10/10 Counsel, Case Dismissed

Kenneth Sheffield is one of the most professional, confident, and assuring lawyers I’ve ever encountered. I found myself in a very unfortunate situation, and by the grace of God, I found the Rideout Law Group. Whether it was answering my questions at a minute’s notice, to transferring my case from th...e Public Defender’s Office with only a very short time frame available, Rideout Law Group handled absolutely every step with ease. Shortly after retaining a more professional and “by the book” counsel (Mr. Sheffield), compared to my assigned public defender, my case was ultimately dismissed. Do NOT play with your future and your record, especially in the state of Arizona. I would refer Mr. Sheffield and the Rideout Law Group to my family if the time ever came.

Helpful and Knowledgable about traffic court

Ken returned my call pretty quickly regarding a traffic ticket and was not only willing to help me out, but even explained how to go about things myself (traffic court, mind you... not something more serious) if I was not able to afford his services. I am sure he does not have the time to do that fo...r everyone, but he seemed very nice and was very helpful for me. At the end of the day, I expect that I will hire him just because he was so nice, so knowledgeable about the system and so helpful.

Excellent lawyer

Ken is an excellent lawyer who knows his way around the criminal justice system. We were forced to seek counsel after CPS became involved in our lives. Ken was very informed about CPS polices and procedures, even more so than the CPS case workers. He doesn't restrain himself to traditional office ...hours and would promptly return our phones calls. Ken is very dedicated to his cases and is willing to go the extra mile for you case. He is very understanding and an overall good person. He gave my family a great deal and was always willing to work with us and set up payment plans. The best experience we have ever had with an attorney and I would recommend him to everyone.
