Riley N. Oncken, P.C.

Alicia Caplan was my lawyer from this firm. We lost the custody battle BUT! This woman is amazing. Her drive, work eithic, knowledge of how to navigate the legal system are amazing. She makes solid factual arguments and also lends a listening ear to her clients concerns and feelings through it all. Not all lawyers do that. I 100% recommend her. At the end of the day she will work very hard on your case to get you the best outcome possible and that's all anyone can really ask for. She was excellent at communicating with my family and I. Hire her!

Riley was the guardian ad litem for my divorce custody disagreement. He was appointed by the court. My ex had moved from the south to IL, then wanted to move from IL to FL because she met someone. He interviewed me and told me upon arrival that the future step dad was a really good guy, raved about him and his job. He blatantly told me that I had no S/O to fall back on in emergency, and my union job didn't make enough money.. His exact words were, "If my children were moving away, I would follow." Yah. Union job to a non union state really transfers well. So he ruled that my ex should be allowed to move away with my children, which she did, and I chased well. I couldn't get a foothold, making 10 dollars an hour in Florida. I was forced to move to SC. Now it's been a period of about 8 to 10 years, that I haven't been able to see my children properly because of his recommendation this coupled with my ex doing her best to slowly remove me through attrition. I barely get to speak with my one of my sons, and my other being on the spectrum who I never get to speak with is great. Then my daughter, the best friend I had, doesn't have time for me anymore and thinks ill of me because I no longer associate with her mother. It was the best when I got to watch her dance with her stepfather at her quince that I had to basically crash. Thanks again, Riley. You're a real stand-up guy. I also really appreciated you walking around the office during the interview with a gun on your hip. Definitely not intimidating at all. You're such a good guy that you allowed the alienation of a dedicated father, causing him to break down and give up almost on life, too. Im.now just being able to rebuild.

Riley and his office staff are wonderful to work with. They helped our family with a few matters and with the sale of our home. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars but Google won’t let me. Don’t shop around this company is the best around.

The three 1-Star reviews posted by Jay, Jason, and IAMDaBoss in the last month are not from my former clients. I do not know who these people are and they may even be the same person trying to defame me, as the language in the reviews seems similar. My other reviews and thousands of satisfied clients for the past 19 years speak for themselves. I have reported the reviews to Google, but do not know if they will be removed.

I am a former client of Riley Oncken and I can say I am extremely grateful and satisfied!! Throughout my divorce case with child support/custody issues, every concern and question along the way has been addressed. His office was highly professional and responsive. Riley is extremely knowledgeable, professional, honest and prompt. My son and I are forever thankful for a successful finalization to this very difficult and emotional process.
