I hired Ryan after calling his office at 8pm and being surprised he actually answered that late and talked with me about my problem. The month leading up to my court date I dealt with his para legals in his office multiple times who were all top notch and super helpful. Two days before court I met with Ryan to go over everything, I admittedly left that meeting a little nervous because of how short it was, it seemed Ryan was not worried about losing though.
At the actual court hearing Ryan was incredible had me in and out with a ruling in my favor, he won with out ever having me or the two witnesses we brought say a word other then stating my name. That short meeting with Ryan that made me nervous I now see he was only interested in the facts and there wasn't many. It was a simple win for him. Hopefully I don't need a lawyer ever again but if I do I'll be calling him for sure.
Six days before relocating to Florida, I was pulled over for littering which ended in a DUI arrest. After researching DUI attorneys, Ryan Russman was shown to be the best. I consulted with Attorney Russman, and he assured me I could still relocate, and he would handle my case for me. And handle it, he did. All of my questions and concerns were addressed personally by Attorney Russman. Together we decided to take my case to trial. I was very nervous doing so, but had no other option because the state was unwilling to negotiate charges. I flew back to NH, went to trial with Attorney Russman and watched him in action. We won at trial, I was found not guilty and was able to receive my license back immediately. I highly recommend attorney Russman to anyone needing representation with a DUI charge. I can't thank him enough for the representation he gave me.

Professional and gets results
“Attorney Russman went above and beyond to help with my case. He is someone committed to public service and put my mind at ease with the whole situation. The outcome was better than I could have hoped for. He fought against any limitations on my driving privileges and was successful. He placed a priority on my career and that is something that was of the utmost importance and will never be taken for granted. If you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation…you need to go to the guy who literally wrote the book on this. This attorney and this firm know what they are doing, they work with experience and confidence and you don’t need to look anywhere else.”

DUI, Attorney for professionals
I was arrested for a DUI after going off the road in the snow. Because I am a licensed nurse, a conviction could have resulted in the loss of my nursing license. Attorney Russman ensured the outcome I wanted was achieved. I could not have been happier with the outcome. If you are a nurse, physician or allied health professional Attorney Russman is YOUR representation! He will work for you to keep the incident from effecting your ability to practice.

The right choice
No one cares to help their child choose a lawyer. Our son was arrested and charged with DWI, a devastation to us all. As facts were revealed we suggested to our son that he call Attorney Russman. He (Russman) was personable, fact giving, and did exactly as he said he would, and never promised anything he couldn't fulfill. He spoke to our son in a manner that our son understood, and Attorney Russman also made if full known that this was not a matter to take lightly and the take away should be a learning experience. This was the right choice for our son in so many ways to hire Attorney Russman. Long story short - our son walked away unhurt, not having hurt anyone else, and Attorney Russman fought for our son and was able to have his charges reduced to reckless driving. I cant attest if this is the norm as every case has different circumstances, but if you at least pick up the phone, Attorney Russman will do the same and at the end of a five minute phone call, you should know where you stand. Thank you again, we like you as well!

The best there is for DUI
When I first met attorney Russmam he was very professional and direct. I hired him that day and we planned to get together to review my case. The courts postponed my case twice and I was informed right away through the ladies in his office, both always pleasant and informative. About a month before my trial Attorney Russman called me and he had already worked out the deal. He saved me from 10 days in jail. $500.00 in fines and no interlock device required. Lets just say he saved me. I would recommend as well as use him again if the need ever arises.

Russman is the BEST
I would absolutely recommend Mr. Russman. He pretty much saved my life. I was facing a DWI charge and losing my license for 6+ months, and I need my license for my work. He worked his magic and got my license back and only charged with a speeding ticket. I would highly recommend him for anyone about to lose there license or just for any legal trouble. His staff has also helped make things go as smooth as possible. They have helped me through this very difficult time in my life and I am very grateful for it. They did all the work and all I had to do was show up. This firm knows their stuff and if I ever need help again, I know who I'm calling.

Look no further...
Seven weeks after being charged with a DWI, with no court appearances, the charge was dropped and I have my driver’s license back even after refusing to do the sobriety tests. Attorney Russman is an honest, experienced, knowledgeable attorney. If you were charged with a DWI, look no further Attorney Russman is the lawyer to retain!

Best in field
Ryan Russman is extremely knowledgeable in his field and he really helped our family when we needed it. He kept a very unfortunate accident from ruining the rest of my son's life while still allowing him to take responsibility.

