RYAN THE REJECT!!!!

I left a review earlier but as my cases came to a close I find out that Ryan is incompetent, and grossly misrepresents himself I hired him for multiple cases going on consecutively...... after everything concluded I go and try to get my license reinstated they of course tell me what I had been tellin...g him that the ALS suspension was still in effect from a charge that was dismissed! Ryan was suppose to be representing me at Joslyn Law Firm but when it came time he sent some unprepared replacement who was late. Ryan never said he wasn't coming..... and unfortunately that for me was the beginning of the end!! I too would give him negative stars if i could as he has since failed to return phone calls. Who does that??? and why not he's been paid. Ryan/Josyln Law Firm are unprofessional and have lost there moral compass for better words...... Just do research before hiring attorney especially when your future is dependent on it. I now have to deal with the repercussions of his incompetence. Ryan and the Josyln Firm were lazy above all.. The crime here is that he's allowed to still practice law!! What a system we have........... Again do your research!!!

Winner!

I was charged with an OVI in Delaware County. This was my first brush with the law and I was very stressed and scared. I originally hired an attorney that didn't specialize in OVI cases. It quickly became clear that this was a mistake. I decided to switch attorneys and contacted Ryan Shafer. This was... like going from the minor leagues to the big leagues. Ryan had a strategy for my case immediately and carried it out like the professional that he is. My case was immediately reduced to a physical control and my year long administrative license suspension was taken down to 6 months. I would recommend Ryan Shafer to anyone who is facing these types of very serious charges. The piece of mind that your case is being handled by an expert in his field is well worth it.

Best of the Best

Having my 1st DV charge or arrest ever, and being scared, Ryan truly made sure to make me feel at ease. Explained everything to me, from start to finish. He was even able to get my case expunged. Not only did he go above and beyond for me, but did everything he promised he would do. No one better tha...n Ryan to take care of you! Truly has your best interest at heart!
