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.

Stephanie is a Godsend!

Years ago I worked as a manager inside a prominent legal firm in downtown San Jose, so when I found myself in legal trouble, I naturally turned to one of the patent lawyers with whom I'd worked for help finding a criminal defense attorney. I was told in no uncertain terms that Stephanie Rickard... was the best defense lawyer in Santa Clara County, and my experience hiring her to defend me leads me to believe that it's true. Before becoming a criminal defense attorney, Stephanie worked in the district attorney's office in Santa Clara County; thus, she knows both sides of the aisle and is well respected by judges and prosecutors which translates into a stronger defense for her clients. I was facing time in jail, but Stephanie was able to eventually have the case dismissed! Throughout the ordeal, from beginning to end, she was straight forward and comforting. Stephanie was an answer to prayer, and I was extremely fortunate to have her represent me. If you're in criminal trouble, she's the one to hire!

THE BEST

I searched for a lawyer, and one name kept popping up, always with a perfect rating, attorney Stephanie Rickard. During our consultations, Stephanie was so empathetic to my situation, so positive and hopeful that the issue would be resolved in the best possible way for me. Stephanie went way beyo...nd what you would expect of an attorney; so generous with her valuable time, and so reasonable with her fees. It's so very rare you meet an attorney that cares more about you in your hour of need, then about your money; Stephanie is truly one of a kind! Long story short, Stephanie pulled off nothing short of a miracle! I was so very fortunate to find Attorney Stefanie Rickard to help and represent me! I'm forever grateful!!

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!
