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.

Mr. Lane was very professional and knowledgeable about the divorce/marital/family custody/military laws. Although it was a difficult process, he made it less stressful. He was punctual and ensured that I had all of the required information to execute the case successfully. He even has a great paraleg...al assistant who is always professional and friendly. I could have not chosen a better lawyer to handle my case! He was AMAZING. If I ever have another issue that requires legal assistance, Lane Law Firm will be #1 Choice with out any hesitation! Thank you Mr. Ryan Lane for all you have done.

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.

Upon an incident happening with my step daughter, my husband and I knew we had to make a move and fast! We were recommended to see Ryan for a consultation, well my husband did then I did and were hooked! He was professional, well organized and he knows his laws. Needless to say we had a case, we obta...ined what he said he needed and he delivered exactly what he said he would. We have custody of my husbands child! In the event we shall need legal services again there is no question he will be the one we go to.

I seen ryan lane by referral from a buddy from work that was using him as well. I went to talk to ryan about a issue I had with the care and wellbeing of my child in which another attorney acted like i had no chance. Ryan had told me I had a case to in which to get custody of my child. I was skeptica...l at first because I had been burned before and this is south carolina and can be hard for a fatherto get custody. All ryan asked for was to get him the things he needed and he would do the rest. In turn from beginning to end everything he said that would happen, happened. He is a great lawyer and knows his stuff. If I ever need a lawyer again I will be using him. He made it where a me as a loving caring father could have custody of his little girl.
