I had been using Mr. Cripps from the time my son was 2 for my initial divorce and child support and his fathers indiscretions until he was 13. Never once did he promise me ANYTHING! There were times I felt so frustrated and wondered what the hell he was doing? Why wasn’t he ordering drug tests? Why wasn’t he fighting harder? All the while what I didn’t know was that Mr. Cripps knew the system inside and out and knew it would not fly. Not to mention the integrity and trust he has built with the courts is stellar! They know he’s not there to just throw anything at the wall to see if it sticks. The many many times we were in court we won, EVERY TIME! And when my sons father would show with a high payed attorney that his mom payed for they would try and bs, along with my ex, and lost! The one thing I truly regret was listening to a friend who convinced me to use another attorney at a very crucial point in time, that he had used and I ended up paying probably about 6 times what I would have paid with Cripps and I know he still would have done better than she did. I still won but even she didn’t think she did. There is no doubt in my mind he would have too! And better! Mr. Cripps would always talk me down. I was very emotional, scared, lost, angry, all the things! And he was so patient with me. I will never forget the one thing I always remember and carry with me that he told me, “he will hang himself” he said to me. At the time that frustrated me but when I look back I can tell he knew the type. He simply has seen it all. Mr. Cripps has a secret guys. He reads people. He knows what he is doing without having to charge people what these other thieving lawyers do! All with integrity, honesty, trust, and just no bs! So if you are looking to spend a lot of money on a “tiger” go right ahead! But my money would be on Mr. Cripps every time! He truly is a Godsend!

Where to start?? I went thru a 2 year divorce, and Mr Cripps was with me every step of the way. Her lawyer tried to screw me every step of the way, and Mr Cripple blocked them every time, they had ZERO wins! He may not tell you what you want to hear, but he will ALWAYS tell you what's in your best interest. This is a very emotional time, and your not always thinking straight, but he ALWAYS is !! I dont think you could find better representation!!

Lean in statement; I went through a divorce that lawyer fees on both sides were high six figures. I met Mr. Cripps by calling an employee assistance program for Palm Beach County Schools ( I’m a teacher). After the divorce and all of my financial resources were exhausted, I was perpetually taken back to court for child related motions to the tune of 2-3 times a month ( harassment). I represented myself for about a year ( my advice is don’t waste your time, it’s a loosing battle as pro se). I was accustomed to being billed for any and all communications to my lawyers office, and the fees never stopped! Well not Steve ( Mr. Cripps)! Mr. Cripps gave me a flat rate that was less than the retainer my initial lawyer required. I’m hear to tell you, that not only will your money go further with Steve, but his knowledge of the Law, his ability to deliver what’s required in the courtroom/ Depositions/ or lawyer to layer communications, along with his no nonsense mental processing earn him this review titled Unexampled hero, as that’s who he is to me. It’s worth mentioning, that Steve has been practicing so long that opposing council knew him and every other gardian adlitem or parenting coordinator ( who were all attorneys and were brought in to the case erroneously). I suspect that the relationships ( connections ) Steve has helped me in my situation to have Steve explain the truth to these professionals. I was for months dodging these professionals while pro se to avoid their $500hr fees, and immediately after they spoke with Steve they no longer needed to see me. The point is, weather you’re in need of a lawyer or another lawyer, in my opinion, Mr. Cripps, is that person. Best of Luck, Stephen

Steve is a nice guy and he knows the law and understands how to navigate the family law court system. Unlike many lawyers who will get bogged down in motion practice running up huge bills, Steve looks to get right to the point in an efficient and cost-effective manner. I have been through a divorce that went to trial and two child support modification proceedings . Steve did not represent me in connection with the first two cases and I wish he had because he would have saved me a lot of money and I am confident that he would have achieved an optimal result because he is highly competent. I would recommend Steve to anyone who wants competent counsel but not a looking to spend a fixed amount of money and not waste more time than necessary in the court system.

He helped me thru my divorce every step of the way. Even though it took several years he never backed down even when things got nasty with my ex’s several different lawyers. His expertise and confidence helped me gain the confidence I needed to ensure what I was doing was right. He never steered me wrong and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help thru this trying time!

I was getting divorced and had other counsel who was charging me for filling out paperwork and not advancing my case to resolution. I finally found Steven and hired him as my new attorney. Since Day 1, he was in communication with me over my case, and he got things moving. All I was waiting for was a mediation date, and once I hired Steven I had a mediation date within a month and a half. He is kind, professional, and you can tell that he has your best interests in mind when representing you. If I ever have another legal issue, I would not hesitate to contact Steven. He is the best choice for your case.

Mr. Cripps has represented me and my family in different cases before and he is phenomenal. I love his attitude and how he takes control of the situation and keeps you calm at all times. He is a great listener and very attentive. He keeps you updated throughout the case from the moment you begin with him to the end. Very affordable! I absolutely love Mr. Cripps and his work. I recommend him a 1000%

Mr Cripps went beyond his scope of getting the best deal possible- even when it came to the emotional strain of a family that felt the collateral damage of a divorce. His knowledge and experience was a comforting throughout the entire process. If I had to do this again , I would not hestitate to call him first. Not only he’s a great at being a lawyer, he was also considered an understanding friend. I highly recommend him.

I think I speak for the majority of us when I say that divorce is a tumultuous, extremely emotional and painful process! Especially if there are children and assets involved. You’re heartbroken and angry...so during this process, its hard to trust anyone and it can be easy to redirect your anger and impatience on the wrong person or event. Which I believe may explain most of the negative comments on here directed at Mr. Cripps. Does he sometimes take a day to return your call? Yes. Is he a man of few words? Yes. Can that be frustrating? Of course. But does he get the job done? You can bet your hard earned money on it! My husband left me on Valentines day, on Valentines Day!! I was an emotional mess, left with the mortgage and a slew of bills to pay. Not only did Mr. Cripps offer a flat rate fee but also an affordable payment plan. I retained Mr. Cripps towards the end of March and was divorced the 1st week of June! The day of my hearing I was nervous and concerned because he was running late (he was in another court room). The judge asked me who was my attorney and I tell her, she responds: “oh don't worry, I know he's around here somewhere, he'll be here”. He has such an awesome rapport with the judges that they don't even mind waiting for him! Mr. Cripps possesses almost 40 years of experience. He knows what he's doing and does it at a reasonable price. If you want a young lawyer that's going to kiss your butt and charge you twice as much, then go for it. But if you want a guy with an established good rapport and who will get the job done, then trust Mr. Cripps is that attorney. Good luck and all the best!! P.S. Shout out to his secretary, who was always very friendly when I called his office!
