Excellent Reputation Managment

Hi, Robert and Deborah and the rest of the team worked on a very delicate case for me. It involved all major social media platforms. They knew the proper channels to communicate with them and take care of my issues. They always answered the phone, they were honest on what they could and couldn't do. ...And most importantly they came through and resolved all my problems. If anything please give them a call and to see if they can help.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Representative was very helpful

I called inquiring about services needed, and although they didn’t offer the services I need, Debbie went above and beyond to assist me! She help me navigate the online portal and ultimately I was able to find an attorney to assist me. Imagine how much assistance I received, even though she knew I w...ould not be obtaining services with them. This is definitely a law firm that I would recommend to anyone who wants someone to listen and really help them. Thanks so much Debbie!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very professional. Great communication throughout.

My business instagram had been hacked and we simply were not getting anywhere on our own. I spoke with Ryan. He did a great job of laying out his strategy while also managing my expectations. The entire team at his firm was professional, responsive and friendly. In the end it took a littl...e time but we got our account back. Just an overall great experience. Highly recommend.

"I highly recommend Ryan Blanch in the area of criminal law and white collar crime, both nationally and on the local level in New York I have known and worked with Ryan for approximately 12 years and Ryan has always demonstrated exceptional skills as an aggressive attorney and a dedicated problem solver. I have referred several matters to Ryan and in each of those cases, the clients have been thrilled with Ryan's ability to quickly assess the strengths of the case and develop a strategy to successfully resovle the case in an expeditious and cost effective manner. I know many attorneys who work in the white collar crime area, but Ryan is at the top of my list any time I have a friend or client that requires such expertise. I am available to discuss this recommendation anytime."

Criminal defense lawyer | Apr 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am a trial lawyer who worked with the Blanch law firm on a felony drug case that I referred to it for handling. I had dealings with all of the firm’s lawyers, and particularly Edward McQuat, at one time or another. I followed the case through the criminal justice system, was privy to certain meetings with the client, spoke with all of the firm's attorneys on a regular basis, and kept abreast of the case throughout, including reviewing briefs submitted to the court. Their strategy was right on the money. This is an excellent law firm. They are experienced with the criminal justice system in Manhattan, can work with the district attorney’s staff, and provided sound, well reasoned, comprehensive, and accurate legal advice. I recommend them highly."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
