Rick began his legal career at the age of 19, working part-time as a litigation assistant at a large and established law firm in Phoenix, Arizona. Throughout the years he spent there, he worked on an anti-trust case with a young associate at the time, the former Arizona Governor and Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano.. After graduating from Arizona State with a degree in finance, Rick chose to attend George Washington University in Washington, D.C. to pursue his legal endeavors. Although he was accepted into law schools in California, Virginia and Arizona, he felt studying law in the nation's capital would provide unique opportunities and experiences.. During and after law school, he worked for a federal judge in Washington, D.C., the Honorable Charles R. Richey. Rick often says that learning from him and watching trials gave him the invaluable experience and motivation he needed as a law student and young lawyer. “He used to say that a judge who spent all his time in the courtroom couldn’t get his work done.” The unforgettable experience and invaluable impressions Judge Richey left on Rick are definitely visible throughout his work, as he strives to live up to one of Judge Richey’s favorite mottos: “Justice delayed is justice denied.”. In 1994, after completing his bar exam, Rick was hired by James Nickelsporn as an associate attorney, handling car accident cases. By 2002, Nickelsporn had realized how dependable, hardworking, and genuine Rick was toward his clients and the law, and invited him to join him as his law partner—Rick gladly accepted, creating the current firm of Nickelsporn and Lundin, P.C. In 2006, Rick started handling divorce, custody and family law matters on behalf of clients, and during the past ten years, he has helped many people successfully navigate the difficulties of divorce and custody matters.
