Stephany is an amazing attorney she took care of me No words can explain how thankful and blessed I am for her services to any LGBTQ plus member out there struggling to find a good lawyer, I recommend Stephany Ricard hands-down she is the best in the business she is amazing at her job. She is one of kindest ladies I’ve ever met not only is she kind she is caring she gets the job done she fought for me when no els would and I will never forget what she did for me

Stephanie is the best lawyer I would expect to handle the defense case of mine. I was totally in panic and was helpless when I talked to her. Her professionalism and kind words calmed me down. She is really knowledgeable and experienced, and the case is successfully rejected as she claimed would’ve. To my perspective, she is a candid and trustable attorney who does not brag but gets problem solved firmly. I would sincerely recommend Stephanie to anyone who needs legal advice and legal service.

Stephanie's honesty, experience, and mastery of the legal system surpasses virtuosity. Miss Rickard, is not judgmental, and commands court room respect on an un precedented level. Her dominating blend of fire and ice confidence, whether your situation is one that is a CNN news eliciting high profile case, or a first dui, is treated with equal aggressiveness and gets life changing, freedom based results. She's surrounded herself with a hard working, friendly, highly intellectual staff, and has affordably gone to battle for me, with a 100% success rate on several occasions. One such occasion, the second she walked into the court room on my behalf electricity was struck, her heart ablaze, and a very serious false, dishonest, allegations against me, that could have robbed me of what is most precious in life, freedom, was IMMEDIATELY dismissed and later that afternoon I was with my loving family and back to work the next day. Steph is a Valkyrie, a winner, and in the most competitive peninsula in the world (the Silicon Valley ) the Law office of Stephanie Rickard is unbeatable.

Where do I begin? I came to Stephanie with nothing good going for me. She never made me feel judged, she as well as her staff never made me feel like a “criminal.” It has been a long time coming to be free from the burden of proceedings, to sentences. It would have been much longer had I not been blessed enough to have had Stephanie in my corner. Thank you!

Stephanie is extremely professional and compassionate. She thrives for her clients and makes sure she’s their every step of the way. She helped my husband with a case and always had an outstanding communication. I highly recommend her!

Stephanie is one of the Best Attorney's you can ever reach out to. I required some legal assistance and her name popped up a lot in my research, I had reached out to other attorneys prior to reaching out to her, when I did reach out it was through a text message very late in the night expecting a text or a call next day. But I got a call from her within 30 mins. I have to admit I was extremely stressed at that moment as I needed some help. That one Phone call in the night where she heard me and asked me to come to her office thee next day explaining the do and don'ts that very night, specifically she told me to stay out of internet and reading or researching anything such as reviews or comments over the internet about users experience in general was a great plus. There is a lot of negativity out there... Since I met her in the office I knew I was in safe hands, and I should say she has taken absolute care of me through the process and made me feel safe and made sure that I know every step with absolute clarity. It is said to be successful you need IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and EQ (Emotional Quotient) in balance. That is exactly what I found with Stephanie. I should also call out her office and staff. Extremely caring and they make you feel as safe as you can feel. I would recommend Stephanie 100%.

I was so scared with the situation I was needing help for. Stephanie was kind and compassionate and handled the whole situation quickly and painlessly. I feel she went above and beyond for me. So grateful for her and her staff!

Excellent service by Mr Nafiz I mpressed by his expertise. He handled my case with professionalism and achieved an outstanding result

Mr. Ahmed is a great lawyer he does a great job, because him I could smile and be happy again, I totally recommend his services If I could give him 100 stars I will give it. Thank you for all your support and help because that my son was able to return home, and I know he achieved because he did everything possible to make that happen I’m very grateful for his help.

I can only speak in superlatives for Jim Larsen, Andy Gillin and the legal assistants staff at GJEL. They represented me following an accident in which I was hit by a car at a crosswalk while riding my bike. My ankle was broken and severely sprained, and the incident resulted in long-term pain and emotional trauma. My case involved two insurance companies, the driver's and my own because the driver was underinsured. Andy Gillin negotiated the case involving the driver's insurance company. He's firm and direct in negotiating. He predicted a hard case based on the particular company but it worked out quickly and they made a full settlement offer. Jim Larsen handled the 2nd case with my insurance company for underinsured motorist which proved to be challenging. He was dogged yet diplomatic at every turn. I did a deposition and, while personally very nervous, felt well-prepared and supported by Jim and the GJEL team. Jim concluded the case with a stellar written summation. The insurance company came back with a full settlement offer. I'm happy to have this case recently concluded and I thank Jim Larsen, Andy Gillin and the GJEL staff for their expertise and personal support, and recommend them and the firm with the highest regard.

Between early 2019 and late 2023, San Mateo County Superior Court tortured Nafiz and I by continuing my case over a dozen times. While some were for Covid court shutdowns, most were explained as the prosecution's witness had a vacation or otherwise failed to calendar it. Nafiz and I had- on most occasions- blocked off our calendars for a week, dry cleaned suits, traveled to the area, and showed up. This was at great expense to our time, productivity, and patience, and can only be explained as a tactic to bleed some plaintiffs dry financially, get them fired from their jobs, and grind them down. That is what you are up against! So, don't hesitate to take Nafiz's flat fees for DMV representation and trial. As to his performance, he was always responsive, gave personal attention to my case rather than delegation, immersed himself in the details, and even the arresting officer called him "very intelligent." I was very pleased with his performance.

Outstanding Legal Representation by Nafiz Ahmed I recently sought the assistance of a lawyer to apply for expungement and was fortunate enough to find Nafiz Ahmed. From our first consultation, I knew I was in capable hands. Despite the fact that I still had two weeks left to complete my probation, Nafiz's exceptional legal expertise and dedication to my case resulted in an outstanding outcome. He successfully achieved the early termination of my probation, allowing me to proceed with my expungement application without delay. Nafiz's professionalism, knowledge, and unwavering commitment to my case were evident throughout the process. He meticulously prepared and presented my motion, addressing every detail with precision. His strategic approach and persuasive arguments were instrumental in the judge granting my motion. I am extremely grateful for Nafiz Ahmed's hard work and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated lawyer. His efforts have made a significant positive impact on my life, and I cannot thank him enough for the excellent outcome he achieved for me. If you are looking for a lawyer who will go above and beyond for your case, look no further than Nafiz Ahmet.
