Why should, Rizk Law – or any law firm for that matter-concern itself with community in a website? Because, “We the people…” created law in the first place! Community gives law legitimacy. Societies that lose respect for law, inevitably crumble. And, lawyers who lose touch with the needs of their respective communities eventually fail too.
Not only is caring for community good business, its’ very rewarding and just plain fun! Start a chain reaction! Be the change you want to see. Do it with passion. Then watch the magic.

Richard, Alex, and Sam attend ATAA in Nashville.

Life’s Work
Community involvement is a way of life Mr. Rizk did not initially choose. It chose him. Mr. Rizk owes his success to those who sacrificed for him early on.
