Stephen L. Richards

Steve Richards has represented me for nearly four years in a highly complex and politically-charged 1st Amendment case that has exposed the underbelly of the DuPage County Republican machine, which permeates & infects law enforcement, the prosecutor's office and the judiciary. Despite all the lies, c...heating and misconduct by the DuPage State's Attorney's office, Steve has been persistent in his pursuit of justice on my behalf and in his defense of the freedoms granted to all of us by the First Amendment in our U.S. Constitution.

Stephen has been an excellent attorney for us. He has by far exceeded our expectations. He helped us thought every process of our case and went above and beyond. He performed a lot of services that other attorneys will not have. Even after the case has ended, he still has been great in following thro...ugh with the results. He is great in managing his time and setting trial dates that will work with our schedule. He gives a thorough explanation of what is going on and how he will proceed. Couldn't have asked for more from an attorney. Will definitely recommend and use him again.

Mr. Richards provided amazing support of our family during this difficult time. Following a shaky start with another attorney, we reached out to Mr. Richards and his determination to turn this case around and gain the knowledge and insight into an area where he had a limited perspective was most grat...ifying. Mr. Richards was very direct in his approach, conveying what we should expect, odds that were in our favor and what could go against us. The outcome of the case was all that we could have hoped for and has allowed us all to move forward. We will always be grateful for the critical role he played in giving us back our lives.

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.
