Theresa and her team are probably one of the most genuine lawyers you’ll ever meet. They came through for me when I felt like I had no one to help me. She made me feel like what was happening wasn’t the end of the world and that by the time she was done it’d be a distant memory. She got my charges dismissed and has brought calmness and relief into my life. I can’t thank her and her team enough for what they did.
Theresa listened to me from day one and believed in my case. She fought hard and got it dismissed!
Highly recommending Ristenpart Law. Theresa really fought for us. She was very informative and made sure the outcome of our case was satisfying. We are from out of state so paying via venmo was a definite plus! I loved that Theresa was genuine, hard working and sympathetic to our case. My husband had a active warrant from years ago and assured us that he would only have to travel to Reno once to clear it up. After much negotiating with the courts she scheduled my husband's court date and worked out a deal in which he was able to come home that same day. My family and I are so grateful for Theresa and her team. Lisa always made sure my emails and questions were answered in a timely manner. Now I see first hand the reason Ristenpart Law has STELLAR reviews! Much deserved!
I had a difficult case involving my child, She is autistic and had an incident falling off the bed bruising her eye. CPS and washoe pursued me which hands down was the scariest time of my life. No one would listen no matter what i threw at them that proved my innocence, They were not hearing me. I was so stressed and terrified that I was actually going to go to jail for something i did not do. I hired Theresa and my worries all quickly disappeared. She got everything dismissed and her calling me with the good news is something i will never forget. She put all of her knowledge to work and prevailed. This gal knows her stuff and i would recommend her to anyone.
As a business owner, I have had to use several lawyers for various aspects of the business. Theresa and her team have given me unparalleled legal council. I cannot recommend Ristenpart Law more highly, as their quality of service and value for price are superb. I found myself in a situation in which I had to hire out-of-state council. Theresa and her team were very responsive to my needs and answered all of my questions thoroughly and promptly. Their communication is excellent. As my case progressed, she carefully and thoughtfully explained my options, allowing me to feel confident in my choice regarding how to best move forward. Consequently, I never had to travel to Nevada to address my legal issues. She handled it all for me. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case, and she has even continued to follow up with me after the case was resolved. Thanks Theresa!
Recently I got pulled over for a traffic citation. I decided to look for a professional attorney on my side to fight for the ticket. I did my research and found Ristenpart Law. It’s comforting having a professional attorney like Theresa and her team to fight for me. They are amazing! They helped me getting my fine reduced, and from four demerit points down to zero. I highly recommend Ristenpart Law to anyone who needs help for their traffic violation. Thank you, Theresa, Lisa and Sam.
Our son was falsely accused of 3 serious felony counts. Theresa listened carefully to his side of the story, did a thorough investigation and won a dismissal on all counts. She was accessible and caring throughout the process. We highly recommend Theresa Ristenpart.
Theresa is the most caring and brilliant attorney on the planet. Period. I am a criminal defense investigator and have worked with her on many serious cases . . . all of which she won!
We hired Theresa and signed a release of liability form for a conflict of interest with her upon our first consultation. There were two of us who hired her and therefore, had two cases, even though it was the same incident. She led us along until the day before my court date and then backed out, claiming a conflict of interest. She kept my $4,000. When I requested a refund, she sent me a bill that showed the time she spent on our case. When push came to shove and I needed her to represent me in court, she backed out and kept my money.
