Stephen L. Richards

Mr. Richards definitely knows all there is to know about Criminal Law. Prior to hiring Mr. Richards, we had hired two other attorney's that failed miserably at getting justice for my son (a first time offender) who had gotten arrested for tying to be a drug dealer in Southern Illinois. With only one... Appeal left, I located Mr. Richards on the AVVO website and simply knew by the reviews written about him and his photo that he was our one last shot at justice for our son. We are so happy that we hired him. Overall, Mr. Richards was able to convince the court to reduce my son's sentence which will allow him to return to freedom in 2016. Mr. Richards was attentive, responsive to our questions & concerns and very knowledgeable about the justice system as a whole. We are so happy that we hired him. If you are considering hiring Stephen L. Richards - you're on the right path.

He did an excellent job in my case. I initially hired a different attorney at the beginning of the case but later after seeing his website and bunch of reviews i decided to give it a try. I am very glad i hired him. He is very responsive and did handled the criminal case against me excellently. I got... the best possible outcome ever. Just hire him and he will do the rest.

We were at a complete loss after our family member was found guilty of a serious crime that we knew he didn't commit. After working with a very disappointing, incompentent attorney I searched for attorney #2 with a glimmer of hope that he would appeal the finding a fight for a new, fair trial. Steve... Richards did just that. He responded to my call within 30 minutes, listened to the case, and met with us 4 days later. He was remarkable! He has extensive knowledge and was able to quickly represent our family member. He created a solid argument for a new trial and won the appeal. He is responsive, trustworthy, and very easy to work with. He takes the time to understand the person that he is representing.

I hired Mr. Richards for a caseI had pending even though I lived in Kentucky. Mr. Richards did an excellent job with the case. He answered all my emails and phone calls. He even answered my phone calls after 5:00 p.m. and on a saturday during a holiday weekend. He kept me well informed about my case ...and did everything he could to get the outcome I wanted. Due to all his hard work, the case came out in my favor. I would recommend him to anyone.

I am pleased to recommend Attorney Stephen L. Richard’s legal services. I am currently working with on my legal case and have always found him attentive, dependable, available, efficient, and unfailingly punctual. In fact, I have never worked with an Attorney who gives as much attention to detail as ...he does with remarkable patience and admirable tact. Also, his willingness to take on difficult cases like my wrongful conviction case and see them to successful completion has repeatedly impressed me.
