Rick L. Martindale
He came to injury work from the other side of the file — a claims adjuster and then claims supervisor before law school, and an insurance-defence lawyer after it. His register phone and the number his site advertises are different, and his register email domain is not the domain his site runs on.
The bar record
We read Rick L. Martindale in the Florida Bar’s member directory. Rows below the line are the ones the member fills in, not the Bar.
Florida publishes ten years, and only ten years. The line above reads 10-Year Discipline History: None. That is a statement about the last decade, not about a career. The Florida Bar is authoritative on what it covers — it publishes bar number, standing, eligibility, admission date and discipline, and it stands behind all of it — but it says nothing whatever about the years before the window opens.
On this page that matters enormously. Timothy David has been admitted forty-one years, so the register reaches under a quarter of his career. Four of the twelve lawyers here have been admitted long enough that most of their record sits outside it. Four others were admitted recently enough that the window covers everything.
And the lower half of the record is the lawyer’s own. Sections, practice areas, languages and firm size are filled in by the member, not verified by the Bar. Six of our twelve Orlando listings left practice areas blank entirely. Where it is filled in it is the only place a register on this site will say what a lawyer holds himself out to do — which is why one entry here reading “Criminal, Criminal Appellate” is worth stopping on.
What the record shows
The register gives his telephone as 407-897-8964 and his email at martindalepa.com. His site is gottaaskrick.com and advertises (407) 329-6702 throughout. Three identifiers, three different places; all are printed here as filed.Verified
His register entry records Spanish under languages — one of only two in this batch that fill the field in.Verified
The firm’s rideshare page cites Florida Statute §627.748 by number, which four of the twelve pages in this batch do. It also states a case-results figure for a 2024 rideshare matter; we print no settlement or verdict figures.Verified
Twenty-seven years admitted, of which the register’s discipline window covers the most recent ten.Verified
