Outstanding representation.

A fantastic attorney, has been flexible, communicative and invested in my case and the wellbeing of my children. Easily accessible to his clients, always ensures I am well informed and included in all decisions going forward. Doesn’t sugar coat things or provide false hope. Makes a plan going forward... and follows through quickly. Divorce and custody battles are hard enough. Ryan provides results and peace of mine that are more than worth his retainer. His legal assistant is also very friendly and approachable.

Inexperienced

Ryan is not that great as a family lawyer. His lack experience shows. He is great about taking your calls, Just do not expect any time action to be taken. In family court enviroment he will show up and go through the motions. Just do ask him to file one to further your case. He instruct his clients... to do his duties for him. These others reviews are wildly miss leading.

Please note that this individual posted two reviews and his recitation of facts and events is not accurate.My office takes great pride in providing quality customer service and communication. I also seek to have clients actively engage in their case and save on legal fees when appropriate.

Risky

Ryan is very accessible. He will take the time during consultation. He will return your calls. In my case, he claimed he could get results that he did not deliver. I meet with Ryan. I brought relevant documents and informed him honestly of the details of my Family Court case. I was told he woul...d take clearly defined actions to support my case. In short, it did not happen. If fact, I arrived at court to have the Judge reject my request for Temporary Relief do to my petition for of lacking supporting documents. I proceed only to find that when I need to file further petition, I was told to take care of my self. I was also informed any evidence need to support my case, I would have to get any evidence my self. Ryan was in over his head here. I am not suggesting he unethical. He lacks experience. And he sets his price only to realize that the case require too much effort. In this instance Ryan was clearly informed that it would be complex , difficult and go to trail. He wanted to show up and hope the respondent did something foolish on Facebook. Or maybe exchange proposal letters with the respondent's lawyer. You get what you pay for. Do not waste your money here. It will end cost you much more.

He Won Paternal Custody for Me and My Daughter

From the start Ryan was compassionate and committed, making it clear that he would do his absolute best to help us win and that's exactly what he did. Ryan went above and beyond and got us exactly what we were asking for - paternal custody- during an extremely ugly custody battle. I ended up walk...ing away with full custody of my daughter thanks to Ryan's knowledgeable decisions, actions, and angles. He really tackled our case as an expert and presented it to the judge in just the right way. His staff was amazing, especially the woman at the front desk, she was so sweet every time we were there. We would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone in need of legal services in a child custody case. Thank you so much Ryan.
