Ryan is a great attorney to work with. I have worked with him on a couple matters. He delivers great results under the circumstances. He has a wide range of experience and skill to pull from when working on cases. More importantly, he is down to earth and personable and is a straight shooter. I thoroughly recommend Ryan.
Ryan is a very dedicated attorney who is timely, helpful and fair. We have been using Ryan for the past year to do contract reviews as well as collections. We utilize Ryan for his services almost weekly and he is always very quick to respond and to complete the task at hand. He gives sound advice and we appreciate the attention that he gives to our situations and concerns. We are VERY pleased with his performance and the manner in which he bills, we believe he is always VERY fair with the time that he charges for.
I provide outsourced legal services to companies who need in-house legal counsel, but do not want to hire an additional full-time lawyer. I also work with smaller business owners to make sure they are operating under the appropriate business structure, and then help them with ongoing legal needs as their businesses grow.

17 years
I provide business legal services to companies of all sizes that have the need for regular, on-going legal advice but who do not want to devote full-time resources to a legal department or add more attorneys to their preexisting legal team.
I have the flexibility to provide quality legal services to business clients on their terms - with flexible fee arrangements, flexible hours, and with little overhead. My goal is to serve as a seamless extension of a company's existing Legal or Management team -- or as a trusted legal adviser to smaller businesses -- while keeping legal budgets under control.
I have represented clients in a variety of litigation matters in state and federal courts, focusing on insurance coverage litigation. For eight years, I served as in-house counsel to a global company withmore than 800 employees worldwide. My work touched on nearly every aspect of corporate business, including negotiation of contracts, advising corporate management regarding the impact of legal considerations on corporate business decisions, and providing advice on the company’s growing trademark, copyright, and patent portfolio. I also served as the company's insurance administrator, responsible for providing advice to company executives on risk management and insurance coverage matters for the company's international operations, procuring new insurance coverage, negotiatingand filing of claims, and maintaining insurance records. I oversaw most of the company's litigation matters, responsible for litigation strategy, drafting pleadings and discovery requests, and coordinating with outside counsel.

Provided excellent legal assistance when purchasing a business
After interviewing several attorneys, I retained Ryan as my legal representative to assist me when purchasing a business. Ryan is very knowledgeable, asked good questions, quickly assessed my situation, and provided the expert legal advice needed at a very fair and reasonable fee.
Purchasing the assets of a business is a complex transaction. One of Ryan's many positive attributes was his ability to help me understand each step of the process from a legal perspective, and make sure my interests were protected.
I now consider Ryan General Counsel for my accounting, tax and business consulting business. He will be my first contact for any legal needs, and I'm confident his services going forward will continue to exceed my expectations.
