Hire someone else

Cripps did not file paperwork properly. Cripps did not use evidence to support filing Cripps did not prepare for my trial Cripps lied about trying to get court dates in an appropriate time frame Cripps did not even attempt to use my witnesses Cripps did not do anything to correct his mistakes ... Cripps took my money and failed to complete filings Cripps didn’t return calls made to address issues in filings. Cripps did quickly take my money Cripps intentionally didn’t meet the state standards. Thus knowing the results before hand and lost my case filing . Im still waiting for a return call to address issues not resolved. I have called him repeatedly. Find someone who cares about your well being your children’s well being I dont even think he ever even asked me my kids names.

I wouldnt even give him 1 star

I hired Mr. Cripps being referred to another lawyer in West Palm Beach County told me he was a very good lawyer. I’ve been dealing with the divorce for four years. I paid Mr. Cripps all the fee upfront that he asked for he did not do nothing. My license was suspended twice behind me missing a suppose...dly payment, every time he contacted the revenue for me he would charge me extra fees on top of the fees that the revenue would want to reinstate my license. He would act like he would put motions to open up the case to proceed with it and he would not do nothing. I deal with it for over two years of dragging me would not answer his phone. He just kept dragging me on and I told him I was gonna call the Bar association on him and he gave me Me back 2000 out of $4000

Worst Attorney Ever

Steven made me look like a complete joke. I lost my case. He didn't do anything I asked him to do. He didn't file anything I asked him to file on. I gave him all the evidence he needed to win the case and he didn't use it causing me to lose due to lack of evidence. My Ex lives out of state and he fo...ught for him to show up in person then Steven himself appeared by zoom again causing me to look like a joke. He didnt fight for me my daughter or my rights and completely let my daughters father walk away with everything he wanted. Then when I asked for half my money back for lack of representation he has ignored me and not returned any calls. He robbed me and did NOTHING took advantage of a struggling single mother with the plan to help the Father for free.

Worst lawyer in Palm Beach County

If there are any good reviews on this lawyer they are most likely written by his secretary and not real clients bcs he is truly the worst lawyer in palm beach county

Just don’t do it!

Total waste of time and money. Paid him upfront and that’s where things ended. Didn’t listen, never responds to emails and doesn’t care to do his job. Fought for nothing in court and ran out after it was over as if he had better places to be. I can’t say it enough but just find someone else. Spend th...e money on Someone who likes their job and actually wants to help you. Cheap is great but not in a divorce situation. Just don’t do it!!!!
