Ryan was great. Throughout my case which was a DUI, there were several scenarios that were different than the average case. One example of this was that my license was a Wisconsin license but the incident happened in Minnesota. Whenever a question arose that Ryan did not have an immediate answer to... he would search until the answer was found then respond. this would usually take a matter of an hour. Ryan was strait to the point about what options were available and what the prosecutor would be looking for or how to present my case. Even when the answer was not something I wanted to hear. He always made it feel like we were a team. What we need to do is... They are going to try and say this about us... Finally Ryan would answer a question I had at any time of day. I would text him and within an hour I would have a response. I think back to when I thought I didn't need a lawyer and cringe. This whole process is over whelming and having a person who is truly in your corner made it so much easier. Thanks Ryan!

Ethically challenged

Ryan Drea had knowledge of how long video surveillance was kept (14 days) then it is erased. = He should have NEVER taken my money & represented me when he KNEW he couldn't retrieve something that had long since expired. The outcome: guilty with court fees & sts. I had to do my own investigating.../called various police stations and talked to many officers-local and state- to find this out. (I do not recommend anyone to use an attorney cause they are all legal criminals. Do your own research and investigate. They ONLY help those select few-when the stars are aligned. The rest are screwed.) What I stated are facts as Ryan Drea knows.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
