What a great lawyer!

I retained Ms. Rickard as my representation based on the execellent review on this website and it turned out totally true! Stephanie is such a professional that correctly advised me of many actions to help my case. She took all my concerns, worries, and confusions into account. She kept me informed a...ll the way. Each time I called her, I heard back the same day. She also answered my emails as soon as possible. You can not tell how caring that was, especially if you were anxious about your case. Now my case got a successful outcome and I returned to my busy but peaceful life. Thank you Stephanie for all that you did for me. If anybody needs a representation for his/her lawsuit, I strongly recommend Ms. Stephanie Rickard.

Great Attorney! I have never had such a great experience

Stephanie Rickard is by far the best attorney I have hired. I have dealt with a few attorneys in the past and she is by far the most responsive. Going through any legal case, it is hardest not knowing what is going on and Stephanie does a great job at keeping you informed. I received my DUI about 6 m...onths ago and had many consultations. All of the attorneys seemed to give a lot of the same information but none seemed as concerned and helpful as Stephanie. I had a few possible outcomes in my case and Stephanie was able to get my charge reduced to a wet and reckless (my best possible outcome). This did not come easy, Stephanie made sure to explore all defense possibilities and did not push me to settle quickly when the outcome did not seem possible. My situation was unique in that I received my DUI in Santa Clara country but work a ways away. Stephanie made it so easy for me to remain where I work and not have to return to the area every time there was a new development in my case. I must reiterate that Stephanie was able to alleviate all my concerns by staying in constant contact with me. I am someone who was very high anxiety about my case and how it would affect my life. Every time I called Stephanie, I usually heard back the same day and I cannot emphasize how comforting that was. Thank you Stephanie for helping me so much!

Caring and reliable, excellent attorney.

I was impressed with Stephanie right away. I left her a voice mail and she returned my phone call within 45 minutes. I had been in a car accident and was arrested with DUI charges. I was very stressed about what was going to happen, and Stephanie made me feel very comfortable and it was so easy to be... myself and talk to her openly about the whole thing. She never made me feel like I was the bad guy, she was very empathetic. Any time I called and left messages, she always called me back right away. I believe Stephanie helped me out tremendously with my case and I am so happy that I had her to defend and support me. When I was not able to leave work to meet with her to review the details of my court case coming up, she offered to come meet me at my place of work and did just that. In my place of business, we strive to go "Above and Beyond", and I feel that this is exactly what she did for me, was go above and beyond. I would definitely reccomend her and would absolutely use her services again. (Although that will not be happening, I have learned my lesson!)

Consumate Professional

Ms. Rickard is the absolute consumate professional, and without question the most thorough, personable, knowledgeable, and results-oriented attorney I have ever worked with. Her accessibility, concern, and follow-through are just a few of her many strong attributes as both a wonderful person and as ...an outstanding attorney.
