Some other information about Rick you might like to know: He does not dress as the “typical” attorney no suit and tie for him; he wears shorts and t-shirts (Big Dog T-Shirts to be exact). That does not mean he does not dress up if he has court appearance or a closing. However, he likes to be comfortable, believes people work better that way, and you are coming to see him for his knowledge not how he dresses.
The Dorsey family lives in Putnam County, they have seven quarter horses; six dogs (3 outdoor, 3 indoor), and 10 cats (5 indoor/outdoor).
Rick when possible likes to relax by playing historical war games. He plays numerous computer and console based games, with roleplaying, strategy (turn-based) and first person shooters are favorite. He reads fantasy and science fiction, along with end of world or zombie apocalypse type titles. He enjoys fishing, hunting, and horseback riding for relaxation then actually the hunt. His son though would hunt everyday if he were allowed.
