Great job

Ryan has helped me with a will and some minor criminal work. He did a great job with both.

Posted by Elizabeth | August 5, 2013

Very Smart and Patient with my questions

Ryan handled my divorce case and was really great to work with. Of course I was nervous and emotional, but he explained everything to me and did a great job. He is very knowledgeable and very patient with me. I was very happy with his service. I recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
