Horrible Experience

I was promised a certain amount when Caitlin and I first met. She did not fully represent me like a lawyer should. There was a lack of communication the whole time during the process. Caitlin was very rude and demanding the whole time. At one point in the conversation she actually hung up on me. I ex...pected a good and affordable attorney, since she is a new lawyer. I finally received an invoice from her a month later for over twice the amount she quoted me. Not one time did she mention this or say anything. She did over charge my bill with things that she is not allowed to charge me for. Worst experience ever please stay away from unexperienced attorneys like her.

Great lawyer, intelligent and personable

Ms. Ryan was very helpful in my case , I was nervous about the law and how custody would go. I have her all my issues and how I would like to see the out come. She more than exeeded my expectations and walked me through the process and made me feel like there was hope and she was very organized and f...amiliar with my case pretty quickly. I highly recommend her services. I've pointed people her way when asked if I knew a good lawyer.

Excellent Lawyer

Ms. Ryan is an EXCELLENT attorney and worth every dime. She works hard for her clients, has a very thorough understanding of not just the law but how the court system works. She makes every effort to ensure her clients understand both sides of the options presented in an effort to help them make info...rmed decisions. She works tirelessly and is dedicated to helping her clients receive the best outcome possible in very difficult circumstances - in my case, a custody dispute. I have recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so. She is excellent and helped me through a very trying time as a father but she ensured that if I followed the process that outcome would be in my favor and on 4/17/2017 it did and I was awarded full custody of my daughter.

Above and Beyond

Going through a difficult divorce, facing false accusations and feeling totally lost I put my trust in Mrs Ryan and Jetton & Meredith, PLLC and they went above and beyond to defend me. Now I can gladly say that choosing Caitlin and her team to represent me was the best decision of my life. She is an... exceptional Attorney, hardworking, knowledgeable and straightforward. Mrs Ryan handled my case professionally and he did an excellent job throughout the entire process I couldn't ask for a better representation. I highly recommend her and Jetton & Meredith, PLLC.

Excellent Lawyer

Caitlin was amazing with a restraining order case I hired her for. Being a guy, and the other side having a restraining order against me, which I had previously violated, made things quite difficult. She studied all the background info I gave her diligently and was very well prepared in court. Eve...n though the other side brought up tons of stuff against me, she was able to focus the case effectively and made her arguments towards the specific "legal basis" the judge had to consider. In the end, she prevailed. I was at first a bit worried given how young she is, however those concerns were put to rest fairly quickly at trial.
