Ryan Adam Riezenman's Reviews

Posted by Christine | August 30, 2019 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Clear guidance

Being a parent is the greatest gift in life and no one ever wants to be in the position where the other parent of their child is in a place where they don't feel safe having their child with them and having them be able to make (or stand in the way of you making) important decisions for them. When th...at day came for me, and I knew I needed to file for sole custody and knew I needed an attorney to help, I came to Ryan. He guided me clearly on being articulate my concerns and helped me to set realistic expectations for what to expect from the process. He knew what I was unwilling to waiver on, and guided me through the process of making the best decisions for my child. He spoke with opposing counsel and was able to negotiate thru all the open terms. In the end, I now have sole custody and know I could not have gotten through the process without Ryan.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND RYAN !!

Ryan is not only a highly competent attorney, he is a very compassionate and caring human being! He guided me through a protracted and contentious divorce with the utmost patience and attention to detail. He was consistently available to communicate with me via the phone or email, and addressed all o...f my concerns in a timely manner, while also doing his best to control my legal expenses. Ryan took the time to get to know the particular needs of me and my children, showing genuine concern for us throughout proceedings. His kindness and sense of humor greatly reduced my anxiety during my darkest days. Ultimately, Ryan was able to-quite miraculously- settle my case without court intervention, though his superior negotiation skills. I had interviewed several attorneys before choosing Ryan to represent me.....and I am so glad that I close him. I would highly recommend Ryan to a anyone looking for a matrimonial lawyer !!

There’s no one better than Ryan Riezenman.

I had a very complicated case re: child support, arrears and college tutition payments. Ryan is not only very personalable but he is also intelligent, precise and diligent. This was a difficult process to go through but with Ryan by my side I never felt alone. He was and is still always available wit...h kindness and understanding. I had gone through the court system so many times before but with Ryan I was finally able to settle things up in my favor. I cannot say enough about him and would highly recommend him over and over again.
