Ryan Kaess

I paid alot of money for this lawyer only for him to admit he was ineffective and not doing his job. His communication was terrible at best and when he did answer he was short and condescending-I was never clear on where this case stood and almost seemed as if he was NOT on our side. Was a waste of... money and time and felt as if he did not care and was being bothered. Would of saved tons of money going with a public defender which is exactly what the co-defendant did and got out of jail and charges dismissed whereas in my sons case he sat in jail for a year and was basically forced into taking a deal. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE & FIND A LAWYER WHO CARES -not just wanting to take your money!

Divorce is absolutely rotten. Wouldn't wish it on anyone. With that said, Mr. Kaess is brilliant and extremely comforting to work with. He's honest, up front, doesn't screw around, and gets the job done. I'd recommend him to anyone. Thank you Ryan!
