Mr. Schwartz was recommended to me by a trusted colleague as someone to help out with traffic violations, and he did a very good job. He successfully resolved my situation with very little work/communication on my part. Very easy to work with, and quick to respond to any questions. I’ve since referr...

After striking out with two other attorneys for my contentious divorce, a friend recommended Ryan. As the daughter of a doctor, I have never particularly cared for attorneys (although I have plenty of attorney friends and respect their important work). Ryan was cool, calm, collected and smart as a wh...

I am not a huge fan of most lawyers, as they typically are looking out for their own well-being. Ryan on the other hand breaks the mold and is always there to be his clients biggest supporter. Makes sure things are understood and fights for his clients and their rights. When you need to seek counc...

I’ve always been skeptical of lawyers, thinking that they would tell me what I wanted to hear and overcharge me for a mediocre job. Not the case at all with Ryan. He got me out of a snag and did it exactly the way he said he would for what I felt was a very fair price.

I was cited on a Breach of Peace charge in August. As this was my first brush with the law ever, I was quite nervous (especially after finding out this was much more serious that I originally thought). I had never been in trouble before and I figured it was time to lawyer up. I was referred to Ryan b...
"Ryan is a great lawyer that knows the law and applies it extremely well in the courtroom. I respect his professionalism and his ability to help those in need."
"Tried a case together with Ryan and he was amazing to work with in such a tense environment. Did a great job in the court room - I endorse this lawyer."
"Ryan and I have known each other for a long time. He is a man of integrity and exhibits that in every facet of his practice."
"Ryan and I have worked on several criminal cases together. The one thing that consistently stands out to me about Ryan is how much he cares for his clients and how comfortable they feel with him. When a client hires Ryan to handle an issue, they will repeatedly come back to him for other issues that come up for them, whether it be car accidents, or family law matters. I know that Ryan's clients feel like they not only have a competent and passionate attorney on their side, but also a personal friend that they can trust and who is going to do everything in his power to help them. I would highly recommend Ryan."
"I endorse Mr. Schwartz. He not only knows the law but demonstrates that he has the ability to apply it properly based on his answers on Avvo. It is admirable that he answers so many questions on Avvo and helps those who are unsure of how to proceed in very unfamiliar territory. He is an asset to the legal community!"
"Ryan worked with us at Elrod Pope Law Firm. He is hardworking and possesses a sharp intellect. I would not hesitate to have Ryan assist me with a legal matter. tpope"
