Ryan Hodge Cassman

I worked with Ryan Cassman, and could not have had a more nightmare of an experience. His talent is talking on the phone. We can quickly make you feel like he has things under control. When you hangup, he will take 2-3 weeks to respond to the most minor questions. When I say minor, I mean, asking if ...there had been any update in a month. After email upon emails, he would finally agree to a call, and convince me things were OK. Divorce is a stressful time, and minor updates are very appreciated. Due to his complete lack of action, my divorce drug out 8 months longer than it should have. I had to finally switch attorneys, and pay a whole new retainer, just to get moving. His last email to me was sending me some other clients financial documents, and I found out he never even sent the opposing counsel my discovery 5 months earlier. Please do not use him.

I was a client of Cassman he never helped me at all. During a meeting with me he stepped out to take a phone call and was gone for almost an hour. Charged me almost $20,000 and I did not get anything. He failed to explain the Indiana guidelines to me for parenting. Most of our communication was throu...gh emails. He had everything he needed to know for the case months ahead and was still charging me every week 100's to $1,000s and he kept postponing the court date but said it was my ex's lawyer. He never showed me any of the proposals from my ex and he just kept rejecting them without my knowledge. More or less towards the end I felt like I had to agree with everything my ex wanted due to feeling over the barrel with $.If I could do it again I would have NEVER hired Ryan Cassman. Please do not waste your time or money unless your rich and have thousands to waste.

I hired Ryan to represent me for a divorce and relocation case. I would recommend his services without hesitation. He is well versed and has a diverse skill set. While the inevitable goal of a divorce service leaves very little to celebrate, I am extremely thankful for his education, experience, a...nd competence in this arena.

I don’t write reviews for public posting but the posting of “a Family client of Feb 26, 2013” compelled me in this case. Mr Cassman handled the last two years of my extremely difficult and messy 5 - 6 years span custody – support matter at Marion County of Indiana. I have gone through multiple at...torneys for the same case. And my experience ranges from deceit by some of these attorneys, bias, stereotypes to gross injustices among the many. Mr. Cassman rescued my situation. It may be important to note that Mr. Cassman accepted to handle my case at the time other law firms (at least three) believe the case cannot be redeemed. Each of these family law firms blamed previous attorneys for the mess. Interestingly, to Mr. Cassman, the injustices and the status of the matter represent why he should take up the matter. Mr. Cassman did not only redeemed the matter but won the case. The other party also lost on appeal! He is honest and very professional. If you need a knowledgeable person to represent your interest while protecting the interests of your minor (if any), this is your attorney. I strongly believe credit should be given when due, Mr. Cassman did a great job. And I would like to encourage you to post your comments about Mr. Cassman you consider him to represent your interest. He did extensive research on my case. His fees are comparable, it’s not the least in Indiana but certainly not close to the highest.

I was a client of Ryan Cassman. He represented me in a family law matter. Plainly stated I did not like that he put off trial preparation until the last minute, was unprepared for hearings, sent an associate instead of appearing himself and grossly underestimated his fees and expenses, estimating $2,...500-5,000 and actually billing nearly $19,000. In my opinion Cassman appeared uncomfortable in the court room and an Indiana Odyssey Case Management System search indicates that many of his cases settle in mediation.
