Great Result

Ryan was quick to respond from the beginning and the office kept me informed thru my process with the court. My case was dismissed with the option to have expunged at a reasonable cost. very satisfying experience with Ryan and the office.

Possible DUI, Speeding, and Gun Charge DISMISSED

i do not know what he did, but he did it. I only had to go up to the podium one time and that was for the ending of the case, other than that he handled it on his own. It was a reckless driving charge, open container charge and a weapon possession charge. Open container is dismissed, reckless drivin...g is dismissed with no point or anything, and gun charge is dismissed, working on getting it completely expunged from my record now, but I am very satisfied with his services.

Would absolutely recommend!

I would recommend Ryan to anyone who needs legal counsel. He was honest and straightforward throughout the process with me. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He kept me fully informed and set realistic expectations for how things would proceed. I had full confidence in him. He was very... well prepared for numerous court dates and won both a pre-trial motion and the trial itself. I am fully satisfied and very pleased with the outcome of not guilty. He was generally awesome to work with!

Extremely knowledgeable and professional

Ryan was a terrific lawyer. He explained the process from start to finish. While he was confident with my particular case, he never set an unrealistic expectation- explaining both best and worst case scenario. Additionally it was very easy to get ahold of him whenever I had questions involving my cas...e. I would recommend him to anyone!

Unbelievable!

I have had the privilege of working with many of the staff in my process related to my case. Even though I found myself in a bad spot financially, they stuck with me and saw me through to the end. To say that they did an excellent job would be a severe understatement! I would recommend this group of... professionals to any of those I care about. I’m so glad I hired Seifert Flatlow. I literally could not have hoped for a better result. If you still have questions about hiring them, you’re mistaken. Best money I’ve ever spent. Thank you isn’t enough. Respectfully, -JRG
