This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
Unprepared
He was unprepared for the case and cited no additional work was needed "since it was unlikely." Well it ended up being "likely" and he then scrambled the day before the case was heard, thinking the other side would settle. There was little/no preparation in what would occur, and it was embarrassing. ...

Replied last January 17, 2024I am not sure how to respond to this review as I have no idea who you are. I will say that this review is not consistent with the amount of preparation we put into our cases and our reputation among our clients and opposing counsel of being very thorough and always prepared. I can’t think of any clients in recent history that have been anywhere remotely as unhappy with my representation as what you have described. Please message me directly so I can better understand what you are referencing and at least try to learn from the experience that you’ve cited here.

terrible attorney
This attorney refused to represent me in court for a temporary custody order and left me with an awful temporary parenting plan. He did not care about me as a client, just my money.

Replied last May 23, 2022Thank you for the feedback, Yohana. While I regret that you felt the need to post a negative review, I also acknowledge that sometimes attorneys and clients just aren't a great fit, and that definitely seems to have been the case for us. Nonetheless, I sincerely wish you the best of luck with your case and I'm glad you were able to secure a new attorney.

My experience with Ryan Davis ESQ.
I was fortunate enough to have attorney, Ryan Davis, handle my legal matter. He did everything he promised in representing me in court. I, in fact, did not even have to appear. He was able to get everything dropped that had been charged against me. I am so very grateful to Mr. Davis. If you ever need...

So Professional and knowledgeable
I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Ryan Davis. Being a foreign national, and dealing only with Ryan by phone, he still managed to expertly explain the system and process to me. All correspondence was answered quickly and honestly. He kept my expectations in check but in ...
