Stephen L. Richards

Mr. Richards was not only kind and compassionate, he was very informative as well in an expungement case. I would reccomend him to anyone who wishes to have their rights explained to them, the whole legal process, and to find a lawyer in Chicago who returns calls and emails, and never makes you feel ...like your bothering him. Mr. Richards was overall a great choice for my case.

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.

Mr. Richards is a very expensive attorney, but what would u pay for freedom? In my experience I went to trial with Mr Richards and lost. I won part of the trial. Then lost the other part. I was sentenced to 8yrs@ 85% which comes out to 6yrs9mo18dys incarcerated. I filed an appeal and was released on ...a technicality that Mr Richards brought up during trial. Truly it's because of him that I am home now. But I am still going thru much more because I took a plea. Mr Richards didn't want me too take the plea, but I felt as if I had to much evidence against me. It was my fault also. He advised me that he cannot guarantee that we will win but I shouldn't take the plea. I just wanted to be home with my family again. So in conclusion I will say. Mr Richards is a good attorney. He fights for you. In my situation the state and judge were just against him. I can't fault him for that. I ended up with 4yrs after facing 31 so I'm ok. Situation could've been a lot worse.
