Great Attorney!

I hired Stephanie to represent me for a DUI. I was extremely nervous and scared as I had never had any experience or knowledge about the DUI process. Stephanie was very reassuring and walked me each step of the way through this ordeal. She was very honest and upfront. I would highly recommend her if... you need assistance with a DUI arrest.

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.

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.
