dedicated, thorough, and relentless when it comes to justice.

“Cincinnati is fortunate to have Ryan Nelson, a prosecutor whose integrity and expertise set a world-class standard.”

When in need RYAN NELSON indeed.

Ryan is one of the most helpful and determined Lawyer I’ve ever hired. He says what he means and means he says, and hold himself highly accountable when it comes to his profession. He is truly an outstanding guy and a great asset in the courtroom. For peace of mind, I highly recommend.

A lawyer willing to speak to you while not charging you by every minute

Ryan was down to earth and very willing to talk from the moment I had my first phone call with him, he gave me 4 months of living my life normally and time to set my life back to a place I could be happy with after a major life changing incident in my life and a guaranteed ovi, we were not able to ge...t a dismissal through no fault of Ryan but he did help me lower my charges and minimize the future impact this would have on my life, I was thankful I hired Ryan and still am with the case being closed.

Great Lawyer

On 28 June 2024, I entered a plea to being in physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. I was given a suspended sentence, ordered to pay a fine and court costs and that was it. The court was not inclined to issue a suspension or order any jail time. All in all, an exce...llent result on a matter that could have gone sideways.

Principled client service

Ryan helped me successfully resolve a county citation issue. He was very principled and justice-oriented. I felt like he championed my issue from the perspective of insisting the county do the "right" thing. His communications are clear and concise. His documentation process is comprehensive. ... He's intelligent and kind. He obtained a dismissal; I am exceedingly happy with the results. I'd highly recommend him as an attorney.
