Amazing!!!

I cannot recommend Stephanie Rickard enough! From the moment I reached out to her, she has been nothing short of amazing. Her knowledge and expertise in criminal defense are truly impressive, but what really sets her apart is her genuine care for her clients. Stephanie is incredibly responsive—she ...answered my calls and texts even when she was on vacation, late at night, or early in the morning. That level of dedication provided me with peace of mind during a very stressful time. When she represents you in court, you immediately feel that you are in great hands. It's clear that everyone in the courthouse respects Stephanie; she commands attention and has great competition but remains honest and straightforward in her approach. If you find yourself in a situation where you need legal help and are reading this review, look no further—Stephanie is exactly who you need. I went through all of her reviews one by one when I found myself on the wrong side of the law and I can assure you that she deserves all of those 5 star reviews and those reviews are nothing but the truth about her and how she will present you at court. She has been a blessing, and I am so grateful for her support. After God's help, she is everything you need! Thank you, Stephanie, for being such a fantastic lawyer and a wonderful person! Feel free to adjust any parts to better fit your sentiments!

BEST ATTORNEY IN THE BAY AREA!!!

Stephanie is the best criminal defense lawyer in the Bay Area. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. Without her, I would be ended up in jail. She reduced my charge to a lesser charge. She kept me informed in every step. She also helped me a lot along the way. She could answer every single question ...that I had. I was right for choosing Stephanie to represent me. Thank you very much.

Ms Rickard is THE BEST

I was terrified when I was slapped with a hit and run charge following a tap to another car's bumper. Ms Rickard returned my call on a SUNDAY after I left a message for her. She represented me in court and obtained the best possible outcome for the case. I followed the court's rules and the case w...as eventually dismissed. Every interaction with Ms Rickard was smooth and easy to understand. I've never had anything to do with a court and I was quite scared. I was more than satisfied with her expertise and prompt handling of my case. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Honest lawyer and responsive team

I would like to start saying she is very experienced. From the consulting to the court date, made me feel well represented. From her team, Linda was very kind and responsive to my silly questions. Also, she is judgement free and just gave me positive advises , just listen to her opinion of your case... and take it from there. I'm very surprised how responsive she was with me , knowing she must be a very busy attorney. I did research and is exactly what others say, an excellent person and attorney. I would keep going on and on, but is not neccesary. She is transparent anf straight forward.
