Ryan Jay Rakness

Ryan was recommended to me by another attorney for my daughter's reckless driving citation for excess speed 86/55. Ryan recommended that she do some community service and take a Va DMV approved driver improvement course prior to her court date. Bottom line results: reduced to improper driving . Ry...an took care of everything in court. He seems to be popular around the courthouse which I thought was important. I would highly recommend Ryan

I am extremely grateful for Ryan Rakness. I am a resident of California who was visiting Virginia for less than 24 hours and managed to get myself into some serious trouble by driving 95 in a 55. I was facing jail time in Virginia (even though my home is in LA) and a $2,500 fine, among a long list of... other potential consequences- the only thing going for me, however, was my clean driving record. I probably consulted with about 20-30 lawyers in the 24 hours following the incident, and out of all of the lawyers I spoke to, I connected with Ryan the most. He spoke in a calm, factual manner and knew exactly what he was talking about- but he was also much more compassionate than the other attorneys, which was something I immediately gravitated towards. His pricing was reasonable, and he was true to this word in terms of how often he would communicate with me and how he works. In the end, I didn't get jail time, didn't have to fly back to Virginia for the trial, and had my fine cut more than half in cost. I am very satisfied with the outcome, and I would recommend Ryan to anyone who could use his help in the areas he practices in.

If you are looking for an attorney who can protect your freedom, look no further. I hired Mr. Rakness after I was charged with possession of marijuana. During the consultation, he was very helpful and professional - he offered a fair rate and gave me much-needed insight and peace of mind regarding my... situation. Mr. Rakness was responsive, polite, and demonstrated his expertise in the area throughout the process of retaining him as my legal counsel. He exhibited the ability to think outside of the box in terms of defenses, and he will fight by your side rigorously when the time comes. I highly recommend Mr. Rakness if you are looking to either reduce your charges or be proven innocent, as was effectively done in my case. I'm pleased with his services to say the least.
