THE BEST

I searched for a lawyer, and one name kept popping up, always with a perfect rating, attorney Stephanie Rickard. During our consultations, Stephanie was so empathetic to my situation, so positive and hopeful that the issue would be resolved in the best possible way for me. Stephanie went way beyo...nd what you would expect of an attorney; so generous with her valuable time, and so reasonable with her fees. It's so very rare you meet an attorney that cares more about you in your hour of need, then about your money; Stephanie is truly one of a kind! Long story short, Stephanie pulled off nothing short of a miracle! I was so very fortunate to find Attorney Stefanie Rickard to help and represent me! I'm forever grateful!!

Best Attorney in the Bay Area!

I found myself in a situation and I needed an attorney. After reading reviews and speaking with several law offices I went to meet with Stephanie Rickard. She took notes and asked questions as I explained what had happened. She reassured me and explained how the process would work and what she cou...ld do for me. As I left her office I felt confident that I was in good hands. And I was! Stephanie followed up with the court and ultimately got the best settlement possible for my situation. Stephanie is knowledgable and smart. She worked hard for me and justice prevailed. I recommend Stephanie highly!

Smart and effective attorney

We hired Stephanie to represent our young adult son for major charges involving mostly stupidity and alcohol. She was very efficient (able to come to court on short notice), courteous (treated him like a human vs scum), and was able to rapidly devise a very effective defense plan She was able to have... one charge dropped, and a much reduced sentence for the other charge based on extenuating medical issues. Overall, a much better outcome than we had dared hope for. I am absolutely sure he would not have gotten this sentence if we had just used the public defender. I would recommend Stephanie Rickard without hesitation to anyone for major legal issues, and my son said he already recommended her to 3 acquaintances.

Best in Santa Clara County

Stephanie Rickart is an absolute lifesaver. This is the second (2nd) time I have retained her as my lawyer. She has delivered both times with impeccable results. I have absolutely zero The result/deliberations of the Findings of Fact are only the tip-of-the-iceberg. The processes involved with Court ...Motions, Discovery, and the like are shrouded in as mystery to me as they may be to someone that has never stepped foot into a courtroom. To be completely honest, I have no idea how or what goes into being a top-tier defense attorney. It was not my calling, and will always defer that responsibility to my betters. A few things I can comment on are: the care, dependability, understanding, and concern that Stephanie has provided. I truly feel Stephanie, not only wants to negotiate the best outcome for her clients, but also genuinely looks at lifestyle concerns and individual situations. She takes all this into account while handling the things that we all would like to put behind us. She has consistently delivered, by far, the most outstanding results that I could wish for, and does so with conduct that clearly demonstrates the way elite legal work should be handled. Both times she has handled my dilemmas (2 DUIs w/in 10yrs), I have had complete peace of mind, both throughout the process and scheduled court appearances. I was facing jail-time and ridiculous fines/loss of license/DUI school, etc. She had all my charges reduced and no loss of license; no jail-time either. It is so beneficial to know that the retained legal entity you invest into has your best interests at heart completely. This is the type of treatment you will experience with Stephanie Rickart. I would not trust my rights and freedoms to anyone else. She is quite simply the Best; and she will be in your corner throughout. Thank you so much Ma’am. Bless you.

THE BEST ATTORNEY EVER! WOW!

Stephanie has represented me multiple times. She is great. She has a good repoire with judges and the DA. She is compassionate, articulate, reliable, down-to-earth, and works hard on your case as if it is the only one she has. Her rates are reasonable. She does not keep gouging you for more. I ...would highly recommend her and noone else for criminal defense.
