Florida's Best-he help protect me and he listened!!!

Richard Stevens is a tremendously talented defense attorney with a knowledge base of military court martials. He was very responsive to me with regard to any of my urgent matters throughout my ordeal; he responded to my requests, walked me through the processes, as the opposing side continued to emba...rk with legal maneuvering with no other intent but to intimidate. Richard Stevens also understands human psychology which comes in very handy dealing with sensitive issues, and picking the right timing for negotiation. I would highly recommend Attorney Stevens for any sort of case but especially court martials. It has been a pleasure working with him and having the peace of mind of having my case in good hands, and resolved issue free. Accused: Sexual Assault of Spouse Results: Case was dismissed. Because of Stevens’ relentless digging and questioning of witnesses, he was able to sidestep trail proceeding all together. I made the absolute right choice by choosing Richard Stevens to represent me. My family and I thank you for what you do.

Determined, extremely competent, and compassionate professional - your best advocate

I hired Rich after I was notified of a pending separation board. Rich was always readily available and always provided no nonsense advice. His candid but compassionate approach was exactly what I needed. He is a consumate professional who will be your advocate. Rich's efforts were succesful and t...he board proceedings were suspended. I was able to apply and recieve approval for normal retirement. I don't wish my situation on anyone, but if you find yourself there, CALL Rich.

Couldn't ask for a better attorney!

Rich is the most conscientious, responsive, knowledgeable, aggressive (in a good way) attorney there is. As an attorney myself, I didn't think I needed the assistance of another attorney to fight for my case. Boy was I wrong. Without Rich, I would have missed out on substantial arguments that were... critical to my defense. He's been doing this a very long time and it clearly shows. He knows what to say, how to say it and when to say it. Every time I send Rich an email, he responds within an hour. That is remarkable for any attorney, especially one as busy as Rich. If you don't get the outcome you want, he continues to fight. I will keep his number on speed dial for life and would recommend him to anyone that wants a fighting chance to win his/her case.

Hiring a former insider who cared was the key.

Hiring someone who was a former JAG was so valuable in this case. Rich took time to look at all the pieces, determine who was or should have been involved and was very open and honest the whole way through. While the outcome at the time was less than what I wanted, it was realistic considering the c...ircumstances. Things Rich put into place back then helped me 3 years later when presenting my case to the discharge review board. Could not have done this alone. You head is spinning and you cannot believe this is happening this way. Rich guides you and keeps you focused on the important things.

Highly Recommended!!

Mr. Richard Stevens did what I hoped for and more. I have nothing but the utmost trust and respect for him. During the proceedings while I sat there and watched I could tell that he takes great pride in what he does. He takes the time to do the leg work and ensures he does everything he possibly can ...to properly represent and help you. There were times during the trial I sat in awe and found my self feeling over whelmed with emotion when he used the information he gathered and along with what I told him and used it to make significant grounds in my case. I have dealt with other attorneys for a few minor things and my divorce. I never felt the trust with the other attorneys that I felt with him. He is upfront and honest. I recommend that you are honest and truthful with him about everything so he can truly give you the best representation possible. I would highly recommend Mr. Stevens to anyone who is dealing with any type of high profile significant military investigation or trial. I know that not all outcomes will be the same, but I firmly believe he will represent you to the fullest. I was facing some very serious charges that could have resulted in prison time and or a convection that would have followed me for the rest of my life. After it was all said and done none of the above happened and I am pleased with the outcome. I feel that Mr. Stevens did an excellent job. Thank you Mr. Stevens for what you do.
