Used for Divorce

During my divorce Steve seemed to have a no care attitude. I have two children with disabilities and all he wanted to achieve for me was child support. He never offered that I should have alimony. Seventeen years of marriage and all he could tell me was I can't get blood out of a stone! His favorite... saying. Well ex husband now makes 50,000 a year and Steve should have suggested alimony at the time for him to pay especially since I helped my ex get that job he has. I now work two jobs because of Steve's lacking support. Per Steve I signed the divorce papers. Wish I had dropped him and looked for a better attorney. Wasted my money.

GREAT Lawyer

I hired Steve Cripps to handle my divorce and subsequent time-sharing/child support modifications. He has been fair, reasonable and very gracious in what he charged for legal services. He is also patient, clearly explaining the processes, including what my expectations should and should not be. He ...is knowledgeable without being arrogant and helped to make a frustrating and distasteful situation more bearable. If you need a lawyer I highly recommend Steve Cripps.

Family Matters

Mr. Cripps provided exceptional service to me initially during a dispute over child support payments when my son moved into his father's residence to attend a better school. He then represented me during a very difficult time in my life during a divorce a few years later. He was recommended to me b...y a colleague, and I could not have had better representation during both of these challenging times. I have referred him to others, as I feel his service was superb and his fees were very reasonable.

I WORRIE, HE DOSENT

I was referred to Mr. Cripps by work. His prices were most reasonable. At first it took awhile to get things moving. the courts have a slow process and my ex made it difficult. I was able to call Mr. Cripps at anytime, and believe me I did. he always answered and or returned my calls. His office... staff was most kind and caring with my numerous calls. I got frantic when I was in the mist of losing my daughter to my ex leaving the state. With a little nagging Mr. Cripps has done everything in his power to move things along and prevent the loss of my daughter. Although I may have been more worried about court dates, when it came time, it is Stevens' profession and he did amazing in front of the Judge. I have to say at time I may not of had my way or thought he was the best, but he dose know best about the situation and looking out for my best interest. I would recommend to anyone.

Still regretting hiring him after 12 years

I hired him because he was inexpensive and offered a flat fee for my divorce. I got what I paid for. Mr. Cripps did not defend me against my ex- husbands false allegations, and failed to present evidence I had against my ex at the trial. He rarely returns phone calls, and when he did, he rushed me of...f the phone. My ex got primary residential custody after lying under oath and I (an upstanding citizen and long time government worker), got every other weekend, when my son was only a year and a half old at the time. After the verdict, he never returned any of my calls.
