Great Choice

Ryan was very professional and Knowledgeable. Easy to get in touch with, and willing to help. He was actually early to the pre-trial, and spoke to the prosecutor swiftly and guard charges dropped way down. I highly recommend giving him a call if you are in need of a quality attorney

Contempt Charge

I was being charged with contempt of a court order. I was 100% guilty of. I take full responsibility for my actions, and this was the first time I have ever been in any kind of legal trouble. I was calling around looking for an Attorney, and they were all very expensive. Being a single mother, and no...t being able to work due to an injury at work I was very stressed. I called Ryan Reed and he got me right into his office the same day. As approaching his office, Ryan met me at the door. He shook my hand and introduced himself. He then walked me to his office. I gave him the papers I received from the courts. Ryan Reed could tell I was very nervous and stressed out with the situation I was in. I was being sued by my ex husband for $3375.00. My ex husband kept emailing, calling, and texting me stating he was going to push for me to spend 30 days in jail. As a single mother of 4 children, and my youngest being disabled anyone would understand my fear. Ryan Reed calmed me down almost immediately. With having PTSD, and an anxiety disorder that is hard to do. The night before court Ryan called me told me he would be there 15 minutes before my hearing, and to meet him there. The day of court Ryan was there before me. I'm sure he could see the fear on my face, and in my eyes. Again he immediately calmed me down. We were called into the court room, and I could just feel my heart beating so fast... Surprised Ryan couldn't hear it. Ryan did all the talking for me. My ex husband and I reached an agreement, and it was finally over. I was charged with contempt, but made the agreement to make payment arrangements. And just like Ryan assured me I did NOT go to jail. I highly recommend Ryan Reed for any legal matters. He is completely honest, and works very hard at his job. He was even willing to work with me on a payment plan, because I couldn't pay all at once. If you are looking for a GREAT Attorney please call Ryan Reed. I guarantee you will be 100% satisfied. He truly looks out for the best interest of his clients, and makes you feel very comfortable. Thank you so much Ryan Reed for all you have done for me. It is greatly appreciated. Your hard work and dedication to your clients are REMARKABLE. Thanks Again.

Incredible lawyer!!

From the moment I walked in Ryan's office I was greeted by Ryan himself. He walked me right back to talk with him and I had no wait time! He immediately sat down with me and asked how he could help me. He was very understanding, and right away I knew I had made the right choice for my lawyer! He took... care of my problem within days and I would recommend Ryan to anyone needing an outstanding lawyer! And will use him in the future if need be. I greatly appreciate everything Mr. Reed!

Ryan Reed's Lawyer Endorsements

Christopher Bucio

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ryan is one of the most well respected hard working litigators in criminal law in Southwest Ohio. What stands Ryan apart from the pact of regular good lawyers is that he has a unique background having been an assistant prosecutor for the very well respected Clark County Prosecutor Andy Wilson. The knowledge Ryan learned from his time with Mr. Wilson and his office is invaluable and can not be easily measured. Additionally, Ryan handles all his cases himself and does not send a fresh out of law school kid to do his dirty work. Few lawyers (people) for that matter have the ability to interact with everyday good people who are accused of a serious crime with the same attitude and dignity as they would with a Judge or fellow lawyer but Ryan does just that. If you are an out of town lawyer you most certainly can entrust Ryan with your referral."
