Steven Cripps

I was getting divorced and had other counsel who was charging me for filling out paperwork and not advancing my case to resolution. I finally found Steven and hired him as my new attorney. Since Day 1, he was in communication with me over my case, and he got things moving. All I was waiting for was a... mediation date, and once I hired Steven I had a mediation date within a month and a half. He is kind, professional, and you can tell that he has your best interests in mind when representing you. If I ever have another legal issue, I would not hesitate to contact Steven. He is the best choice for your case.

Mr Cripps is a nice man and I really wanted to like him. I gave him several opportunities to assist me. A mistake in retrospect. (I never even met him in person during the several months he represented me.) Because once I finally did decide to consult another attorney. She informed me that there were... several responses to motions that NEEDED to be made within days. I found Mr Cripps communication to be extremely frustrating. He doesn't respond to emails until days later. (Apparently his staff prints them out....) Getting him on the phone is equally difficult. If you do manage to get him, he's very abrupt and defensive. I thought his experience would be an asset but he's a dinosaur, running a divorce mill. Spend the money upfront and hire a real attorney who'll give you the attention you deserve. Otherwise you'll be paying down the line anyway. (Or paying twice like I did. He never responded to my requests for a partial refund either....)

Mr Cripps went beyond his scope of getting the best deal possible- even when it came to the emotional strain of a family that felt the collateral damage of a divorce. His knowledge and experience was a comforting throughout the entire process. If I had to do this again , I would not hestitate to ...call him first. Not only he’s a great at being a lawyer, he was also considered an understanding friend. I highly recommend him.

I think I speak for the majority of us when I say that divorce is a tumultuous, extremely emotional and painful process! Especially if there are children and assets involved. You’re heartbroken and angry...so during this process, its hard to trust anyone and it can be easy to redirect your anger an...d impatience on the wrong person or event. Which I believe may explain most of the negative comments on here directed at Mr. Cripps. Does he sometimes take a day to return your call? Yes. Is he a man of few words? Yes. Can that be frustrating? Of course. But does he get the job done? You can bet your hard earned money on it! My husband left me on Valentines day, on Valentines Day!! I was an emotional mess, left with the mortgage and a slew of bills to pay. Not only did Mr. Cripps offer a flat rate fee but also an affordable payment plan. I retained Mr. Cripps towards the end of March and was divorced the 1st week of June! The day of my hearing I was nervous and concerned because he was running late (he was in another court room). The judge asked me who was my attorney and I tell her, she responds: “oh don't worry, I know he's around here somewhere, he'll be here”. He has such an awesome rapport with the judges that they don't even mind waiting for him! Mr. Cripps possesses almost 40 years of experience. He knows what he's doing and does it at a reasonable price. If you want a young lawyer that's going to kiss your butt and charge you twice as much, then go for it. But if you want a guy with an established good rapport and who will get the job done, then trust Mr. Cripps is that attorney. Good luck and all the best!! P.S. Shout out to his secretary, who was always very friendly when I called his office!

He was hired to do a modification of child support for children that were emancipated. Steve went into court with the motion and money that was paid to him and dismissed the motion without my consent. I recentently found out after the statutes of limitations ran out I could have sued him for malpract...ice. Stay far away from this guy.
