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.

I hired Ryan recently for a very serious case. The representation was at best poor. I am not sure how the reviews for Ryan are to be believed. Inworked with Ryan over a year and in that time he produced little to no value. He was paid and he produced results any law school junior could of produced. I... found he was not in any case forth coming with any information. I had to inquire often and beg for details. Ryan should of been forth coming, he rarely ever reached out to le, I had to initiate almost ever form of communication. He showed up late to court on a regular basis. Never in time to speak before hand and rarely spoke at length afterward. I do understand that Ryan works for a lower price, but his effort is mimimal, even less than what he is paid. My overall suggestion, use with caution. Be prepared to be let down.

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.
