Wonderful Attorney

I would 100% reccomend Ryan as an attorney. I came to him with a custody case that I thought was impossible. He went through each step with me, calm cool and collected. He answered every phone call and email in a timely matter and does not look to take advantage or over charge. Ryan is very knowledge...able and straight forward when it comes to the law. I thank him for all of his help.

Ryan Atwell goes above and beyond

Ryan AtWell represented me in a nasty/contentious divorce case. Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable on the ins and outs of how the system works. He was patient in explaining to me language and terminologies that I did not understand. Ryan was quick to respond to questions and concerns even on “off” hou...r situations. Ryan represented me but he also took the time to help guide me thru a difficult time. Ryan was as honest and forthcoming and I’d recommend him highly everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation, I’d not hesitate to speak to Ryan AtWell.

Detached and Unpleasant

He seems ungrateful, self righteous and sour. If l were to hire him again, l wouldn’t have. He may have been enthusiastic earlier in his career but he’s a bit out of touched and has a very flat personality. Please find a true advocate and devoted lawyer for your cause. This guy will overcharge and di...srespect you.

Mediocre Experience, Basic outcome

After getting my first DUI, I received a typical outcome. Pretty simple case, however it felt like Ryan was bored with my case and did not make me feel good about it. This was my first time really in trouble with the law and I was scared, he treated me like a child when I expected a professional lawy...er with a positive attitude. Overall the outcome was fine, experience was not very good.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
