Need representation when it comes to Criminal Law - Stephanie Rickard is highly recommended, she is an expert

Attorney Stephanie Rickard knows her subject matter and very professional. She did not sugar coat on what I might expect for the outcome of my case not like other lawyers I dealt with in the past just all the promises but no results or actions. But she gave me hope on what she can do to improve my si...tuation and wow! she did. She told me her plans A, B, C & so on before my hearing and she executed them very systematically. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs representation when it comes to Criminal Law, she rocks!

Excellent Criminal Defense Counsel

Stephanie Rickard represented me in a court case and I was extremely pleased with her services, the outcome and follow up. At all times I was sure I was receiving the best, most informed advice possible. I selected Stephanie after interviewing several other attorneys practicing in her field. I saved ...a small fortune by following Stephanie's advice on what legal actions would be worthwhile. I have talked to others with similar legal issues who have followed other courses of action with little or no improvement in the outcome. Stephanie was well aware of those actions and explained all of them to me but correctly advised me of their worth thus preventing my wasting huge sums of money and time. I wholeheartedly recommend this attorney.

Professional, responsive, knowledgeable

Stephanie was a great attorney to have for my DUI case. Her experience includes having worked with the Santa Clara DA's office, which gives her a perspective from the prosecution side of things. She very clearly explained to me what angles we could attack my particular case from. She saved me the tim...e of having to spend hours scouring the web on the legal and DMV associated issues with my case. I ended up getting the best outcome I could for my case. She would respond to my inquiries and questions promptly. Most importantly though, I felt I could trust her as my attorney as she came off as genuine and seemed to really care about helping me get the best out of my case. The same cannot be said for some of the DUI attorneys hired by my friends, who ended up with a harsher sentence and spent more money.

Anyone is legal misery must consult her for the best possible solution

- June 2011- Stephanie is the most compassionate, genuine and reliable criminal attorney in the Santa County with high level of experience and expertise in dealing with the most complicated cases in the best possible manner. We are so very grateful to her for rescuing us from the DV nightmare we pa...ssed through recently. My husband and I are blessed to have her by our side. We would recommend her to any one suffering from a legal despair and not knowing whom to approach. She is the most reasonable and undoubtedly the best in bay area. A Very Thankful Client-Couple (B & M)
