Ryan W. Lane II

When I initially spoke to Mr. Lane, I was impressed by his assessment of my legal situation. I was impressed by his confidence in his ability to negotiate the terms of my separation agreement. When he called me and presented a proposed agreement, I was initially excited that the matter had been resol...ved so quickly. I asked him to email me the details. Upon review, it became clear that the agreement gave my wife everything she asked for without protecting my parental or financial rights. I emailed Mr. Lane regarding my concerns and explained to him what I wanted to see in the agreement. Mr. Lane was argumentative regarding what I saw as reasonable requests. For example, I asked that opposing counsel provide transparent and complete financial records prior to an agreement regarding child support. The records Mr. Lane sent to me omitted material facts. I was surprised that Mr. Lane would give credence to those records as they were clearly evasive and counterproductive to the objective at hand. In at least two email correspondences, when I asked Mr. Lane to pursue a course other than the one he wanted me to take, he didn't reply to my request. When I asked Mr. Lane specific questions regarding my case, his answers were generic and evasive. After I explicitly informed Mr. Lane of points in the agreement that I was unwilling to negotiate on, rather than address my concerns, Mr. Lane simply continued to raise non negotiable points. I took off work to attend court on the date specified. When I didn't hear from Mr. Lane I called his office and was informed that we had reached an agreement with opposing counsel. I was unsettled for two reasons. The first was that I had not agreed to any of the terms presented to me. The second was that no one from Mr. Lane's office informed me that I would not be required to show up for court. When I emailed Mr. Lane regarding the disconnect in our communication and informed him that I would need to obtain new counsel, he didn't call me. He emailed me what seemed to be a perfunctory response to general concerns. Despite all of our email correspondence and the multiple concerns I had, Mr. Lane only called me once. I asked Mr. Lane for a final accounting of my charges ( I was planning on taking my business elsewhere, of course). Mr. Lane didn't send in the information I requested, but instead beat me to the punch and informed me that he would be ending our client-attorney relationship. Overall, Mr. Lane seemed to lack a vested interest in my case. He seemed disconnected from my concerns. He seemed to lack an effective strategy for getting the results he initially promised. He didn't provide me with any insight that was specific to my case. In general, I felt left in the dark. I was left with the general impression that I had to push him to do his due diligence. I had the impression that he wasn't comfortable with being held accountable. I cannot recommend Mr. Lane as an attorney.

Ryan Lane and his office staff are to be commended. Mr. Lane represented me to modify a divorce regarding child support. I truly experienced justice with him. I told him several different outcomes I wanted as far as child support. He thoroughly explained why some things would I wanted were in line wi...th child support law and why some things wouldn’t be good because they weren’t in line with the law. He is extremely knowledgeable and presented my case with such finesse that I was astounded! If you want a fair lawyer, Mr. Lane is your man!

When I stepped into his office I thought he was going to be an amazing attorney actually a breath of fresh air. I had interviewed a lot of attorneys before I got to him and he made me feel like he could get the job done. Now I don’t blame him for the fact that my husband rushed and filed the divorce ...before Attorney Lane could. However I do blame him for his lack of communication no response to voicemail no follow up via email just kind of left me hanging in the window. There is still a custody issue on the table there is still an issue of child support on the table there is still an issue of harassment. And no matter how many times I call his office asked to be called via email to discuss there’s never a follow up. So not only did I pay my attorney Mr. Lane for nothing I don’t even get the respect to be called back and address any concerns that I still have. For those of you that I’ve had great experiences I wish you were the same for me because I truly had hope in his service that I have finally found A lawyer that would represent my son’s best interest.

I hired Mr. Lane as my divorce lawyer. He was exceptional as a lawyer. He helped me every step of the way and listened to me. He was very helpful and answered every question I had. He helped me get exactly what I wanted out of the divorce. He advised me that I deserved more then what I was agreeing t...o but I was afraid of fighting with my ex anymore. I was happy to just be out. He took what I wanted to do into consideration and helped me word everything so if I wanted to fight for more regarding custody and child support later then I would be able to. He did all this at a fair and reasonable price. I would definitely use him again in the future if needed and would recommend him to anyone.
