Just did my consultation with Nafiz Ahmed he was very helpful in answering what questions I had and also explaining to me what's going on with my fiances case. I was really relieved with the information he gave me. Easy to talk to great personality I was comfortable talking to him. I definitely would be using his service if ever needed. Thank you so much Nafiz your freakn awesome.... R.L.

They were the first to call me back for a consultation and was very honest with me. That's all I could ask for when searching for a lawyer.

May 11, 2023 Update: I just wanted to clarify that the negative review left by Avocado Calories below is 99% likely from my ex-husband, who is the opposing party in our recent domestic violence case. It is clear that he left this review out of revenge towards me and my lawyer, Joanne Zhou, who provided me and my son with security as his claims are baseless and defamatory. I want to assure you that I am a true client of Joanne, and I left a 5-star review for her team two weeks ago. Apr 22, 2023 I am really grateful for all the professional legal services provided by The Zhou Law Group for my case. Joanne and Stephen are extremely trustworthy attorneys. Joanne even sacrificed her Christmas holiday last year for the unexpected situation of my case. They are professional, experienced, strategy and empathy, while absolutely putting the needs of clients first… They were my only security during the most dark and difficult times.

I called Mr.Ahmed about an expungement that needed cleared up from many years ago. He answered the phone himself and spoke directly to me. He was kind and patient. It turns out that the scam firm I have been waiting to hear back from since January had actually gotten my expungement done in February. They never called to tell me anything. This firm helped me realize my paperwork was completed already. He went above and beyond for me. If you need a lawyer for anything , he is the one to call!

My team: ‎Joanne, Stephen, Teona and the whole team have been effective communicators with expertise and experience. They have been flexible to meet my schedule, providing me with sufficient and useful information, and guide me with their expertise. I trust their service and I would love to recommend their service to more folks who need help.

Ms. Rickard is an amazing attorney to have in your defense. I was going through a very emotional challenge with the mother of my child. During this time period of my life, I was finding attorneys that turned me away or did not believe that I was innocent in my case, or told me that I needed to take accountability for something that I was not responsible for. Ms. Rickard went above and beyond in my case. She was very supportive every step of the way and will not leave the courtroom without a victory. I am very thankful for her support when no one else was.

Stephanie is THE BEST in the BAY AREA! Period! Mention her name in circles and youll realize she is well known and everyone speaks very highly of her. That is a sign that she is very well respected in the community, which is hard to come by especially for a lawyer. But not for Stephanie, she is everything you want in a GREAT lawyer: she is honest, kind and is a very SHARP woman! Need a lawyer? Call Stephanie, you won't regret it. She is highly qualified and experienced. She's worth every penny and I am so happy to have found her.

Shout out to my lawyer Stephanie Rickard! She really helped me out with my case and handled all of the sensitive matters of my case with the upmost care. The communication with her was great from start to finish, exceptional and her attention to detail is best in class. At the end we got the results we wanted! Thank you a million times! Definitely would recommend her law office - and if you have Stephanie as your lawyer just know your in good hands .

Stephanie is a fantastic lawyer. I was impressed by the professionalism of her practice and her team. I scratched a car in a parking lot in Palo Alto without knowing, and as an international student, this could have seriously impacted my immigration status. Stephanie and her team spent time understanding the situation and my context and even engaged and collaborated with my Immigration lawyer. She represented me in court and secured a dismissal on a Hit&Run charge after only two court hearings. Beyond providing excellent legal advice and representation, I was impressed by her kindness and human connection. I felt like she really understood what I was going through and knew how to calm me down and support me along the way during a stressful trial. I highly recommend her services!

I was in the process of changing my lawyers. I was looking for someone with experience who also had great relationships with the DA’s office. With luck, I found Stephanie. She was just the person I was looking for. She gave me hope. Stephanie was very attentive and with her superb negotiation skills, she was able to help me get the best outcome. My case is over and I can get on with my life again. She truly cares. Without her and her dedication, I don’t think I would have gotten the result I wanted. She is the best!!!! HANDS DOWN!!

She is absolutely amazing at her work, very prompt, and will do her best to put you at ease.
