Highly Recommended - 5 Star Experience

I’m happy to recommend the services of Stephanie M. Rickard to anyone in need of a great DUI lawyer. In December 2013 I made the poor decision to drink and drive, my poor decision resulted in an accident and my arrest. It was a week before Christmas and since I had never been in any kind of legal t...rouble I was a nervous wreck. AVVO helped me locate DUI attorneys in the San Jose. I interviewed a total of 6 by phone and only two were responsive during the holidays. Stephanie was the only one available to meet with me on the 23rd. I was ready to hire another attorney but after meeting Stephanie I knew she was the attorney for me: professional, communicative, compassionate, and competent. She explained the legal process to me and began to calm my nerves. All of my questions were answered in a timely manner and she kept me well informed via phone, text, and email. When it was time to review the police report she was flexible about scheduling an appointment with me to discuss my plea and a list of possible outcomes. When the day of my arraignment finally arrived she called me right away to let me know the outcome.

Brilliant attorney

Stephanie is an excellent attorney who knows the law very well..She was able to help me during a very stressful time I was possibly facing a probation violation. Stephanie not only prevented that from happening, but got the judge to take me off formal probation and grant me court probation after I co...mpleted my DV classes.. The judges and other attorneys know her and respect her.. I would recommend Stephanie for any criminal case as she is wonderful. She also is very responsive to emails and calls.

Helpful, knowledgeable, professional

I'm very thankful and lucky to have Stephanie’s help on my case. She is very knowledgeable, sharp and professional. She came with a plan quickly after I shared my situation with her and then followed through. With her help I was able to go through a diversion program---community service and classes-...--in exchange for trespassing to not be on my record, and I'm very thankful for that. I would certainly recommend her expertise to others.

I highly recommend Ms. Rickard for anyone who needs the best defense for their case.

Ms Stephanie Rickard - Great Attorney!

Ms Rickard represented my 19-year old son for a minor in possession case. She was very professional, honest and knowledgeable while handling the case. Kept us informed of hearings, updates from the hearings and judges decisions. Both my son and I found Ms Rickard very trustworthy and felt she was alw...ays keeping my son's best interest foremost when managing the case. We first contacted her through an internet search and count our blessings that we picked her as our attorney. I would strongly recommend Ms Rickard to anyone who needs legal help.
