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.

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!

Great Lawyer - Professional, Cares About Her Clients and Very Responsive

Stephanie Rickard is an awesome attorney. From the minute you hire her for her services she takes over and puts your mind at ease. She goes the extra mile for her clients. I didn't even have to show up in court - she took care of everything. Her expertise with the entire court system protects the... clients. She has relationships in place with the court system which benefits the client. I would recommend attorney Rickard if you have any case which requires a competent attorney. Mark B

Best Lawyer I have ever worked with

Stephanie was by far the best defense attorney I have ever worked with. I was caught up in a unfortunate situation where I was facing license suspension, delaying an officer, and a felony possession. Two of the three circumstances were no fault of my own, and the officer abused his authority. Stepha...nie heard my case and instantly took charge of the situation and handled everything! I never had to take a day off of work or even show up in a court room. She was able to reach reasonable compromise that was more than fair given the situation. She keep me informed every step of the way by phone and mail. I was always in the loop. Several times she had to appear in court to work out the stipulations for a dismal and through her experience, legal knowledge, and sheer persistence , the ultimate goal was accomplished and the issue was resolved. Case closed!!! She not only took care of the problem but secured a solid future for me in that I would still maintain a clean record. Words can't describe how grateful I am for a legit, and honest lawyer. On behalf of my family and myself thank you Stephanie!

A Must Hire

Stephanie Rickard was very knowledgable and confident from the first phone conversation of scheduling a consultation through the filing and successfully assisting in the approval of my record expungment. Thanks to her experience and professionalism, I felt well guided and confident in our legal proce...ss. I would highly recommend her services.
