Efficient and Extremely Helpful

Ryan was by far the best lawyer to assist with my case. He was expedient and communicated the entire process. He was able to complete all paperwork and requirements within a short time frame. I literally called him with five days left until my court date. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. Th...ank you!

Posted by Brittany | February 06, 2020 | DUI & DWI

We won!

Never thought I would get a DWI but I did on Oct 26, 2018. I was so in shock. Told myself this could never happen to me. First thing I did was google the best law firms and best lawyers in the Charlotte area with the highest percentage rate for winning DWI cases. I came across Seiferflatow. They wer...e very adamant about winning and was willing to fight. Ryan Ames made sure he took extra steps to make sure he could really win my case. At first I was feeling discouraged but he was confident and went into small details about things I didn’t understand. I told myself this is taking forever but I just let Ryan do his thing and I must say On Feb 4, 2020 my case was Dismissed! Thank you Ryan!!!!!! No more DWI’s for me.

Amazing firm!

Mr Ryan Ames, was hands down the best lawyer I’ve had. Very professional and experienced. My DWI case was pretty bad, but he managed to fight harder every time we walked in that court room, he gathered every information he could find and get and he argued that case! We won and got it dismissed. Reaso...nable price with an outstanding outcome! I would highly recommend him again! Thank you again Ryan Ames, also I couldn’t just thank him, SeiferFlatow firm team was also very helpful and amazing! Thank you guys again!

Review

Ryan was extremely helpful during this whole process. Whenever I had any questions or concerns, Ryan would get back to me quickly and take as much time as needed to help too help me through the process. He was extremely patient and amazing with all my 500 questions and concerns I had. I am very thank...ful of all of his help!

Best lawyer in Charlotte

So to be specific, I've never had to use a lawyer before but now that I have I'm glad this was my experience! I didn't lift a finger or utter a word in the courtroom. The plan was laid out before me and my spouse and we were walked through the entire ordeal every step of the way. I could tell Mr. Ame...s was a hard worker and took our case seriously. I mean yeah, I know this is what you get paid to do but you were serious about the main goal, very professional, and clear headed about getting our family taken care of! I thank Jesus for you and your law firm Mr Ames!
