Ryan Edward Decker

Excellent Lawyer who's compassion and knowledge of the Law on behalf of men in general and me specifically helped to secure a reasonable agreement. Mine was a Separate Maintenance Order, which also included 2 minor children. I highly recommend a consultation with Ryan if your heading in this directio...n.

One is never prepared for a divorce, many of us come to the consultation with no previous practice in the matter. Mr. Decker took a highly sensitive matter involving abuse with the utmost care and professionalism. He was there to explain the process, rights, and protect my best interest. He advised ...and consulted based on the developments of the proceedings, the actions of the defendant, and drew from his previous experiences in the Brighton Court. Not everything was easy, and not everything went my way--that's the truth of divorce. However, Mr Decker's advocacy gave me the confidence to move forward with tough decisions even when emotions became debilitating. The outcome was fair, the split was final, and my anxiety relieved. I'd highly recommend Mr. Decker for his patience and tact while dealing with victims of abuse and trauma on any scale.

I was closing on the sale of my house and my ex-wife was attempting to stop it and extort money from the sale. My divorce attorney had long since retired so I was a complete cold call for Ryan. He didn't hesitate to take my call and case. He reacted immediately and saved the sale of my house. It's ha...rd to find an attorney that listens and cares but you will get that with Ryan.

A year after my divorce I am going to court for custody of my child. As people are looking over my papers, I am constantly being told that my lawyer did nothing for me, and I got screwed in every direction. I lost everything, no alimony, and nearly no child support for the child in my custody, no hom...e, lost my belongings for my hobbies. When in a meeting to divide our things, it felt like Mr. Decker sat back, and relaxed while the other lawyer did all the work. He did not argue for anything for me. I could have done on my own, what he did actually do, file paperwork.

I would never recommend Mr. Decker. I hired him for my divorce. The consult went wonderful as of a strategy, evidence, witnesses and he advise so things I didn't think was possible but assured could be done. On the first day of the court, he was not the same guy I hired. Everything we had discussed f...or the strategy was somehow not an option. He pretty much sided with my ex-wife attorney. Advising to just go along with it for now, and later file a motion. I was confuse! So I asked what did they say about what I wanted as far as parenting time. He replied, "She's not going to agree with that, it's not too bad how about every Wednesday and every other Weekend." I'm thinking this is A.D.A.M. which is suppose to help defend fathers in the justice system that caters to moms. I understand that I won't get my way and divorce is compromising. However the attempt to defend my rights as a father was never met. I agree with another review, my ex-wife lawyer was coaching him through the process, he has no Backbone. I was so unhappy with Mr. Decker services I retained a new lawyer. The funds left over from unused billing hours from my case he drained every dime. After my new lawyer contacted him to transfer over the case. With my new lawyer I ended up with joint custody week on week off. No thanks to Mr. Decker.
