Professional

Catherine really cares about what she does. She not only helped me, but she helped my child. My kiddo was her main concern during the whole process. She is extremely professional, and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear, she tells you what you need ...to hear, which is far better.

Highly recommended.

Catherine did an excellent job in court under trying circumstances. You will get great service. She listens and gives good advice. She was correct in her predictions of certain outcomes. She will not let you down. I was in fairly bad situation and she was able to turn it around. The deal was phenomen...al considering, in fact I got everything I could realistically hope for. Could not recommend Catherine more.

In Need of an Excellent Advocate? Hire Catherine Ryan!

I have been nothing but impressed with Ms. Ryan's conduct as an attorney. She took on the case when no one else (qualified) would (due to the work it would entail) and while her prices are high, so too were the prices of all other attorney's interviewed. She took on a case that had been dumped by a...n earlier attorney and work tirelessly to educate herself on the nuances of it. Ms. Ryan arrived in court and represented the case well, even better than the earlier attorney, who, admittedly, was practicing outside of his wheelhouse. She ensured that we had the best possible outcome that we could have hoped for in that situation, and when the next hearing arose and the results were the opposite, she has not stopped advocating on our behalf. Ms. Ryan is accomplished, tenacious, and honorable (an oftentimes rare quality in this field) attorney. Ms. Ryan does not perceive you merely as a source of income, but as a person and she has always seemed as invested in the outcome of our case as we are, which is the mark of a truly great attorney. You would be wise to secure her talents on your behalf if you are ever in need of an attorney who specializes in Family law.

Do NOT Hire Catherine Ryan

Ms. Ryan was referred to me by a former legal advisor. For the past two years she has done only 13 collective hours of work on my case and withheld the substantial retainer that I provided. I have never had to do more legwork, fact checking or following up and have never been more disappointed or fru...strated with a professional service in my life. I feel lied to, cheated out of several thousand dollars, and robbed of my own time and energy. Now that I have asked to cease and desist all legal activity with this “lawyer”, and to be remitted the remaining funds so that I can seek other counsel, I am being completely ignored by her office. Do NOT hire Catherine Ryan.

Professional Service with expert knowledge

Ms. Ryan has been my go-to lawyer for many years now. I have always depended on Ms. Ryan to give me what I needed to know and hear not what I wanted to know and hear. Ms. Ryan has always been honest and upfront about my case. I would highly recommend Ms. Ryan for any legal need.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
