She is the best!

Stephanie is the most sweetest, helping attorney I ever worked with. She was willing to work me and did everything in her power to help me. I thank Stephanie for all she did in my case. The consequences could have been worse due to my repeat offense. Stephanie was able to close out my case, keeping t...he stress and worry out of my mind. Thank you so much Stephanie. I would defiantly refer her for all your legal proceedings. Regards, Tamba Moiwa.

Just wonderful

It was great to have Stephanie on our side for a DV case. We chose her because of her direct candid demeanor and a take no sh*t attitude. She was very upfront and realistic and felt that she worked very hard to get the best possible result on our case. She got the case down better than anticipated,... which put a smile on our face from ear to ear. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and an overall pleasure to work with. I would hire and recommend her again and again.

Juvenile case

Stephanie has been great for our case. She was able to position the facts correctly to get the case dismissed. Stephanie’s years of work as a prosecutor, her knowledge of the law/courts and her persuasive personality make for an extremely effective advocate to have on your side. Would highly recommen...d her.

5-Stars and more for being a great lawyer and amazing human being!

Stephanie Rickard is well known and respected both at the court and with fellow lawyers. She is knowledgeable, charismatic and well connected. She handled my domestic violence misdemeanor case and got the case dismissed when she came to know that the 911 call was staged by my ex-spouse based on the s...uggestion from his divorce lawyer as they did not want to give alimony. She not only listened to my situation with patience and got the case dismissed within 5 months of the incident, but also supported and guided me emotionally when I was in a state of shock and despair. He filed for divorce during the criminal case trial to harass me further and said he will hurt me on the criminal case if I asked for alimony (I did not take it anyway). After speaking with several well-respected professionals, non-profit organizations and VC’s in the Bay Area about my experience, I found that many divorce lawyers in California recommend their clients to stage 911 call over their spouse to avoid paying alimony. This is absolutely brutal and unethical and the criminal court/community must be made aware of this. 5 starts to Stephanie for being a great criminal defense lawyer and an additional one for being a great human being. Thank you for helping me get my life back on track. We definitely need more people like her in the legal community!

The best attorney you can hire

I was arrested for a DUI last April, I’d never been arrested before and the whole situation had me on edge for what felt like a lifetime. I read through Stephanie’s reviews and I knew she would be the best person to help me. At first I was a little wary that her reviews were too good to be true, but ...not even slightly! Stephanie and I spoke on the phone and she explained how the case would proceed, how long it would take and the different elements to it. She is incredibly patient (despite me being impatient as it was my first time) and knowledgeable, and does not promise anything that he cannot deliver. I met with her shortly after our phone call and we talked some more, she told me she would try his best to get my DUI down to a reckless driving. I was relieved that there was hope that I would be able to walk away from my situation without a DUI on my record for the next few years! I left her office with a huge smile on my face! Stephanie not only helped with my court case, but also with my DMV hearings which helped me not getting my license suspended and keeping my driving history clean. Finally my case had been rejected by the District Attorney’s and the charges have been completely dismissed! I’m so incredibly happy with the results Stephanie worked for and I feel so blessed to have Stephanie on my side to help me through my DUI! I would recommend as your first lawyer for the best outcome of your case.
