Theresa is the best. She gets cases dismissed.

Theresa is a down to earth person that seems to really care about her client's.

Theresa & her colleague Sam worked diligently to solve an annoying traffic ticket for me. They were fast, effective, and very professional. I made the initial phone call to them based on a personal friend's recommendation; after that everything was handled through e-mail (which was perfect for me and my busy schedule).
The Ristenpart Law team was able to get my moving violation ticket reduced to a non-moving violation, as well as a reduced fine.

Next time I find myself in need of legal support I will turn to to this excellent team again as my first choice.

5*

Truly wonderful to have these guys on your side.

Knowledge, Experience, Integrity, Hard-work, Dedication, Fair, Reliable are just a few words to start with about Theresa Ristenpart and her law office.

There's still a few good people left in the world, and many of them work at Ristenpart Law. My attorney and her staff were always available for any questions I might have had, and I felt extremely confident with their knowledge and abilities to help me with my case. The Ristenpart Law office came highly recommended through word-of-mouth and I'm so glad that I was steered in their direction and that they took my case. I felt like they really knew me; I got personal care, and was not just a number here. It wasn't all about the money. It was about helping me as a person. I would highly recommend Theresa and her staff, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again if I ever had to. My case was resolved in an acceptable fashion, and I can live as a free man. I just can't say enough good things about Theresa and her staff.

Theresa is a real person and treated me like a real person
She is a bright light in the sometimes dark world of criminal justice
She’s just awesome!

I highly recommend this law office. Theresa is very helpful, understanding and professional. Would definitely use there services again.

Theresa and her team showed immense amounts of professionalism in the work they did. Not only did they listen to me and my concerns, but they communicated well and made sure I understood each step of the process. It was apparent to me that Theresa is well versed in the field of law. She made me feel safe and well represented, so I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a respectful, understanding, and professional lawyer to represent them.

Based on my experience, Theresa Ristenpart seems to be an exceptionally knowledgeable and confident lawyer. She commands a lot of attention and she knows her material very well. When presented with a problem, I found that she was quick to start thinking of solutions. I have no doubt about her abilities as a lawyer. She was also a great advisor, and straightforward. The website is really easy to navigate as well!

Theresa and her team were absolutely amazing. They kept me up to date with everything going on in my case, informed me every time they received any type of information regarding my case, and what they had discussed internally for my best course of action. I could really tell Theresa and her team had put a lot of time and effort into looking into my case, and reviewing every possible avenue of moving forward. She is very friendly, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend Theresa to anyone for her professionalism and timely updates. Thank you so much!

Theresa and her whole team were Beyond Amazing to work with. Right from the initial phone call we knew they were the people we wanted to represent us. They handled the case very professionally, listened to us intently and gathered all the facts and evidence to help give us a favorable outcome. Every person we encountered within the Ristenpart law firm was kind and understanding. Thank you all very much Theresa Ristenpart, Sam Archie, Lisa Dee and Natashja Atherton for all of your hard work you did for our family. It is very appreciated and will never be forgotten.

Theresa is professional, hard working, and great to work with. She also has a passion for what she does, resulting in a very personalized defense for her clients. She is also honest, with her abilities within the law and with the costs of her services. She truly understands her clients and doesn't simply see them as ways of making a profit, she works with families to give them quality defense for what they can afford. Theresa is truly one of the good ones.

Was so pleased speaking to Ms Ristenpart yesterday. She patiently listened and then clearly explained my situation without the stuffed-shirt attitude I expected from an attorney. So refreshing. I am not a current client so was again pleasantly surprised at her prompt return call. She will be my first call when I need legal services in the future.

After calling Exactly 12 other law offices to fight a simply traffic ticket. Being im from out of state. All other attorneys wanted Triple the cost of what Sam and the team at Ristenpart Law charged me. From the gate I could feel that they truely wanted to help. And it wasn’t based on making money off of me, the little guy. They went to bat for me and got me a home run. All in all, Great professional team of lawyers. Do not hesitate to let them fight for you. Again thank you Sam for helping me. I will definitely pay it forward in life!!!

