A Compassionate and Knowledgeable Advocate

Ryan's understanding of the law was evident in his approach, and his attention to detail ensured that no stone was left unturned. I was extremely impressed with his dedication to my case. From the very beginning, he took the time to listen to my concerns and provide clear, concise legal advice.

Posted by Kate | August 20, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Absolutely the best.

Ryan has helped me through everything during my custody case. Giving the best advice and direction to make sure that the best interest of my children are put first. Extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend Ryan to anyone dealing with a difficult situation and wants what is best for their children. ...Thank you for everything.

Gave me excellent advice

Ryan helped me during mediation. He gave me excellent and specific advice and expectations about what to ask for in my divorce. I retained him but did not use him as my attorney of record. My (now)ex-wife and I decided to use her lawyer because he was less expensive, but he miscalculated my child sup...port payments and said they were 50% higher than they should have been. I was able to factually argue him and tell him that he miscalculated and he went back and recalculated and the amount was reduced to the numbers that Ryan said they would be. He knows his stuff. I've also used Ryan for financial matters (creating a will). He's very honest and knowledgable.
