Great lawyer to work with!

She was able to thoroughly analyze my situation and provided couple scenarios that were similar to my case. I could feel that she knows what she is doing for sure. The result could have not been better and she was super nice and prompt on my sudden requests for appintments as well.

Stephanie Rickard is masterful

Stephanie Rickard never gives up and has positive relationships with all the DA's , Judges and staff. She tells you what she can do and then gets it done. She performed with the highest integrity for me and achieved the BEST case scenario. Don't hire an attorney without meeting her first.

Best Lawyer, period.

So I'm sure you all know how bad a divorce can go and the details of that are not important for this review. What is important is that once the ex cleaned me out and used every common system manipulation to destroy my heart, finances, career and the such while living the night life I panicked and ran... for a lawyer. I did my homework and landed on the choice of having Stephanie represent me after the ugliest divorce got uglier and Santa Clara County granted a temporary restraining order on me and I didn't realize that a few phone calls to see my children would get me arrested due to the ex claiming false accusations and played the I'm scared card in front of a judge. Okay so I'm not an "in trouble with the law" type of guy and don't know the language of the courts at all, but Stephanie definitely does in a major way. we would walk in and all other cases would stop so we could take care of business and be gone. That is no exaggeration. This woman knows her stuff, knows her territory, and knows everyone in that territory both for and opposing. I don't care what your case is. Stephanie will handle it. I never thought I would say this and mean it, but when it came time to pay her for her flawless services it was more than reasonable. To be honest, by the end of the civil side of the divorce I haven't much left and she most likely could sense that. I have to go against the stereotypical point of view and say Stephanie pulls off being a great lawyer and having a big heart.

A satisfied client

First off, going through a DUI case can be one of the most stressful and nerve wrecking events in a persons life and it can happen to ANYBODY! I solicited legal representation from Stephanie after a referral and felt I was in good hands from the start. She and her team thoroughly examined and ev...aluated all aspects of the case, patientely answered all questions, and most importantly provided clear and detailed instructions on what steps to take in the process and when. She has excellent rapport with the courts and judges and defended my case to the full extent of the law. There's no substitute for caring and effective legal representation, and that is exactly what was provided to me. Don't put your trust in an advertised DUI lawyer, take my personal testimony as a referral and ask for a consultation from Stephanie should the need arise.

Honest Attorney

I had some problems with a business that the City Planning Department and Sheriff Department were harassing me. I hired a lawyer to represented me. I payed him a lot of money and never got any results. Because of him I actually received more citations. That took a year. I decided to look for another ...Attorney and found Stephanie Rickard on Yelp. I made an appointment and met her. She was 100% different from the other Attorney, she actually cared. She explained what she could do for me and said she would talk to the City Officials for me. Long story short, In two weeks she had my case brought to Court and had half of the citations dropped. The other ones were reduced to infractions. I suffered for over a year and she cleared it up in two weeks. Great, Friendly, Knowledgable Attorney. I definitely would recommend her. If your stuck with a bad lawyer get someone else.
