Steven Cripps

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!!!!

I hired Mr. Cripps because the stress and anxiety from my divorce had taken a toll on me when suddenly my ex just stopped paying all support ordered to care for our children. I needed someone to take over and fight for me, not against me. Unfortunately in dealing with him, I didn't get what I needed.... Instead, I felt that being a divorce lawyer made him dislike women, or if not women, it made him bitter in general. Mr. Cripps would just talk over me, cut me off, wouldn't listen and just constantly interrupted me. I found this so frustrating, and increasingly infuriating as time went on dealing with him, but I had given him the agreed upon fee, which was a lesser amount than most lawyers were requesting. He made a horrible situation worse. He dropped the ball a few times, for example he was filling out papers in the court room that should have already been filled out before. I finally told him off, not once, but twice for constantly talking over me and being so condescending, but also for an insensitive, rude and incorrect summation of the relationship I was in at the time. As if he was privy to the subject, nor was it any of his business. Very insensitive and inappropriate. Again, my need for an attorney was due to my ex refusing to pay his court ordered child support and alimony while I was trying to rebuild my life and career. Such a stressful time and he added to the stress. He showed no empathy. In addition, I lost. My support went way down. I was now in major cc debt because that's all I had to pay for food, mortgage, car, and all other living expenses, with no relief coming now to cover the cc debt I had accrued over the almost 2 years my ex didn't pay, and Mr. Cripps disappeared. Never to be heard from again after leaving a voicemail telling me we'd go after other savings that was hidden away somewhere. Someone else wrote it well above, he gave me a cut rate, so I got cut rate service.

Where to start?? I went thru a 2 year divorce, and Mr Cripps was with me every step of the way. Her lawyer tried to screw me every step of the way, and Mr Cripple blocked them every time, they had ZERO wins! He may not tell you what you want to hear, but he will ALWAYS tell you what's in your best i...nterest. This is a very emotional time, and your not always thinking straight, but he ALWAYS is !! I dont think you could find better representation!!

I hired Him to represent me super last minute and I was previously in court for the divorce and custody battle for 6 prior years almost every other time with NO council, I liked his game plan but after talking to other lawyers he never asked me what has been going on, or what my ex had claimed or don...e in prior 6 years. We Lost, Big Time

Steve is a nice guy and he knows the law and understands how to navigate the family law court system. Unlike many lawyers who will get bogged down in motion practice running up huge bills, Steve looks to get right to the point in an efficient and cost-effective manner. I have been through a divorce t...hat went to trial and two child support modification proceedings . Steve did not represent me in connection with the first two cases and I wish he had because he would have saved me a lot of money and I am confident that he would have achieved an optimal result because he is highly competent. I would recommend Steve to anyone who wants competent counsel but not a looking to spend a fixed amount of money and not waste more time than necessary in the court system.
