Poor Communication

I obtained Steven Cripps and had to continually follow up with the office to receive any information regarding my issue. Within a month's time, he did not fulfill his promise to have an agreement proposal completed. He has given specific days as to when it would be ready, and when the time came, he f...ailed to communicate. When I reached out to the office, they could not even tell me whether or not the process had been initiated.

Painless divorce

I work overseas and needed legal representation to take me through the steps to dissolve my marriage. Given the difference in time zones, I expected difficult interactions. Mr. Cripps and staff were readily available and kept me updated through email and phone communications. He made a difficult pr...ocess seem painless! I surely will recommend him to others.

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.

Posted by Sherryl Lynn | November 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Family law

Having a very complicated case where my ex has kept myself from even speaking to my children since Mothers Day of 2014. Where my son and daughter last said Mommy I don't know when he's going to let us speak to you again. He has dealt w my very distraught situation with emense patience. He has filed s...everal motions including a personal lawsuit against my ex husband along with family matters.

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.
