Very nice but lack ability to follow up and communicate accurate information
Ryan was very friendly and polite but he did not seem organized or knowledgeable. I was disappointed in his communication skills. He was slow to provide info requested and the information he did provide was inaccurate.
Ryan DeBra
Replied last November 20, 2014The prior review does not sound familiar. When advising a client, I always provide accurate information regarding the status of the law as it relates to each individual client. The outcome of court proceedings and trial can be difficult to predict. As an attorney I do not guarantee any outcome for my clients, however, I do guarantee that I will zealously advocate for my clients. I guarantee that I will work hard, always be prepared and always communicate honestly with clients. I strive in each case to meet that client’s goals and expectations. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss any specific concerns. -Ryan DeBra
