential clients ! I will defiantly be using them in the future !

Mr Rice is the most quintessential Divorce Attorney period. His combination of knowledge and compassion was greatly appreciated for my divorce case. His approach in solving the outstanding (sometimes overly emotional) issues that come with this type of case kept both the cost and the time frame to a minimum. I highly recommend Paul and his team (including Paige Russo-one of the best)

Simply put...one of the most effective and results oriented firms in coastal Florida. Phil Bonamo is an excellent attorney and extremely well versed in family/domestic law. I consider him my personal attorney. Very highly recommended. They are not inexpensive; yet, when results are needed, money is usually of secondary importance. So, if you are looking for the best...call Rice and ask for Philip Bonamo.
