Ryan Anthony Maesen

Ryan helped me with a Failer to Comply with SORA charge. A charge brought by a very conservative and suborn county in West Michigan. They dragged the case out for 6 months and refused to drop the charges. After Ryan's defense it only took the 12 jurors 20 minutes to come to a unanimous Not Gult ver...dict.

I highly recommend Ryan Maesen as an attorney. He promptly responded to my inquiry and was able to meet with me the same day. Ryan is fair, honest, and attentive, always following through on his word without making empty promises. I especially appreciated his transparency in setting realistic expecta...tions. He’s a great communicator, whether through phone calls, texts, or emails. If you’re looking for a reliable lawyer, I strongly suggest working with him.

When subpoenaed as a witness for the prosecution in a criminal trial, through no fault of my own, I ended up in a bad situation. When I went for my witness prep meeting, I was literally attacked and by their threats, I was led to believe that if I didn’t say what they wanted me to say when I testifie...d, regardless of what the truth actually was, they would charge me with perjury, along with a list of criminal charged. They claimed they had proof I was lying to them, although I was shown NOTHING, not even my own previous statements made when the police spoke with me with body cams recording in the course of their investigation. So proof of what, I had no idea! And to top it off, apparently to keep me isolated, I was told I could tell NO ONE about this meeting, especially NOT my husband or family! Now I’m 72 years old and never had to consider hiring a lawyer before in my life. In fact, I’ve never even gotten a traffic ticket! I was so stressed over how they had treated me, and what they had threatened me with, that I couldn’t eat or sleep for two days. (I kind of figured they had lied to me, but not being a LEO or a lawyer, I wasn’t sure, so I wasn’t taking any chances.) Since I had NO intention of lying for them, and with the threat of perjury, plus other I-have-no-idea things, hanging over my head, I contacted Atty Ryan Maesen. He was the voice of reason in all the chaos. Ryan was very attentive and empathetic to my problem and he knows the law well! He listened to everything and explained to me what they could and could not legally do. (Yep, they lied.) Since he did not represent either of the parties in the trail, he could not object to their questioning, but he did advised me on how to conduct myself and on how to answer the questions, but not what to say. He accompanied me to court and was right beside me while I testified as truthfully as I remembered. (It's funny how the prosecution changed their attitude towards me once they found out I hired a lawyer.) It looks like everything has turned out ok, but he said if they still wanted to press the perjury issue, there were things we could counter with. Hopefully, it’s all over and done with, and they leave me alone. I highly recommend Atty Ryan Maesen if you need any kind of help regarding a criminal case, even when you aren’t the criminal! And his costs are reasonable.
