An honest and trustworthy attorney

Thank you for helping with my parents divorce. Other attorneys kept siding with the wrong party in this matter. They have advise which was more of an opinion than what law says. I’m so grateful to have found Ryan!! Ryan was honest, said what best made sense and did what was best in my parents situat...ion. He explained his reasoning as to why he felt what was best and made sure we understood him. Ryan is a blessing to me in this situation!

Very resourceful and patient

I had a very unusual divorce. I was saving up for a divorce when my husband had a massive stroke and he became disabled. I had a difficult time locating a lawyer who didn't want to charge me a massive retainer to take on my case. Ryan was very clear about the process and tried to help it move smoo...thly along. We ran into some issues with opposing counsel but he managed to find a workaround. He kept me informed the entire process and was wonderful to work with.

Excellent Lawyer

Ryan was excellent throughout my entire divorce process. He was always available, communicated things very clearly, and was someone I trusted thoroughly. He has a wonderful ability to be very knowledgeable about the legal situation while simplifying things when he discussed options with me so that ...I clearly understood everything that was going on without any legal background myself. I highly recommend him.

Awesome

Ryan was great. I had no idea what to expect going through this custody battle for the first time. Ryan did a great job explaining everything to me. I would definition recommend and would use again

Above and beyond my expectations!

I originally consulted with Ryan in 2019 to obtain a legal custody arrangement for my 3 children. My husband and I had separated a year prior and had only had a verbal agreement between the two of us. Ryan made sure to thoroughly explain all of my options and the process that would take place. Ryan w...alked me through each step as we approached them, always staying in constant communication and answering every question I had. I felt heard and understood the entire time. Months after the custody arrangement was set in place, I contacted Ryan again to proceed with filing for divorce. Again, he went above and beyond my expectations. Even in the midst of the COVID pandemic, Ryan remained in constant contact with me and always answered my every question in a timely manner. I was very nervous going into these legal situations, as I had never had to hire a lawyer or even go through anything like this before. Ryan helped to ease my fears and anxieties. He worked hard for me and I will be sure to return to him for any future legal matters, should they arrise.

"Ryan is a confident and knowledgeable attorney who truly cares about his clients and the outcome of their case. As a former colleague of Ryan's I worked closely with him on family law matters and experienced first-hand the level of dedication and professionalism that Ryan applies to each case. He is easy to talk to and makes clients and other attorneys feel comfortable. Ryan settles many cases while still strongly advocating for his client, an approach that is often best for all parties involved. Ryan will also fight fiercely in court when necessary. I strongly recommend Ryan for any family law matter."
