Ryan Evan Hill

I faced criminal charges for trespassing but there was much more to it then that. He followed through on the initial case, and related cases, that followed from the way I was treated by the arresting officer and a based judge. I was a police brutality victim who was convicted of trespassing in th...e 36th District Court in spite of the fact that I wasn't breaking any law, and I was at my place of employment in an area that was open to the general public. The law didn't even match the circumstances or my alleged behavior. We were even able to show that the prosecution's primary witness perjured herself. The arguments he made at the bench trial were flawless and backed by evidence and case law. My conviction was only possible because we ended up with a judge who was not interested in the letter of the law, facts or logic. He appealed the guilty verdict to circuit court and left no stone unturned. The judge appeared to understand the arguments, but then took several months longer than she had first indicated before finally responding with a ruling. The denial failed to address any of Ryan's arguments while only regurgitating statements by the prosecution. I believe she would have overturned the verdict if she gave the ruling with Ryan's oral arguments fresh on her mind, or if she had read over the appeal thoroughly. One unexpected consequence of the flawed verdicts was that Crime Victims Services asked me to refund money paid to me as a result of the assault by the officer on me. Ryan successfully argued that the guilty verdict against me, did not absolve the assaulting officer of responsibility and I was able to keep the money. He also moved forward with a civil case that was resolved in my favor, even though the criminal conviction made this effort more challenging. Once he takes on a case he follows it through to the finish. In addition to the aforementioned sequence of cases, he and members of his firm have gotten traffic tickets against me dismissed.

He is an attorney that is mindful of both sides while also working for the benefit of his client. He also has a wide range of knowledge in law and utilizes every branch to have a favorable outcome. Lastly but more importantly I know this may sound cliche' but he actually cared about me. You have many... lawyers that care about money more than anything but at the end of the day he worked with me and for me.. For that I can do nothing but respect him and thank him. Thank you Ryan.

I hired this attorney about two years ago. He seemed great! He appeared to be sharp, attentive and all the things you wished your lawyer would be. He was successful in getting a ticket dismissed because it was a clear violation of corporate laws on the officer's part but he failed to deliver the most... important message. That there was another ticket that had to be paid for within a very specific time frame otherwise the dismissed ticket would be reinstated. I was told the ticket was dismissed and to pay for the other ticket when I get to it. Anyhow, turns out the dismissed ticket turned into a warrant and yes, I was arrested. Due to Ryan's failure to tell me that this was a time sensitive situation. He then stated that he had emails providing that it was specific to the time frame period in which the ticket had to be paid or this would happen.. I checked all my emails from him and none of these emails stated anything of a reinstatement of the dismissed ticket should the other fine not paid within the specific 30 days.. I called this lawyer to ask him to please fix this problem and he said, we are here if you need us for rehire. I called several times and left messages on re-hiring him which I think is not fair because his firm should back up his clients no matter what and not nickle and dime them. And to ask him to send his emails stating about the reinstatement and time frame to pay. Never called me once nor attempted to help me after he took my money. The sad part was I really did like this lawyer and he was to me, the go to lawyer for anything that would come up if I needed any help. These reviews are misleading. Beware. He lost a life time client.

My company hired Ryan for a few different legal matters, and he has been great! Very knowledgeable and determined. Ryan has always been available for any questions we have had as well, and was thorough in his answers to us. Would definitely recommend Ryan, and use his legal services if needed in th...e future!
