      Lawyer Lyndsay Jo Howard

      Lyndsay Howard, Family Attorney on Jun 22, 2015
      Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

      Having Ryan as an opposing counsel made all the difference in the world in getting our case settled. Ryan is amicable to work with, and unlike a lot of family lawyers, does not get emotionally caught up in the food fighting. This level-headedness really helps settle cases; which in the end, results in happier clients. I would greatly enjoy working with Ryan again - I wish all opposing counsel were as pleasant as him!