I was utterly surprised to find a lawyer this good and professional in a small city like Reno. Theresa is impressive from the first few minutes of our initial consultation. She is quick to understand why we needed her service and how she could fight in our behalf to obtain justice. I was involved in a very serious head on collision but should not have been the at fault party. However, police officer who arrived after the accident decided to cite me as the driver at fault. Theresa looked at the accident scene schematics, google map photos, evidence I provided and witness statements, and told me to not worry about it. She said she'd fight for me to get citation dismissed. Fight, she did. Citation was dismissed. I cannot be happier to find someone like Theresa who not only is a great lawyer, knows the law, but chooses to side with justice and what is right. I recommend wholeheartedly Theresa Ristenpart to anyone seeking legal support especially when you know you're wrongly accused.

Theresa and Sam were extremely helpful and professional. I reached out to them regarding a speeding ticket and they were able to produce positive results within a week. Highly recommended all around and will be sending referrals. Thank you Ristenpart Law!

As a former intern at Ristenpart Law, there are many reasons that I could offer to suggest considering Theresa. However, during my time at Ristenpart Law, I came to admire and value the treatment and service that Theresa and her team provide to clients. Whether it was in the office or the courtroom, Theresa always treats her clients with the utmost respect and dignity. Theresa has an impeccable balance of providing phenomenal legal representation, while also reassuring and comforting clients and their respective family and friends. She is considerate of the exigent circumstances of those that seek her legal guidance and will go out of her way to make the necessary accommodations for clients. Her demeanor towards clients is also reflective of her office staff, who are all compassionate in their work and devote countless hours to the cases at hand. At Ristenpart Law, you will be treated as a 'human being' and with that comes the added assurance that not only will your case will be properly handled, but that you will always be able to voice your concerns and questions and make well informed decisions for your case with a dedicated attorney and staff on your side.

She's an excellent lawyer! Takes a lot of the stress out of the legal process by breaking down step by step what is going to happen and when. She operates with a flat fee, and covers a lot of the costs that you normally would be nickel and dimed by any other lawyer. Highly recommend.

I’ve had the pleasure of having two types of pleasant experiences with Ristenpart Law, both as a client and as an employee. As an employee I have seen the amount of hard work and extreme dedication that every member of the Ristenpart Law team puts into every single one of their customers. Everyone always makes sure to put their best energy forward and they do so spectacularly. I have seen how they truly care for every client that they have and they work towards achieving the best possible outcome. As a client, I have experienced this first hand. Theresa and her team worked quickly and efficiently to handle my speeding ticket and communicated with me every step of the way. Theresa truly is one of a kind. She is the nicest and happiest person you could ever meet, but don’t let that fool you. She is an absolute shark in the court room. Together with her Paralegal, Lisa who always greets customers with a friendly face and handles all matters perfectly and her legal assistants Alexis and Sam, who are continuously working hard into every single case, you could not be in better hands, take it from someone who has worked with her personally!

I recently asked Ristenpart Law to help me seal my records from years ago. I couldn't be more happy with their services! It was quick, easy, and not a hassle. They are kind and genuinely want to help everyone that walks through their doors. Not only that they are very reasonably priced as well! Thank you for being so wonderful and helping me move on from past! I will forever recommend your office to anyone that asks about legal advise.

Theresa is by far one of the best out here my husband went to a few lawyers before he found her and was told I was going to serve jail time or prison she got me out the same day he stepped in her office and I got an honarable discharge when we went in front of the judge for my sentencing. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a good attorney I am beyond pleased with her services.

Theresa is the best my girl went to jail with no bail I looked at a lot of other lawyers and they would tell me she was out of luck so I called Theresa and she got her out the same dam day and she was able to get the case dismissed if I ever need a lawyer again hopefully I won't but if I did got Theresa on speed dial she's amazing

Theresa is awesome! She was attentive and straightforward with me. She helped negotiate an amazing deal for me and I was able to avoid felony charges. Bless her soul she even waived my final legal fees! I highly recommended her for anyone in need of a lawyer. I know I will be her client for life.

Theresa did a great job! She got me a good deal and even waived my final fees! I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Theresa is a well heeled lawyer with a wide skill set for the courtroom. Theresa opened the eyes of some really closed minded prosecutors to true justice, in a town where they pride themselves on NO NEGOTIATION with certain kinds of cases. This lawyer is tactically smooth as it gets. She has great sense of timing, and handled my case “flawlessly”. She listened to my requests, then we set a course of action under her guidance. I got exactly what I asked for! This lawyer is 100% about the client she is representing. Theresa is the absolute choice if I ever need representation agin.

I highly recommend using Ristenpart Law if your looking to have your record sealed!!! The staff is so nice and helpful and really made it easy to get my life back to normal. They are on top of what could be a stressful time. If your considering having your records sealed call and speak with Lisa she is amazing!!!

