Don't look any further!

I can not express how fortunate I feel for having Stephanie take my case. From the very beginning she went way above and beyond what any other attorney would do. Stephanie's fees are surprisingly affordable for the amount of effort she puts into your case. She always kept me informed of everything th...at was taking place and pushed for the best possible outcome, which she unbelievably accomplished by having my charges reduced. Stephanie continues to guide me through the "recovery" process and DMV nightmare. If you are in need of legal support or council, do yourself a favor and contact Stephanie, you will not be disappointed.

Extremely Knowledgeable

In January, I decided to drink and drive and got pulled over for my poor choice. Doing a bit of research, I became very worried about the stuff I'd have to go through since a DUI carries with it a hefty fine and also a mandatory suspension of the license. For me, I was worried about the effects on my... day-to-day life since I was dealing with difficult things at work and home at the time. Stephanie was able to explain the best and worst case scenarios in a way that made sense to me, and assured me that I wouldn't have to go to jail for my first offense (which would have been devastating to my life if I wasn't able to take care of my personal stuff at that point). What amazed me was that my arm had gotten badly bruised from the blood test I opted for and she was able to immediately figure out the person who drew my blood to use as evidence if necessary. The attention to detail and knowledge of the people and factors for DUI cases in the area was what made me choose Stephanie after talking to a couple of other lawyers. I didn't feel pressured to make a decision, and the entire office was very good at communicating with me discreetly and promptly via phone and through email based on my preferences. This way, I was able to take care of a busy work schedule without worrying about being caught at bad times. Her simple explanations of confusing legal things really helped keep me get on with my regular life and ease into the things I needed to do after the court date. She always had a current strategy that she would continually update based on whatever factors became known as it got closer to the court date. It ended up that the police officer had done absolutely everything right on their end and I was convicted of a DUI with 0.18 BAC, but Stephanie took care of all of my paperwork and made sure I stayed out of jail. I've talked to other people with similar cases and they've had heftier sentences than I received. The best part of it all is the fact that I didn't have to spend any time in court, and I was notified promptly of all news related to the case. For someone so disorganized as myself, it was worth having Stephanie represent me just for the simple fact of making sure all the paperwork was properly handled because I'm pretty sure I would have missed something if I tried to do everything myself. Getting a DUI and learning about the consequences can come as a major shock, but definitely give Stephanie Rickard a call to make sure your case is handled properly.

One hell of a attorney

Stephanie is such a honest and trustworthy person .. She handled my case and is now handling my expungement. Unlike many attorneys who are out just for money , Stephanie truly cares and wants the best for the client . Very reasonable to talk to . I would not go to anyone else as long as she's in busi...ness .. Hopefully I won't need a attorney again , but if I do , Stephanie is the only one

Great Attorney!

I hired Stephanie to represent me for a DUI. I was extremely nervous and scared as I had never had any experience or knowledge about the DUI process. Stephanie was very reassuring and walked me each step of the way through this ordeal. She was very honest and upfront. I would highly recommend her if... you need assistance with a DUI arrest.

Thank You Stephanie!!! You are amazing

Stephanie Rickard was an awesome attorney. I have never been in trouble with the law until my recent DUI. I was lost, depressed, and worried about what was going to happen next. I gave Stephanie a call and scheduled a consultation. The consultation was amazing and I decided to hire her on the spot. ...She made me feel at ease, and I was finally able to relax and not stress so much. Stephanie answered all the questions I had. I would just be sitting around the house, at work, or out shopping and I would text her random questions regarding my case. She would always respond to each text with the answer I was looking for. When it was time for my court date, Stephanie appeared on my behalf and called me right away with the outcome. I was expecting so many different harsh penalties, but the outcome was not even close to what I was expecting, all thanks to Stephanie. Stephanie is a wonderful lawyer and I would highly recommend her services. Hopefully I don’t get into any more legal trouble, but if I do I know who to call.
