I hired Ryan and the RPM team to handle my car accident claim, Ryan was very thorough and explained everything I needed to know and was with me through the whole experience. I would recommend their firm, they take the time, and the detail to handle your case. Thank you, Ryan Melewski.
He was extremely professional and organized through the whole process. He was easily available for meetings/check ins. I felt he went above and beyond for me and really cared about getting me the best outcome possible.

Great Attorney
Ryan went above and beyond on our case when the insurance company refused to treat us fairly on our claim. I would highly recommend this firm!

A great lawyer
“I remember the first time talking to you on the phone. When you could not get in touch with me, you found different ways. You called almost every day to get and give information about my case. At this time, I have not seen you once. So, I pictured you as an old chubby man (laughing). When I first walked into the office and saw you, my whole description was wrong. I could not believe my eyes. We were not just lawyer and client, we grew a friendship. We joke and play around. I am lucky to have a friend like you. Even though it is hard to get me to talk, you were not giving up no matter what. Your # 1 goal was to get me to talk. All in all, you and Jeff worked your butt off to help me won this case and we did it. I would not and could not pick a different lawyer than you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!”

Truck Accident
It was a pleasure working with Ryan on a truck accident that occurred back in November of 2015. Immediately after, I had tremendous amounts of questions about the accident and what I should do. Contacted some of the more advertised lawyers in the area and they kept me on the back burner. Ryan on the other hand, from his direct line was able to give me several directive actions without even having signed anything. It was helpful and he stayed active with me and my questions every step of the way. It was impressive to watch them work on my case and achieved a reasonable settlement for the case. Highly recommend his services.

Highly recommend!
I was injured in an accident and wasn't sure how to handle everything. My parents got me in contact with Ryan and he help me through it all! He's very easy to get in contact with and thoroughly explains everything. He helped settle my case very quickly with a great outcome. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who may need a lawyer!

Excellent Representation
I had a last minute case to file from an auto accident and Ryan did not hesitate to accept the case. He was very generous with his time and in answering any questions I had. I felt like his only client whenever we talked by text, e-mail, or phone. He was not afraid to challenge a larger firm in the court room. His explanation of events and injuries was at a level that the jury was able to understand. I will recommend Ryan to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Lawyer you can trust!
I was recommended by a friend to call Ryan for help starting my home inspection business. Ryan is not your typical lawyer. Very personable, very honest, and has a conscious concerning his rates which I find very rare among lawyers. In addition, he was very helpful and quick to respond. I didn't need him for a car accident or medical malpractice, but I plan on using Ryan in the future if I ever need a lawyer with his expertise!

Honest and Respectful
After being injured in a car accident, I was not sure what to do. Ryan was referred to me and I am very glad that I worked with him. Ryan was very easy to communicate with and willing to work around my family's schedule to meet with us. Ryan answered all of our questions fully and we never felt that we were being given a "song and dance" to earn our business. Ryan's staff is very professional and courteous as well, and easy to speak with when questions arose. I never felt like I was alone in the process because Ryan and his team were very accessible. Ryan values his clients and makes sure that they are well represented and taken care of through the entire process.

If you want an attorney who is going to inform you on what you need to know and not just what you want to hear Ryan is the attorney for you! Ryan is very approachable and down to earth! There were many questions that I had and he always thoroughly explained to me what I wanted to know and never made me feel as if I were a burden like other attorneys will! He is very quick to respond to your emails and phone calls. I would recommend Ryan to any of my friends or family ! The bottom line is good, honest, and friendly attorneys are hard to come by but if you want someone who is going to work for you and not just for the money this is your guy!
