Practising Law with a Passion

Can we attain a fulfilled existence by helping others? The approach may not resonate with everyone. But for Rick Rye, fulfillment is not elusive when he’s directly involved in changing people’s lives. Family law, considered one of the most complicated branches of law, is the major practice area for Rick Rye. As the principal legal representative at his very own law firm ‘Rye Law Firm’, Rick Rye deals with complicated family issues on a daily basis. Rick Rye’s practice isn’t just limited to family law, he has over a decade of experience in all matters pertaining to immigration law and refugee protection. The extensive exposure to human turmoil may be taxing for some but for Rick Rye seeking a solution to his client’s dilemma is a rewarding experience.

Educational Background

Rick Rye acquired his Law Degree from the University of Leicester and was presented with the ‘LinkLaters’ Business Law award before graduating. Rick was called to the bar 2011 and from there he went on to become a member of the Law Society of Ontario, with which he is still active to date.

Why become a Family lawyer?

After finishing his studies, Rick decided to intern as a legal assistant at a major law firm in Toronto. During his time at the firm, Rick was introduced to a whole new world of real issues rooted in serious human problems. This exposure gave Rick a brand-new perspective on the meaning of compassion. At that point Rick realized that he can choose to pursue a legal profession where he seeks to help other people out, and he did.

Once Rick discovered his passion, he joined the Law office of Adela Crossley as an articling student and shortly after he was rewarded with a position as an Associate Lawyer. Rick Rye continued to work with Adela Crossley, as well as in-house counsel for one of Canada’s largest Agricultural Corporations, generating substantial expertise in Family and Immigration Law. After gaining this valuable experience, Rick Rye recently decided to branch out and start his own firm; Rye Law Firm, which specializes in Family and Immigration Law. Wolf Law Chambers assisted Rick with this transition.

Professional History

Personally, Rick believes in broadening his horizons career wise and likes to employ law diversity in his practice. His long list of work experiences also includes working for a Business firm where he acted as an in-house counsel for one of Canada’s largest agricultural corporations. The diverse legal background Rick Rye has acquired over the years working with both impoverished demographics and major corporations has allowed him to assist clients from all walks of life.

Personal Ideology

According to Rick Rye the idea of dealing with only clerical-based communication without any deeper sense of satisfaction out of work life is not gratifying in any way. Early on in his career, Rick realized he has an innate ability to empathize with the pain and emotions of others and finding solutions to their problems is what drives him in life.

So far Rick has proved to be instrumental in changing numerous lives for the better.  Whether its people fleeing from persecution in Africa, Jamaica, Mexico, or an individual looking to escape their prison of abuse at their own home.  For Rick, the work he has done is an achievement more fulfilling than any monetary gains.

I like problem solving, especially human problems and I want to stay away from fake interactions.

Future

Rick believes Canada is a great nation and being a citizen of this remarkable country has been a privilege for him. Dealing with other people’s problems has given Rick more appreciation for his own life and it has increased his sense of duty to help the less fortunate. This sense of honour as a lawyer is one of the main reasons why Rick Rye wants to keep working on the ground, as a Family and Immigration law practitioner.

As a lawyer the juxtaposition between serving humanity and finding systematic solutions can be tricky if not carried out efficiently. Rick feels he is at that point in his life where years of legal experience have given him the ability to deal with circumstances and derive favorable results without personalizing the situation.