Theresa and her team is a fantastic group and I am extremely impressed with my experience. If you are looking for capable, reliable and all around good/real people, I highly recommend!

Theresa is a caring, thoughtful and an incredible lawyer. She was there from the beginning all the way till the end. Not only was she there for her client but the clients family and friends every step of the way. I would recommend Theresa to absolutely anyone who is need of a fierce, hardworking lawyer.

Extremely professional, great staff. Smart and enjoyable to work with.

Excellent attorney and team. Helped me a lot.

Best of the Best! Ristenpart Law proved to be very professional and got us the best results. My husband had a active warrant from 19 years ago. After calling around to a few lawyers in Reno (by the way, we are from Los Angeles), Theresa's STELLAR reviews and consultation made us confident in going with Ristenpart Law. Also, her pricing was very affordable and we were able to pay via Venmo. Since we were not local, Theresa took care of negotiations and made sure my husband only needed to show up for court ONE time (which is something that the rest of the lawyers could not guarantee). The outcome was great. Thankfully he was granted time served and we were on our way. Lisa was also very helpful, she made sure my emails or questions were answered in a timely manner. My family and I are very grateful to Ristenpart Law in the outcome of our case.

Theresa and her team were extremely helpful and comforting to work with. They explained all the complicated terms and took the reins throughout the whole process. They were extremely proactive and got the job done. They were always easy to get in contact with and remained accessible throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend working with Theresa and her team with any legal matters you may have.

I highly recommend Ristenpart Law for anyone soliciting for legal representation. I had a case in the Reno, NV area where I needed legal representation but I am from out-of-state. This was not a problem for Theresa and Lisa. They were easy to get in contact with, made the process simple and straightforward, and kept me in the loop during the process. They successfully got my case dismissed and went above and beyond to ensure my record remains clean! I am very happy I chose Theresa and her team.

Theresa and her staff are incredible, they took care of my ticket and saved me from upwards of 6 points on my license! They are experts in navigating the legal process and will walk you through every step of the way. Not only is Theresa of the highest caliber in terms of her skills as an attorney, but she also takes the time to understand her clients perspective and advocates passionately for justice. I think we all hope that we never end up in the position of needing services from a defense attorney but I know that if something ever happens in my life where I need to make that call, I'm calling the best, I'm calling Theresa.

Theresa and her team are the best in Nevada.

Theresa and her associates are amazing; they care about their clients and listen to their concerns. Not only are they professional and will get the job done, but also help find the best solution for you as well and will be there every step of the way if you run into any concerns. Im extremely happy with the service I received. Thank you Theresa

Theresa Ristenpart is an excellent attorney! From my first encounter with her office, until the disposition of my traffic case, I knew I had the right attorney. She was prompt in all our communication and all my rights and options were explained. She made a stressful situation much calmer, and my case was dismissed. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Theresa~

Professional, efficient, and hard`working!! Thanks, guys!!

Very knowledgeable and quick to respond to inquiries! I would highly recommend them if your looking for an attorney.

Samuel Archie is by far the best legal assistant, he took care of my speeding ticket and saved me money & time. They communicated very well and fast. It was simple and quick. I highly recommend Ristenpart Law.

Theresa and her team were the perfect solution to an annoying traffic ticket. They were excellent with communication, they showed up at traffic court for me, and ultimately negotiated a reasonable deal on my behalf. I recommend Ristenpart Law for anybody in need of representation no matter the case.

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!

Theresa is an amazing attorney, anyone who has a conversation with her can tell she is incredibly experienced. I was handled quickly and I never for a second questioned her legal ability or her desire to uphold my rights to a fair and legal court process and represent me with the best defense possible. I couldn't be happier with the outcome she got me and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my legal matters or my reputation. I highly recommend her!

Couldn't be happier with the results Theresa and team executed. She was there for me 100% and always made me feel like everything was going to work out...AND IT DID! Thanks T!

I am from the East Coast with a serious legal matter all the way on the West Coast. I got my issue resolved without ever traveling!!! THANKS TO Theresa Ristenpart , Lisa Dee and the Team at Ristenpart Law Firm for Their dedication in resolving my legal issue. Theresa/Lisa where so responsive, and i really felt that they had my best interests at heart. Theresa diligently explained every situation in detail to me and answered all of my questions. From the very start, she was upfront and realistic regarding the situation and expectations. I was facing wrongful jail time and in the end all charges and false accusations were dropped. She hired investigators and very well qualified experts to help prove that I was an innocent man. I could never thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for justice.