Very happy we chose this Russman Law
It all began after I sustained an injury that wasn't my fault. My wife and I decided to reach out for legal council. I reached out to attorney Russmans firm, and scheduled a meeting with him and his Paralegal Robin. After going over what happened, they agreed to take on the case. My wife and I had no clue what to expect and at times became very difficult. It was due to Ryan, and Robin, our confidence remained high. Every time we had a question or concern, they responded to us almost immediately, and made sure we fully understood what was going on. As this process continued, it became more nerve wracking for my wife and I. After the deposition, my wife and I began to lose faith (and we did nothing wrong). We had never experienced anything like that before. It was due to the confidence of Ryan and Robin that we continued to press forward with our heads held high. Then the day of mediation came. This was the day we truly got to witness Ryan at his best. My wife and I sat there quietly as the legal jargon was exchanged back and forth. When the mediator left the room, Ryan went right back to a personal level, and just sat and talked with us about our kids, our jobs, and anything in between. The stress level that day was beyond explainable and due to his calm demeanor, it aloud us to also relax. Ryan argued for us and in my opinion truly used his experience to represent us to the fullest. We were able to settle that day, and my wife and I could not have been more pleased. We would absolutely recommend Attorney Russman as well as his Paralegal Robin to anyone seeking legal council.

I highly recommend Attorney Ryan Russman
I recently had the opportunity to experience Attorney Ryan Russman in action as he represented my boyfriend in a DUI/DWI case. This was a tough case and he did a stellar job at representing my boyfriend and getting the best outcome possible. I was extremely impressed with Attorney Russman's intelligence, tact, work ethics and responsiveness. He was sincere and caring to my boyfriend and the outcome of his case. He surprised me in many ways by going the extra mile to make things happen. He is a good communicator providing information and/or direction in a clear, straight forward manner. He is organized and has good follow-up if you have to leave him an email or phone message. Ryan has a genuineness to him which promotes trust and compassion. He is also kind, patient, understanding, and has a good sense of humor. I highly recommend Attorney Ryan Russman.

Atty. Russman Review
I can't praise Atty. Russman enough for the help and guidance he provided me. From the moment I began working with Atty. Russman he gave me the guidance, honesty, and peace of mind to continue focusing on my life while we worked through my case. I was impressed and appreciative towards him for being so available to not only talk me through the specifics of the case, but the emotional hardship that came with it. He never gave me false hope, and always assured me that we would work to get the best result possible. Atty. Russman was always very knowledgeable and professional, and I would recommend him.

Two for Two
I received 2 DWI charges within a period of 13 months. Attorney Russman, not only won the cases against the DMV, (I was able to keep my license until the court date), he was able to get both DWI charges reduced to reckless operation, and I was only served with minimum penalties. Being a professional myself, Mr. Russman probably saved my career status. If you are looking for a DWI representation, Mr. Russman is your man.

Works very quickly, very effectively, and with surgical precision.
As it turns out, he's also really cool. I formed a favorable opinion about Ryan Russman and his team long before my case was resolved (yes, the outcome was favorable). My initial phone consultation left me believing this was the right lawyer to defend my case. He was attentive, surprisingly compassionate, sharp, articulate, and very professional. There would be a one time fee and no further charges. His team communicated all essentials via email, mail, and phone. A best-case-scenario plea deal was arranged well before my trial date, all necessary information about this offer was explained and made clear to me, I was walked through every aspect of my court appearance, and stood in front of a judge for a grand total of three minutes before getting on with my life. I live on the west coast, so it is unlikely I will ever need another lawyer in the Live Free Or Die state. If you live there, you are unlucky enough to be arrested for DWI, and you need a good lawyer, this is your guy. He literally wrote the book on DWI defense.

Successful outcome
This attorney did an excellent job with my son's DUI case. He was assertive,confident and knowledgeable of all the crucial laws that applied in this case.
He was able, with his expertise, to get my son's case dismissed.
I highly recommend him.

Ryan did a great job handling my case, and got my DUI charge reduced to a lesser charge. I am a professional, so this charge would have done significant damage to my career. Ryan saved me the embarrassment of an investigation by my professional licensing board.

DUI and DWI Attorney | May 03
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"A few years ago, my law partner introduced me to Ryan Russman. At the time, I was co-authoring practice manuals for attorneys on DUI/DWI defense in several states. One thing led to another and we ended up co-authoring a legal treatise: New Hampshire DWI Defense; The Law & Practice (available at Lawyers and Judges Publishing Co. www.lawyersandjudges.com ). If I could sum up my reaction to Ryan's work in one word, it would be "impressed." Ryan's depth of knowledge of New Hampshire law, of the science behind breath and blood testing and of trial tactics is phenomenal. What is even more impressive, however, is the fact that he is willing to share his knowledge and tactics with other defense attorneys instead of jealously guarding it. That speaks volumes about his character and his dedication to the profession. You would be hard-pressed to find a better or more knowledgeable DWI attorney in New Hampshire."
Litigation Attorney | May 01
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Ryan is an insightful, brilliant attorney who understands the importance of being prepared by obtaining the highest level of training possible as a trial attorney. He has the "people skills" to communicate a message to jurors, which makes him ideally suited for jury trials in both criminal and civil cases. In 2010, Ryan and I co-authored a book together, and he did a top-notch job in writing his portions of the book outlining NH laws on DWI. I commend his services to any resident of New Hampshire or nearby states when you need a WINNER for a trial lawyer."

I would recommend Ryan to those in New Hampshire looking for a hard working, knowledgeable and personable criminal defense lawyer."
