      Review Ryan Tutera

      HUMBLE, BRILLIANT, AND INCREDIBLE

      Posted by

      I had called on RYAN TUTERA to represent me. Needing a criminal defense attorney was something I had never expected to have to need in my life. With a lot to lose, I knew that I had to search for a person who is incredibly dedicated, passionate, intelligent and didn't wasn't trying to impress so I would write a large retainer check. Unlike the other people who I spoke to, RYAN treated me with the same respect you would imagine you would give your very best friend; which at a time when you are feeling low about yourself was invaluable. Ryan believed in me and provided the guidance inside and outside of legal conversations. He managed the process and especially the courtroom like a conductor of an orchestra. He was always fair, honest and truthful with me and always discussed both the good and potential bad outcomes. I believed in Ryan and because of this, was exonerated of the claims set against me. Ryan managed the process with ease using his absolute unappalled professionalism and received incredible results in the courtroom. Ryan is the only person, I would ever recommend to anybody. He is not going to try and impress you with smoking mirrors, a flashy shiny suit and talking you into a plea deal while he collects your money. He brings you outstanding effort, smarts and a commanding knowledge of the legal process, you and your opposing counsel which is unprecedented. Ryan, I owe you everything - THANK YOU!

      My husband, had a case to where I needed to find someone to help us. I found Ryan and he’s a professional lawyer and very intelligent. Ryan took his time and gave me his all. If you have a loved one or know someone who is in need of a great legal minded lawyer, I would highly recommend Ryan. He is hardworking and determined. I would say Ryan is he best in Pittsburgh guaranteed.

      Great professional legal council

      Posted by

      Ryan was very attentive, thorough, and professional. I felt confident proceeding with him once we met. And have had favorable outcomes in all matters he was handling. Hoping I never need a lawyer again, but if I do I will certainly hire Ryan...

      Nothing less than OUTSTANDING!!!!!

      Posted by

      My family was in need of a criminal lawyer for a very serious case that gained unwanted media attention, immediately after just calling Ryan to explain the situation, my family decided on hiring him right on the spot, his compassion, attention and absolute knowledge and confidence in the law was a no-brainer for us; not to mention that within hours of just contacting him, he was already visiting our family member at the county jail which meant the world to us!! Fast forward...., Ryan handled this very complicated case with authority and great professionalism (he’s no push-over ), he made us feel well represented and my family member had an extremely favorable outcome to the case. Forget 5 stars.... RYAN YOU’RE 1000!!!!! God Bless you and our family will forever be grateful to you!!!

      I was charged with a very tricky case, and Mr. Tutera was the perfect guy to accept it. With an extensive knowledge of the law, and vast experience; He helped me beat the case. He's a great guy and everything you want your lawyer to be, again for hopefully the final time.. thank you, Ryan.

      An Excellent Lawyer, Empathetic, a True Professional

      Posted by

      Luckily for me, Ryan took my case and helped me thru a very strange and trying time. It was quite obvious to me the first time we met that he had the skills and knowledge of the judicial system that I needed. Not one of the "TV Attorneys" that you see advertising himself all the time, Ryan is too busy working for his clients and navigating the court system, always with one thing in mind: obtaining the best result for the person he is representing. His hard work and vast knowledge of the Allegheny County Court system paid of in the end, with the absolute best result I could have hoped for -- better than he himself had prepared me for heading into the final steps of my case. Ryan is diligent and savvy, he provides an aggressive and effective criminal defense -- as those who have been represented by him will attest. He is empathetic, and a good listener. He talks straight, doesn't mince words or lead a person to unrealistic expectations. He's honest and hard-working, always with the best interest for his clients in mind. Best of all, he's a genuinely nice guy. If there were 6 stars here I'd give him all six! I hope that I don't need his services going forward, but if I ever needed a criminal attorney again, I'd definitely hire Ryan.

      If your future depends...

      Posted by

      If your future is in jeopardy, your scared and afraid of the unknown. I know just how you feel. I've been there, right where you are. And shopping for attorneys is nothing like any other experience. Your future literally depends on hiring the right attorney. Ryan is respected, he has knowledge of the defense and prosecuting side of the court. I can't say enough how much Ryan has helped my family. He is truly one of a kind. He sleeps, eats and breathes the law. I have nothing but respect and appreciation for this man.

      Professionalism, courtesy, understanding

      Posted by

      Ryan was kind enough to take my case recently for a simple assault charge that I was falsely accused of. Not only did he handle it with a level of professionalism I have never seen but he was kind hearted and genuinely concerned of my situation. This man exudes confidence and charisma. And it paid off in the courtroom. He wiped the floor with the Accuser and made the judge and district attorney realize that I was in fact innocent. I would give Ryan a hundred Stars if I could. You should have no qualms of whether or not to hire Ryan as your defense attorney. If you want the job done right he is your man. Thanks again Ryan.

      Excellent lawyer

      Posted by

      Son was accused lead guilty of sexual crimes, after getting rid of public defender who wanted him to plead guilty although he was innocent. Mr. Tutera listened to him took his case and after a two day trial he fought and helped prove his innocence with a NOT GUILTY verdict. I think he is a great lawyer. Also a nice guy.