Theresa is a very smart and helpful individual. As an attorney she has years of experience behind her and the quality of her work reflects that.

The efficiency and quality of legal assistance I received from Ristenpart Law was unrivaled.

Theresa and her staff did an amazing job communicating with me and standing up to bat for me with more than expected results. I was able to hand the reins over to Theresa and let her handle everything. She was efficient so that the time we had was not wasted. The professionalism, knowledge, and presentation was top notch with Ristenpart Law.

I will never use another lawyer and will recommend her to anyone in need. I thought to myself before my sentencing that even if we do not win my case, I felt Ristenpart did everything possible for me to win. But we did win ! I couldnt have done it without her.

Theresa was able to accomplish what another lawyer literally told me was impossible to do. When initially shopping for lawyers, one lawyer said I would have to wait until the day of the trial to talk with the Asst. DA and no deals could be cut before that. Not only was Theresa able to talk to the Asst DA before my scheduled trial date, but she managed to negotiate a community service deal in return for full dismissal of my charges. The amount of stress taken off my shoulder as a result of that was entirely worth it in the end. Thank you again Theresa.

Theresa and her team were fantastic. Theresa was available and open to any questions regarding my case. Excellent service. Extremely happy with the outcome.

I just want to thank my lawyer Theresa Restenpart for her professionalism, her kindness, and most of all for taking care of my case so I don't get stuck with a huge fine and I was able to avoid more jail time.... thank you so much for understanding my situation your help was greatly needed and appreciated!!! YOU DESERVE MORE THAN 5 STARS

Having been referred to Ristenpart Law, I was thrilled to be able to talk to Theresa quickly. When explaining the situation related to the accident, her first question "Are you OK?" was followed by "Here's what we're going to do". She and her staff took a miserable experience and made it tolerable, and the results were better than I hoped. Compassion, competence, and efficiency all rolled into one. I would definitely recommend Ristenpart Law.

We retained Theresa Ristenpart for legal services. She did an excellent job advising and representing us. We would highly recommend her for legal services.

I highly recommend this attorney for any legal assistance she's very professional and gets things done in a timely manner. We had a very hard case but she did a very wonderful job.

Theresa was very helpful and understanding of my situation. I am scared to think of what might of happened without her in my corner.

This is Larry Armes I'd like to say thank you to Teresa and the staff at ristenpart law without y'all I could have been doing life in prison.. yall gave me a second chance at life and I appreciate everything y'all did for me.

Ristenpart Law is amazing! Would definitely recommend! Theresa was more than helpful with my situation. Extremely knowledgeable and very professional. I would give 10 stars if it were possible!

My past experience with my own lawyer was that he was very distant and difficult to get a hold of. I usually dealt with his assistants and only got to meet him in person once the case was being resolved. Having Theresa and Ristenpart Law as my husband's defense was a whole other experience. We felt listened to and everyone was so attentive, especially Theresa. I had never before experienced the ability to contact an attorney directly and to get a response the same day and in a timely manner. I hope we don't have to use these services again, but I know where we can turn to and get the best defense possible.

Ristenpart Law is amazing. Thank you for making this horrible ordeal a very pleasant experience. Theresa, Lisa, Alexis, and I'm sure others I didn't have to pleasure to meet or speak with, all worked hard and diligently to expedite this process always in my best interest. If you are ever in need of legal help or advice Theresa and her Team are definitely the go to. Thanks again Ristenpart Law.

Ms Ristenpart is a very professional, responsive, skilled, and customer-oriented attorney that I highly recommend for anyone needing legal service.

Having graduated from both the TMCC paralegal program and the Criminal Justice program at the University of Nevada, Reno, I have had the honor of learning from several practicing and retired attorneys.

Absolutely amazing. Theresa Ristenpart completely took care of my case for me and did it in such a short time.

I thought that facts and the truth would be enough to resolve any legal issues, but I was deeply wrong. I had lost hope working against the system. Then came into play Theresa Ristenpart and her team at Ristenpart Law. They provided excellent and quality service. I always felt that my needs were met and that the firm was invested in me and my case. They were easily accessible, got back to me quickly, aggressive representation and got me the results that I wanted.

Unparalleled advocacy for her clients. Ristenpart Law team is the best of the best in Reno and Las Vegas.

Fantastic attorney. Honest, patient, and an incredible trial lawyer.
