Review Ryan Tutera

HUMBLE, BRILLIANT, AND INCREDIBLE

Posted by anonymousTue Jun 25 2019

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!
