This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Smart, Compassionate, Professional Attorney with LGBTQ Competency

Ryen is an excellent attorney. I had a very tangled contract issue for my job as a nonprofit executive, with some pieces that required competency in diversity, equity, and inclusion to untangle. After talking to what seemed like thousands of attorneys in DC, I found Ryen's personal touch and extensiv...e knowledge of employment law to be the right fit. He took my concerns seriously, was incredibly responsive, and gave me honest feedback about how to approach the issue with my Board. We were able to come to a workable solution that has allowed me to move on with my life and make peace with a difficult situation. I appreciated how kind Ryen was while also being knowledgeable and fair. He helped to put my mind at ease during a difficult time. I would highly recommend him to others who might be grappling with similar employment issues -- fair prices, prepared and knowledgeable and didn't take himself too seriously. I cannot express how much it helped me to feel like someone was finally listening and on my side.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
