I met Ryan Cardoso by chance and during a time that he was very busy. Speaking with him for a very very brief moment he encouraged me to continue to work with the individuals wished me the best and hope that I would not have to come back to see him. Fast forward a few months and no results I return...
"I highly recommend Ryan for any personal injury or criminal defense matter. He works extremely hard to achieve the best possible result for all of his clients."
"I have known Ryan for several years. Ryan works hard to get the best results for his clients. He is personable, professional, and skilled in all areas that he practices in."
"Ryan offers a knowledgeable, insightful and vigorous defense for his client while being able to maintain a level of professionalism with his peers. He is aggressive on the case and a gentleman off of it. It is truly a pleasure to work with an "old school" lawyer."
"I have referred a number of clients to Ryan, and they have all been thoroughly happy with his representation. Ryan is a smart and compassionate lawyer who is not afraid to fight hard for his clients. He is easy to relate to and has a great ability to get people to open up so that he can completely understand their situation to represent them well."
"I endorse this lawyer. Lime many lawyers Ryan has the intellect and professionalism to be a great lawyer. And like some, he is an excellent communicator. What separates Ryan from most lawyers is his commitment and concern for his clients and his desire to achieve the best result possible. Ryan will be as concerned about your case, if not more so, than you are. I recommend him without hesitation."
"I have worked with Ryan on many cases, both criminal and civil. He is extremely thorough, creative, socially adept and highly intelligent. His intelligence, thoroughness, his level of preparedness, social aptitude and the fact he truly cares for the clients he chooses to represent makes him a truly outstanding lawyer. I have been a trial lawyer for thirty years, have a preeminent rating (AV) from Martindale-Hubbell ™ and would not stake my reputation or recommend someone who I truly did not believe is not only extremely effective but also has a high degree of personal and professional integrity. If I had a son, daughter or family member that needed the types of legal services Ryan provides, I would call Ryan Cardoso immediately."
