Highly Recommend!

My husband and I went to see Mr. Doddridge as we had procrastinated on setting up a will, power of attorney, and health directives as we had always dreaded having to do this. Ryan sat down with us and explained everything and made the whole process seem so simple. He is very kind and makes you feel... comfortable. I have since recommended many friends and family to him and they all have had a positive outcome and always thank me. If you are looking for a professional, kind and caring attorney to put your mind at ease, I highly recommend you give him a call. You will be glad you did!

Exceptional Estate Planning, Trust, Probate Attorney

Mr. Ryan Doddridge is an exceptional attorney and human being. He (and those in his firm) not only helped our family with estate planning but patiently, gave generously of their time to understand our particular wishes, circumstances and needs showing the highest level of integrity and professionalis...m. He cares about his clients and provides guidance based on his knowledge of the law and family needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan Doddridge, PA to anyone looking for help with estate planning, probate, and trust administration. So grateful to have had his help in the planning stages and to have his help available to us in the future.

Trustworthy, Caring, Competent, and Client-centered

I wish I could adequately articulate how grateful I am that Ryan was recommended to my husband and me. From the very first consultation, he very patiently listened to understand and then asked clarifying questions to make sure he understood. Then, after giving us the legal information we needed, he a...sked us questions to make sure we understood. When we came back to sign papers, he again spent time with us that had not been on his schedule. He truly puts his clients first. We still have more to do, but I will only go to Ryan to have the work done. One thing that was so important was that he warned us that after filing our document we might get "official" looking mail indicating that there were more fees to be paid. This indeed happened and we could comfortably shred them and throw them away. If he had not done this, we could have been scammed into paying money we did not need to pay. I am so grateful that he made sure to warn us. I have such respect, trust, and high regard for Ryan Doddridge and recommend him without reservations.

Eficient ,trustworthy and very pleasant

It is hard to find a good lawyer without a personal recommendation from a trusted friend. There is so much noise in the media full of hyperboiic and exaggerated claims. We were lucky to be referred to this wonderful and talented lawyer. He listens, advices and follows through. He has always give us ...the impression that he has our best interest at heart. He is not internet & TV loud or flamboyant and he doesn’t need to be. His work speaks for him as do his many happy clients.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
