Contact Stephanie, you won’t regret this professional!

After I got arrested I was down and out, I couldn’t stop crying and all I could think of is me being away from my children in jail. She helped me with my 4th DUI. She’s the reason I’m sober. Because of Stephanie’s encouraging words, help and guidance, I’m 6 months sober and I’m going to keep adding a...nd adding months until they turn to years. She really empowered me and understood. She told me things I needed to hear, you know? Things that I can’t hear from my parents because my parents are dead. She defended me and I really love, respect and appreciate you Stephanie! I’m so serious, thank you for understanding, empowering and comforting me when I was down and and at my lowest. This professional is a powerhouse! Thank you! Thank you!

Excellent

We hired Stephanie to represent our son in a DUI accident. The case became incredibly complex and she navigated us through it all using her deep knowledge of the law, and experience. We are nearing the end of an arduous 3-year journey, and Stephanie has been by our side throughout.

Stephanie is your best ROI

While I made the worst decision that resulted in a DUI, hiring Stephanie and her team was the best decision. They are one of a kind, and the best ROI no doubt. I was referred to Stephanie by a friend and I'm so grateful for that referral. I spoke to a handful of attorneys for my DUI case prior -- St...ephanie easily came off as the most knowledgeable and experienced. She is a straight shooter and very affordable. It was clear she knew what she was doing - laying my predicted outcome in minutes. Sometimes she didn't get back to me as mentioned, but just follow up and she'll get back. I think its important to put things in perspective -- I'm one of many clients and DUI cases are generally straightforward compared to the criminal cases she manages. I could tell she had my best interest while being very direct with the expected outcome. She represented me in court, took care of all the documents and processes, and her team (shoutout to Jorge and Linda) jumped in to navigate me through the hundreds of questions I had for DUI classes, license, community service, and many more. This was my first time getting in trouble with the law, so I was overwhelmed, terrified, and devastated, I'm not sure I would've been treated with so much respect and kindness and received such positive outcome had it not been for Stephanie and her team. 1000% recommend Stephanie Rickard.

Experienced, Effective and Compassionate - Stephanie Rickard

If I could leave a 10-star review, I would. Stephanie Rickard is amazing, and her experience and professionalism are exactly what I was looking for when I needed the support of a lawyer. She was quick to work out and explain her approach, handled everything with a compassionate attitude, and is quick... to respond to any questions I had. It was exactly what is needed in such a difficult time. She came highly recommended, and after having her work so diligently on my case, I can see why. I am very happy with the results of the case. If anyone is looking for a DUI defense attorney in the Bay Area, definitely go with Stephanie!
