Ryan Jay Rakness

This is the first time (and hopefully last) I have ever needed an attorney. I was wary about having to contact one as I have a bad impression of attorneys and did not want to pay an exorbinant amount of money for services I wasn't sure I needed. (Reckless driving/excessive speed.) First of all, he an...d his staff were excellent about responding via phone and email and that helped a lot as our case was urgent. He was patient to listen to me and to go over all of our options. He had excellent wisdom in knowing exactly what approach should be taken. The morning of the trial, he was able to get the prosecutor and judge to agree to a lesser charge - which just carried a simple fine - rather than jail time or license suspension which were possible outcomes. He was a pleasure to work with and I am grateful he was willing to take our case. I am scared to think what would have happened if we had tried to navigate this situation without him. I highly recommend him.

Received a reckless driving ticket while I was in VA and being from FL didn't want to have go back to VA for the court appearance. I called a few different lawyers, a few didn't even respond and a few others I spoke with I just didn't feel comfortable with. I liked what Ryan had to say without maki...ng any promises. He was able to get my reckless driving ticket down to a Speeding ticket and for that I am very grateful. Ryan and his team were very quick to respond and great with their communication. I would highly recommend him.
