Excellent attorney

We hired Ryan to represent us in a complex HOA auction case where a lien had not been disclosed, leaving the property value in the negative and putting our entire investment at risk. From the very beginning, Ryan stepped in with urgency and precision, ensuring all filings were completed on time to me...et critical deadlines. Ryan impressed us with his efficiency, honesty, and outstanding oral advocacy skills. Unlike many attorneys who seem more focused on inflating fees, Ryan consistently acted in our best interest. His approach was professional, streamlined, and client-centered, which gave us confidence throughout the process. Thanks to his diligence and expertise, we achieved a satisfactory outcome under very challenging circumstances. Hiring Ryan proved to be well worth it, and we would highly recommend him to anyone facing legal issues. Having Ryan by your side means having an attorney who truly cares about protecting your interests.

Professional and honest

I can highly recommend Mr. Violette. He helped us navigate through some choppy waters with a couple of troublesome tenants. Mr. Violette is very experienced in Florida landlord/tenant law, and he knows what is best to protect his clients interest. You will be in good hands.

Pending Foreclosure

Ryan was our attorney at the end of an agonizing process. He took over pretty late in the process, yet gave it the necessary attention required. He provided an In-depth knowledge of mortgage banking and insulated us from liability for a situation that our mortgage company could have easily avoided h...ad they provided basic modification options to us. If you want an attorney that picks up the phone, answers your questions and truly cares about your situation, look no further.

Miracle Worker

Ryan Violette saved my life! He handled my foreclosure litigation for over eight years, consistently winning in court and causing the bank to continually appeal. When I wanted to sell my home and end this situation, Ryan was able to get me a settlement offer that resulted in a short payoff. I can mov...e on with my life thanks to this tenacious attorney. He proved that big banks can't always win and get away with their corruption. Ryan is the best attorney and I highly recommend him if you want results.

Worst Tenant Defense Attorney Ever!

Ryan Violette did not even know the Florida Statutes, we had to pull all of them for our own defense. Be careful, he promises you the world & then fights against you & assist your landlord. Ryan Violette promised us that he would defend us against the slum lord we were having issues with. He d...id nothing but defend the landlord in court! Be careful, he promises you the world & then fights against you & assist your landlord. Then he has the nerve to ask you for more money for his services. We had proof that our landlord refused to repair leaking roof that made part of the house uninhabitable, proof he refused to correct the mold situation, proof he refused to fix plumbing that backed up into the house & did not meet city, county, & state housing guidelines, proof that the plumbing was backing up into the yard & not going into the city sewer system, proof that all 4 fans in the house were not working, proof that the refrigerator was not cooling correctly which was causing bacteria to grow, etc. We lost our case, we lost our damage deposit, even after paying a cleaning service to make the house spotless after we moved out & we still have to pay the landlord additional money. Ryan had the audacity to ask for more money to defend us using the Florida Statutes we gave him to go forward, but he wanted $2000 more & the settlement from the landlord was $1500. He did not defend us & then is requesting more money then the offer on the table, he treat people like they are stupid, when in reality, he didn't know his own job. Never fall for this Attorneys Promises made by a sweet demeanor, because he will harm you & your credit...... Look up the Florida Statutes for Landlords & Tenants & call Manasota Legal Services to Help You for a much better outcome, I assure You.
