Ryan Schwartz is a Godsend
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...

Ryan really helped me wonderfully with my Divorce.
I hired Ryan about seven months ago and Ryan was nothing but considerate, patient with me as I had many, many questions. He was able to create a full resolution to my divorce and have it settled with efficiency and where both parties could agree on the final outcome. Ryan was very professional and ...

Ryan has helped me with 2 separate family matters
Ryan came to me through a mutual friend. He fixed my disaster of a divorce after a previous atty proved less than worthless. Later he helped me with my teen daughter's legal issues, and subsequently additional teen issues. He is not just my lawyer, he is my friend. I have referred everyone I coul...

Ryan represented me for a complex divorce/custody battle. I interviewed other attorneys and ultimately chose Mr. Schwartz for his sincere care he showed for my problem. It was clear to me that he truly cares for his clients and loves what he does from the first consultation with him. Ryan was knowled...

Poor to say the least about family law representation
Should not be allowed to practice family law based on personal experience. Ryan will tell you what you want to hear to get your money and then tell you something totally different after he gets your deposit money…. BEWARE!!! Ryan and his practices lack of attention to detail is appalling. First ye...
"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"
