Phil Ricker

Philip Ricker, a West Texas native, has always had a deep connection to the legal world, inspired by early memories of his mother's legal practice. After attending Southwestern University and playing college football, Phil's passion led him to Baylor Law. Baylor Law is renowned for its focus on litigation and trial work. Upon graduating, Phil embarked on a career in high-stakes family law litigation in Dallas. However, a new chapter began for Phil when his wife was accepted into Texas Tech's Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program. This led him back to West Texas.

Phil's practice is almost entirely dedicated to litigation and protecting his client's rights in the Courtroom. Phil has achieved notable recognition in family law litigation, including 'Best Lawyers Magazine: One to Watch in America' and 'Texas Rising Star' by Superlawyers. His role as an Adjunct Faculty member at Baylor for Family Law Bootcamp further underscores his dedication and expertise in this field. However, Phil routinely and regularly litigates in criminal law, probate law, water law, guardianship law, and civil defense. 

Serving a vast region across twenty counties, Phil is the attorney to call if you are looking for a trial attorney to represent and help you through the legal system.
