Outstanding and efficient!

After falling behind on child support payments due to loss of employment, I found myself in a very tricky situation. I ended up having a warrant out for my arrest and having no clue to what to do. I sought out legal advice and was referred to Caitlin by another attorney. From initial consultation to ...our last court date she epitomized the highest standard of professionalism and efficiency, all while showing empathy for me in my situation. Long story short, Caitlin not only got the warrant lifted but also got my ridiculously high child support payments modified and substantially lowered. Can't thank her enough. I HIGHLY recommend Ms. Ryan and would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Polite, but not particularly aggressive.

Ms. Ryan gave me great hope when I first met with her that we would be able to fight for some issues I was having with my verbally abusive situation. She did help me get my divorce wrapped up which was important to me, but after my first consultation, I felt like she kept saying we could keep fightin...g, but I probably would not get anywhere and it would just cost more money. I felt like I had presented myself and my situation quite well at our initial meeting. I was already part way through my divorce when I went to her, and I got the feeling she just wanted to use the document my previous attorney had already drawn up with adjustments I could accept. Once I gave conceded to moving out of state, this was especially true. I am now having problems collecting child support and my children are living part-time in a situation where they do not even have their own bedroom and one sleeps on the floor. I had to wait 6 months to prove residency. This is very frustrating to me, and if I had fought for custody, as she had originally said she would help me to do, even for a few more days per week, they might not be in this situation as much. I will say she was always very polite, and the staff is very kind and wonderful in the office. They return calls and emails promptly. I guess I would just advise you to stick to what you agreed to in your initial consultation if that is what you really want. Ms. Ryan was better than my first attorney who ignored my case for months, but I felt like a lot was and still is unclear to me about what my options were.

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.
