Will, Real Estate LLC and SCC filings for our corporation.

In 2013 Ryan prepared a Will and later in the same year a real estate LLC. In 2019 Ryan was invaluable helping us with a small business filing with State of Virginia. I have recommended Ryan to friends and would not hesitate to call on him again. Ryan’s para legal is pleasant and professional.

Horrible. Don't waste your time or money.

If I could give this attorney negative stars, I would. He was hired to settle an estate for our family over a year ago. He promised that it would be finalized and checks distributed at the end of June 2020. Never heard from him. I contacted his office in July only to be told that he had left to start... his own practice and they had no idea what the status of any cases were. I called his new number and only got voicemail. I left numerous messages and he finally returned a call stating the estate would be settled in August. Guess what? Nope. I've had to call every couple of weeks to find out what's going on. He then promised it would be settled the first week of October. Guess what? Nope. He still refuses to return phone calls and apparently doesn't bother to update his secretary with the status so that she can call us. In 12 weeks, it will be 2 years since this process started. If you want someone to competently assist with your estate planning, PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE. You will be busy assuredly disappointed by Mr. Pry's horribly unprofessional excuse for an estate lawyer.

I'm sorry that you are dissatisfied. However, as I have said before, I am only able to share limited information with someone who is a beneficiary of an estate, and not my client.

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.
