I was most fortunate that Mr. Stephens served as my attorney in a civil matter involving CPS. He actually rescued my case, kept it viable and on track, when my original attorney passed away unexpectedly. Mr. Stephens spent numerous hours with me patiently putting the pieces of my case back together..., going over boxes of documents ... and on occasions meeting with me on Saturdays. Because of Mr. Stephens skill as an attorney the end result was stellar representation resulting in a victory on my behalf. He gave me a voice when I was confronted with what appeared to be insurmountable obstacles that totally disrupted my life. Mr. Stephens was patient and analytical. He approached the circumstances surrounding my case (and there were many) with keen insight.. He made it all work together as one cohesive piece and WE WON! And he managed to interject a sense of humor when I began to lose hope. His expertise, patience, sense of humor and “stick-to-it ness” I will always remember. I believe I may have been his first civil case. But one would never have known because he was the absolute best. I’m glad we crossed paths. He is a great attorney.

I hired Mr. Richards to represent my husband on an appeal from a Post Conviction. During oral argument, he was well prepared, knowledgeable, and effectively argued the crux of our case. He thoroughly dissected the constitutional claims before the Court and was swift in response to questions that were... raised. It is clear from his performance, that he is well accustomed to arguing in the Appellate Court. I highly recommend him.

I am a graduate student who called the office of Stephen L. Richards on a Saturday afternoon to ask some questions about criminal law. I wanted to make an appointment, Attorney Richards answered the phone and was willing right then to answer any questions that I had. Attorney Richards did not charg...e me one cent for the knowledge he shared. I learned a lot during that conversation. There are not many attorneys who would even answer their phone on a Saturday afternoon and be willing to share their knowledge with a student for free. The experience was absolutely amazing. I will gladly recommend anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney to Attorney Stephen Richard, he gives back to students and is extremely knowledgeable about criminal law. Terri

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.

Somebody give this man a cape, he really is a super lawyer! I payed another lawyer less, but was convicted, you really get what you pay for. It can cost me more in the long run! Mr Richards is a business man, and if he takes your case, and offers a payment plan, please pay him on time, it's not to...o much to ask for a man of his superior skills. I was being framed and facing 3 years in prison. He assured me that wouldn't happen. I now have my life back, with no jail time, no annoying probation officers, no more court dates. I will only use Mr. Richards from now on, HE IS WORTH IT!!! THANK YOU MR. RICHARDS!!!
