One of the Best Lawyers in South Florida

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.

A poor service results in an expensive outcome

I had read the reviews on this website prior to hiring and decided to dismiss them and hire anyway.

Excellent!

Mr. Cripps has represented me and my family in different cases before and he is phenomenal. I love his attitude and how he takes control of the situation and keeps you calm at all times. He is a great listener and very attentive. He keeps you updated throughout the case from the moment you begin with... him to the end. Very affordable! I absolutely love Mr. Cripps and his work. I recommend him a 1000%

Cut rate equals cut service

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....)
