Biography
When you don't understand what your attorney is saying to you it is not your fault. If you want to understand the probate process from start to finish. Just call me.
On the other hand if you are in a fight in a probate case then it is even more important that we speak with eachother.
We are litigation attorneys. Most people who handle probate do paperwork. They prepare documents for you but they are not going to be able to fight for you. We are located in Southfield but we handle cases everywhere in Michigan including the U.P. looking for a fighter? we are here!

Best Lawyer in Michigan
Jamie Ryke’s a samurai and a pit bull. He’s not only fast and quick to get the job done but is an extremely smart negotiator and loves to WIN! I not only feel safe with Jamie, but confident in knowing I’m on the right side, the winning side with Jamie Ryke.

A Fighter for Justice
Mr. Jamie Ryke and his team has done more for me and my late father in 2 weeks, than my previous passive attorney had done in over a year. He was ready and willing to jump into my case even it being late in the game. I wish he would have been placed on my path in 2015 when all this hell first started...

Excellent Attorney! Highly recommend!
Got my family through the complicated and overwhelming court system. He took care of everything and I always felt well informed. He was quick to respond if I called or had any questions.

Jamie R. Ryke's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jamie is an extremely knowledgeable and dedicated attorney. He is a pleasure to work with and a great mentor. He fights for his clients as if he was fighting for himself."
"I endorse this lawyer."

"Attorney Jamie Ryke is one of the premier probate attorneys in the state of Michigan. His combination of skill, experience, and expertise makes him a force to be reckoned with in any contested matter. I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this attorney without reservation. Mr. Ryke is extremely energetic, hard-working, and firmly determined to reach the best possible outcomes for his clients. He never turns away a challenge and is always eager to explore new methods and strategies when necessary. It seems his natural impulse to confidently approach every obstacle as though victory is all but assured and the inevitable struggle is merely a formality. This trait is particularly useful in seemingly dire situations and comes more naturally to him than most others in the field. Most attorneys are very busy and, while he's no exception, he somehow manages to be readily available for clients and handles each case with such devotion that many would think they were his only client. Those who've had lengthy or complicated legal matters know how valuable that is. Those who haven’t owe it to themselves to take my word for it. Mr. Ryke is diligent and aggressive for his clients, yet fair and compassionate toward them."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jamie Ryke is one of the finest Probate attorneys in the State of Michigan. Jamie Ryke is highly skilled, intelligent, detail oriented, professional, and hard-working. Jamie Ryke is a strong and zealous advocate for his clients and achieves excellent results. Jamie Ryke is an experienced probate lawyer who will fight for his clients."
