Stephanie Rickard

Twice in my life I have been visited by an angel, when all hope was lost. Once many years ago in a form of a young police officer. He appeared and disappeared just as quickly, after saving my life! I never had a chance to hug him and thank him for what he had done, strangely, I was never able to find him after the traumatic event.
The second time an angel came into my life was just a few months ago, and it was attorney Stephanie Rickard. This time I’m blessed with the chance of thanking her, and I want to do it publicly, so everyone knows!
I did something stupid, broke the law, and was rightfully caught. I’m not a bad person, I just made a bad choice. At this point in my life, being found guilty, would pretty much put an end to any future job prospects. Being unemployed, financially nearly broke, no family to speak of, and alone, getting a conviction would be the last nail in the coffin. My Lord and Creator, knowing my heart, sent me Stephanie to help me in my darkest hour of need.
I can’t thank Stephanie enough… she is not only a brilliant attorney, but a kind and compassionate human being with a beautiful heart! Stephanie went way beyond what you could expect of an attorney… I can’t put into words the depth of the kindness of this human being.
When I needed a miracle, Stephanie was my miracle, when I need to know that there are indeed kind and caring people in this world, Stephanie appeared in my life. I’m so thankful to God for her!
Her staff was always extremely nice, patient and empathetic to my situation, no matter how many times I would call in a state of panic.
Thank you so much for the words of wisdom, and encouragement each time we spoke, Stephanie! I can’t thank you enough, for you have given me hope and a deep belief that there are wonderful things ahead for me in my life!

If you’re in a jam, searching for a lawyer, stop now — this is the one you want. Starting with the first consultation I felt immediately better about my situation. Now that the case is over, I could not be happier or more satisfied with the outcome. Seriously, pick this one.

Stephanie is a phenomenal lawyer who will do everything in her power to help you with whatever is necessary. She makes you feel comfortable and she makes you feel at ease in your time of need. I highly recommend Stephanie!

Stephanie is a phenomenal attorney. She responds in a timely manner. She knows what she’s doing. She has a good reputation with the judges and district attorney’s. Most importantly, she truly shows empathy and concern for her clients. This is rare among attorneys. She is a genuinely nice person, not out to just get money.

I am a licensed Private Investigator who has worked a number of cases with Stephanie. She makes sure that her clients are always given the best possible defense and that all stones are turned over during the investigation phase. With her vast experience in the criminal justice system particularly here in Santa Clara county, Stephanie knows how to get the best possible outcome for her clients.

I don’t write reviews often but what Stephanie pulled off in court for me was nothing short of a miracle (At least for me). Long story short I fired my prior attorney who was telling me I was probably going to jail b/​c Santa Clara Co likes to punish people, ok. So on short notice I called Stephanie and she agreed to show up in court the next day. In less than an hour in court she save my job, my home and my freedom. Needless to say she’s a top-​notch lawyer. Thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie is an amazing attorney — she’s knowledgable, professional, and well known in the valley. Do yourself a favor and go with her.

I strongly agree with the other reviews. Stephanie Rickard is an awesome lawyer. First meeting with her gave me a feeling of calmness and trust. She took down notes right away to get the key information of my situation. She asked pertinent questions and process it while we were discussing. I didn’t feel the lawyer-​client animosity at all as she puts me at ease while listening. I am so grateful and appreciative of the time that she spent with me. Thanks for the guidance and honest opinion. You are highly recommended. I salute!

Stephanie is an amazing attorney. She went out of her way for me numerous times. She’s very personable and won’t judge you. When i needed her help, she was there with great advice and she always responded to my many questions in a very timely manner. She made me feel like i didn’t have anything to worry about. Stephanie treated me more like a friend than a customer, and that goes a very long way. I would definitely recommend her work!

My boyfriend was had a few criminal convictions, which I did not know of until he was arrested and in jail. This was a traumatic phase for me because I myself do not get in trouble and having a boyfriend in jail was an out of the ordinary experience for me. I was going through a lot trying to get him out, and I had to get him out of jail, so I went to consult with a few attorneys. The only person that made me feel at ease was Stephanie. She said what she would do, she read ALL the small details of the case (which other attorneys did not). She took my case although it was a shit load of mess. She fought like a lion to get the best deal possible, as there are a lot of moving parts to law, she found the best possible outcome for his case. I was impressed how she tried her best with the judges the fiscal (prosecutor who wants your head oh yes she does) Stephanie inspired me tremendously. She is such a beautiful, intelligent woman. Although she’s a lawyer and looks sharp and very high class, she is really humble, personable, and such a great person. She is a perfect example of what ALL lawyers should be like. I totally recommend her without thinking twice.

I went to Stephanie for some legal help a few months ago and she’s been there every step for me, answering my hundreds of questions without making me feel like I’m a bother. The first time I spoke on the phone with her, I knew I wanted her as my lawyer. She was so down to earth and didn’t judge me… which was something I really needed at that time.
It is easy to get a hold of Stephanie as she told me I could always email, text or call her. Even now that my case is over, she responds to my questions via text quickly and gives me informative answers.
She met up with me in my neighborhood so I wouldn’t have to drive so far to see her, which made it so helpful for me.
Although, I hope I’d never need her help anymore, I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needed any legal help!

Stephanie is a phenomanal attorney. She really knows what she is doing. She was able to not only get me the best possible results for my case when things could have been a lot worse for me. I highly recommend her.

I am not proud to say i have two duis but i do; and this attorney has done more to help me than I ever imagined any attorney ever would. She is personable, non judgmental, and judges seem to respect and know her. She isn’t pricey and is worth every dollar that she does charge. She has gone before the judge and helped me change things in my order such as community service days, helped me get a reduced sentence, and reinstated my dui classes with no xtra fines when I screwed up and missed too many classes due to financial hardship. Last time i was in trouble she even showed up without me calling her because she saw my name on the docket! She is amazing! This is the lawyer that changed my mind about what I think about lawyers. She is wonderful. You should call her if you need a criminal attorney. I cant imagine a better all around choice.

When you need the very best…
I was fortunate to get Stephanie Rickard’s phone number from a friend at a time when I needed the advice and counsel of a good criminal lawyer. Even before I met her in person, she answered my questions and took my phone calls. Through the course of my case and afterward, she has proven to be an expert in her field, and a lawyer who commands the respect and admiration of everyone in the court system. She sets a high standard for all attorneys to meet, and I would recommend her without reservation.
