This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Ryan Zemke

Ryan was my attorney awhile back and he was the most honest attorney I've ever met. He's a very nice family man. Would recommend him over anyone.

Compassionate, Reasonable and Easy to work with!

Mr. Zemke helped me get through what could have been a terrible experience. He was knowledgeable about my options, honest, forthcoming and very easy to work with. I had such a great experience I recommended him to a friend and that friend had a great experience too. To this day, I am thankful I ca...lled Mr. Zemke!

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.
