Amazing Lawyer

Ryan was an amazing attorney for me and my family. He represented me in the most respectable way in court and was very personable outside. He cared about the end result and was upfront about how he was going to handle the issue at hand. He knew what he was doing and ensured us that he would do what h...e can to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible. The end result was amazing and now my family and I can be at ease. Thanks much Ryan.

Divorce Attorney

Ryan was hired by me to serve as my divorce attorney after a friend mine recommended I contact him. It was clear in my first meeting with Ryan that he was the attorney I wanted to retain to handle my case. I found him to be a man I could easily communicate with and trust in him to have my best inte...rests at hand throughout the entire process of my divorce. Ryan is a man of integrity who I feel was always professional and worked hard on obtaining a fair settlement in my situation. He didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but he knows the law and I trusted his judgement and past experience when handling my case. He clearly explained to me my available options as well as how a judge might come to a specific decision. He allowed me to make the final decisions but was always willing to share his input on the matter when I asked for his thoughts. I feel he took the time to explain what avenue's we might want to look at and why a specific course of action moving forward might be our best bet. I would not hesitate to hire Ryan for any legal matter in which I might need legal representation for moving forward. On a side note, his assistant Christine was always pleasant and helpful to me when I needed to drop off documents for my specific case. To be honest, I am thankful I had them working for me.

Genuine and Dedicated Attorney

I worked with Ryan during a very difficult time in my life, dealing with a contentious divorce and medical issues. Ryan and his support staff were wonderful to work with, very professional and knowledgeable. I always received timely responses to any calls or messages regarding my case, and he was ...able to get my case settled in a fair and timely manner. I have dealt with several different family lawyers over the years, and Ryan was, by far, the most personable, down to earth, genuine and dedicated attorney I have worked with.

Ryan was very helpful with my traffic case; like all the other reviewers, I have only positive things to say about hiring him. I will recommend him to everyone in the area who needs legal advice.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
