DUI hit and run

My son made a bad situation worse by giving false information to law enforcement that actually made charges worse than if he told the truth not because he was charged with lying but because he couldn't take back the lie. Stephanie was able to get the charges reduced to reckless driving with alcohol... involved which was probably the best that could be done, and she did it fairly quickly.

Excellent attorney

My wife was involved in an accident whereby she lost control of her vehicle and hit a street tree and sign. Given hers was the only vehicle and no other persons were involved, she didn't know what to do. Given she was upset, but not injured, she decided to drive home. Because there was property dam...age, and she left the scene without putting a note on the tree, the police charged her with misdemeanor hit-and-run. We engaged Stephanie to represent her, and she successfully got the charge reduced to an infraction, failure to exchange information. We were very well satisfied with Stephanie's services, professionalism, and ability to help us put this behind us.

A Driven Defense Attorney Who Cares About Her Clients

Stephaine took the time to look at the best approach in fighting our legal case and reviewed all potential avenues. She showed compassion to our situation and was highly respected in the court room by all involved in the legal system. Thoughout our case, Stephaine continued open communication with... us regarding our case answering any questions large or small that came up with same day response time. Overall she is a unique attorney that anyone would be lucky to have represent them in any legal matter. I would highly recommend her as a trustworthy, dependable and very effective attorney.

A Compassionate Defense Attorney

Stephanie Rickard shows a true interest in her client's well-being and legal rights. I have had other attorneys defend me, but none of them came close to her level of combined professionalism, attention to detail and confidence-building trust. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a strong advo...cate in court.

Stephanie Rickard was a joke!

My first impression was on entering her reception. I approached the desk and I said good morning to the male clerk at the reception desk. He said nothing, only "yes". I repeated myself and said good morning on which he replied, "Yes". This happened for a third time with the same reply. I couldn't bel...ieve how rude he was and I do wish that I had done a 180° and left. I ignored his ignorance and informed him that I had an appointment with Stephanie Rickard. To cut a long story short she never informed me that I had a warrant out for my arrest and I found out by chance by another attorney after I had paid her up front. I was always hopeful that she might pull through for me but she was always slow to return my calls and I never felt properly informed or that she was there for me. My instincts was proven right at the end of my court dates etc..I wish I had not paid her upfront she was not at all in my corner. ..I would definitely not recommend her. "All power corrupts". The economy is due to collapse this September and she will be brought down like the rest of us...that applies to her pathetic clerk at reception. Good riddance!

I am sorry that you did not feel that the receptionist treated you well. I am concerned because this is my only negative review and I do not have a client with your fact pattern. I would appreciate it if you could call me to discus this so that we can address this issue.
