Posted by Bryan | November 16, 2015 | Hired Attorney
Ed Ryan is a great attorney. I have hired him several times, unfortunately. He was always very professional and helped me out anytime I needed him.
"I attended a two day conference with Edward last week and was impressed throughout the conference in his knowledge of criminal defense work and DUI/DWI. I had the privilege of having lunch with him on the first day of the seminar and after lunch I felt like I just learned from a professor. He is that knowledgeable. I would certainly refer anyone and everyone to him."
"Ed is on the extremely short list of talented and highly trained DUI and Criminal Defense Attorneys in the Greater Nashville/Davidson County area. Without reservation, I would entrust Ed to handle the case of a family member or loved one. I have referred many a client to Ed, know and trusting that he would get the very best defense available. I have had prior referrals even call me back to thank me for referring them to Ed Ryan. You cannot go wrong by hiring this nationally known and respected lawyer for your DUI or other criminal charge."
"Ed Ryan possesses encyclopedic knowledge of Tennessee's DUI laws. Anyone looking for a top-notch DUI defense practitioner in Nashville should call Ed."
"Ed Ryan and I have worked together as officers at Metro Nashville Police Department. I have been taught by him, both in the CLE classroom, as well as in Court. He was also the catalyst to me joining the National College of DUI Defense. He is a staunch advocate for his clients, and truly knows his stuff."
"Ed is one of the top DUI defense attorney's in the state and a great guy on top of that. I regularly refer individuals in the Nashville area to him because I know Ed has the knowledge, experience, and courtroom talent to give them the best defense possible. You could not go wrong hiring Ed Ryan to handle your case."
"Incredibly knowledgeable and hard working attorney in Nashville. Sets the bar high for representation of clients accused of crimes, especially DUI."
"As a former police officer, prosecutor in the District Attorneys office, and many years of experience in private practice, Ed Ryan offers his clients a level of expertise second to none. As a fellow attorney I've benefited from his skill and instruction by attending continuing legal education seminars he's taught in Nashville. I strongly recommend Ed Ryan to anyone seeking expert criminal representation."
"I happily endorse and recommend Ed Ryan to anyone in the Nashville area facing DUI charges. His experience as a former prosecutor is such a bonus. He is dedicated to protecting the rights of his clients. A call to his office should be your first call if you have been charged with DUI in Nashville."
"Ed Ryan is my go-to Attorney for DUIs in Nashville/ Middle Tennessee. I have sent numerous business clients and friends to Ed and not one came away unhappy. Ed Ryan and Rob McKinney are the only two DUI Defense Attorneys that I refer cases to in Nashville. I have yet to attend a National College for DUI Defense (NCDD) Seminar that I did not see Ed in attendance. The NCDD is the national group that all DUI Defense Attorneys are members of and attend the seminars on a regular basis. Ed works overtime to be the best DUI Defense Attorney in Tennessee."
"I have known Edward Ryan for many years. His creative and clever approach to DUI defense has impressed me so many times. I enjoy discussing strategy and tactics with him, and he has taught me many things. I look forward to the next time I can refer another client to Ed."
"Ed Ryan is one of the best DUI defense lawyers in the State of Tennessee. He defends his clients vigorously and is well versed in the proper administration of the standardized field sobriety tests as well as breath and blood testing. He remains on the cutting edge of DUI defense and uses this knowledge to fight for his clients. If charged with a drunk driving offense in the Nasvhille area, call Ed Ryan!"
"Ed is one of the top DUI lawyers in the country. His reputation as such is well known within the legal community. His knowledge of the science of alcohol testing is unmatched. Ed and I have known each other for years and quite frequently I have sought his counsel defending my own DUI clients in Southern California. Call him. He is the lawyer you want defending you for a DUI."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Ed Ryan is a premier DWI defender and criminal defense lawyer. I highly recommend him to any prospective client. Ed is highly regarded in the DWI defense community."
"Ed is the go to man in Nashville if you are charges with a crime. i have known Ed for several years through National Seminars and Ed is always one of the guys you pay attention to so you can learn new innovated ways to defend your own clients."
"Ed knows the law from all angles and never stops defending his clients. I have had the honor of co-authoring the “Tennessee DUI Survival Guide” with him. He is smart, skilled and dedicated… what more can a client ask for?"
