Best around!

Ryan was super easy to work with for my divorce. He explained every step of the process and answered every phone call and email promptly. Very professional lawyer and I cannot recommend him enough! Was even there a year later when some more questions came up and went above and beyond for me.

Fantastic Lawyer

My ex hadn't let me have see my children in almost two months until Ryan had gotten involved. From the beginning he was attentive and responsive to everything I needed and advocated for me in the Courtroom. In the end I couldn't have asked for a better result, I recommend Ryan for anyone who needs re...presentation in Family Court

Operates in Bad Faith Only There to Collect Money

Working with Ryan McCall was one of the most disappointing legal experiences I have ever had. He operates in bad faith, promising professionalism and accountability at the start, but once payments are made, the effort stops. Communication quickly fades, deadlines get missed, and every small action so...mehow results in another bill. He repeatedly misbilled for work that was never completed or even discussed. When confronted, there was zero accountability, just excuses or silence. It became painfully clear that his main focus is collecting retainers and padding invoices, not actually helping clients resolve their cases. Ryan presents himself as ethical and client focused, but behind the scenes, it is all about the money. No transparency, no updates, and no integrity. I would not recommend him to anyone looking for real representation, he is only there to collect fees, not to fight for you.

Since your review is anonymous, I am unable to tell if you are actually a former client. With that being said, I take all of my clients concerns, both current and former very seriously. I would be more than willing to discuss your comments if you would like to reach out to my office.

Great lawyer and person to have on your side

He is a genuine person and an amazing lawyer. It’s hard to find both combos in this profession. He helped me with a family matter.

No Leadership, No Accountability, No Integrity

Ryan James McCall is the firm owner who allowed one of the worst displays of negligence I’ve ever seen in a custody matter. When serious problems were happening under his supervision — no communication, missed filings, and total lack of preparation — he did absolutely nothing. There was no leaders...hip, no correction, and no concern for how badly a client was being failed. The silence from the top spoke volumes. It showed a complete disregard for professional standards and client trust. A firm is only as strong as its leadership — and in this case, that leadership was nonexistent. I would never recommend Ryan James McCall or his firm for any family or custody case.
