I was looking at a felony and at least four misdemeanors and didn't know what I was gonna do. The anxiety was excruciating but Ryan assured me that I wasn't alone during that stressful time and I believed him-which for me is a rarity-I felt informed and that he was sincerely invested in my case. I hi...gh recommend Ryan for all your defense needs. I hope I never use him again but if I find myself in need of an attorney you can bet Ryan is who I'll be calling. Thumbs high Ryan!!!

I've worked with Ryan on two separate occasions and gotten great advice from him several times. I went through a particularly ugly divorce from an ex-spouse that ruthlessly wanted to take everything she could from me. Ryan knew the law and kept her and her attorney in check at every turn. We were a...ble to settle with a much better solution than I expected. Ryan also took care of a land issue that my family had been fighting with a Northern Michigan county over for several years. Ryan got the county to fix the problem and I didn't have to lift a finger. Ryan also offered invaluable consultation that has saved me a fortune that a contractor was trying to scam me out of. Ryan is straight forward and knows his stuff. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who wants the best possible outcome that they can have.

I was living in Indiana at the time, and I got in some legal trouble just over the state line in a small town called New Buffalo, Michigan. Not only was I new to Michigan, but I had just recently moved to the midwest and didn't know anyone besides my immediate family. I needed a criminal attorney a...nd I needed one fast. I only had two weeks until my first court appearance when I started my search. Mr. Maesen's name was one of several that came up on my search and I promptly called. I left messages with 5 attorneys, and Mr. Maesen was the first to call me back almost immediately after I had left a message. He informed me that he was located about 2-3hr drive away from the courthouse I was scheduled to appear in. Mr. Maesen also informed me that he had a previous scheduled court date the same date as mine. With his great interpersonal skills and confidence in my case, I without hesitation; still chose Mr. Maesen to represent me. He informed me he would be sending a colleague of his to come and represent me on my first court appearance and more then reassured me everything would be okay and I would be safe. Being Jaded that I was and also feeling very mistreated by the justice system in Michigan, his colleague showed up and helped comfort me and we received another court date scheduled for two weeks later. Mr. Maesen was always available by phone or text anytime I needed to discuss my case before our next scheduled date. The prosecutor offered me a misdemeanor and Mr. Maesen and I firmly believed I didn't commit a crime and refused to accept any offer they had. After refusal of the misdemeanor the prosecutor informed us they were charging me w a felony and Mr. Maesen and I decided if they were moving forward and would charge me with a felony. This would mean Mr. Maesen and I would have to go to trial to fight this charge. I had never been convicted of anything in my entire life and I was pretty scared in all honesty. All along Mr. Maesen was confident and very reassuring to me during this stressful time of my life. 4-5 days after we refused to accept the misdemeanor charges, Mr. Maesen called and informed me that ALL CHARGES were dropped. I had done my research and found out that Mr. Maesen was a great trial attorney w a very high success rate. In all honesty I was nervous to go to a trial for my first time, but all of these nerves quickly came to rest when my attorney got ALL CHARGES dropped. I would recommend Ryan Maesen to anyone in the entire state of Michigan who needs a great attorney. He went above and beyond and I couldnt have asked for a better result from a better attorney.
