A lifeline when the outlook was bleak

Like so many others, I never thought I would find myself needing to find a criminal defense attorney. My son was being investigated for something that he did not do. The consequences of a conviction, even at the lowest level would have been life altering. My family was scared and did not know who... we could trust and who we couldn't. Ryan was recommended to my be a high level attorney who does not do criminal work. As soon as I had my first conversation with Ryan, I instantly felt as though there was some hope. He was calm, knew exactly what to do and quickly set things in motion. Throughout the course of 4 or so months Ryan, Elizabeth and Shelly were amazing. They were extremely thorough and did a wonderful job and making me and my son feel a little more at ease. We were recently given the good news that he would not be prosecuted. I am so gratefully we had Ryan and his team advocating for my son. I'm not sure we would have had the same outcome without them.

Great services

I can't thank Ryan and his team enough! The entire team, including Elizabeth and Shelly, were professional, respectful, and timely. From the moment we contacted them (in the middle of the night no less) I knew I was in good hands. Ryan is an expert in his field and knows the ins and outs of a very... complex system. He got me out of jail much sooner (1.5 days) than expected. He even sent someone to speak to me in jail which eased my worries. He kept me informed every step of the way and explained what was happening clearly. The team then got me the best deal possible with the prosecution. Instead of being charged with two crimes I was not convicted of anything and was awarded a stay of adjudication, which is the most favorable outcome. I would have been completely lost without Ryan during this whole experience and would have had much worse results. I would definitely recommend him and his team to anybody!

Best Attorney in the State!

Ryan Garry, LLC is one of the best defense law firms in the state of Minnesota. Both Ryan and Elizabeth defended me in a federal, state-wide case which entailed numerous layers of discovery and massive amount of documents to thoroughly review and go over in order to solve the largest puzzle. Because ...of Ryan and Elizabeth's relentless hard work, wisdom, insight, and communication with the federal prosecutors, I was able to come out of this case. I didn't deserve the grace and fair judgement of the prosecutors and the honorable Judge, but Ryan's amazing presentation of circumstantial evidence and the respectable communication from both Ryan and Elizabeth to the prosecutors and the Judge landed me in the safety zone. Watching Ryan speak in front of the Judge was like watching a movie. It was a mesmerizing moment for me and my family, and I am extremely humbled by this entire process. I am a strong believer in our justice system, and I have gained so much respect towards the Prosecutor and the Judge in my case. Again without Ryan and Elizabeth, this wouldn't have happened. I am forever thankful to them. For this firm, every case is personal. They have the highest regard towards family and understand the pain and suffering of the client and family throughout the process. They are the definition of serving justice amidst empathy, understanding, and compassion. I strongly and sincerely, from the deepest of my heart, recommend this firm. It is an honor to be represented by two of the most professional, knowledgable, sincere, and personable attorneys in the state of Minnesota. I am very fortunate and grateful to have met them and be represented by them. I can truly, honestly say that I was in good hands.

The BEST!

Ryan is incredible! His whole office is so friendly. I was accused of harassment by my ex husbands fiancé and she obtained an ex parte HRO against me even though I live across the country. I was entirely satisfied with the results and from my 1st consult with Ryan over the phone - I knew no matter wh...at that he had to be my lawyer. I was informed via email or phone call every time a letter came in or out of the office on my case which made me feel involved. He still works to this day addressing questions from time to time about the case when I have them. I was involved in a family case at the same time in Texas and Ryan made plenty of time to conference call my divorce lawyer to make sure my legal team was on the same page. Ryan wasn't judgemental to my situation & you won't regret having him in your corner. He was available to me anytime & even stepped out of meetings to take my call. He's top knotch & easy to communicate with. His paralegal Shelly is equally wonderful. They love what they do & they're very good at it. You're in the best possible hands when you hire them. Ryan is what every lawyer should be.

The Best

From the moment I contacted Ryan, we were able to sit down with him to discuss our problem. From that moment on, Ryan reassured us that he would take care of us and that everything would be alright. He was right and we are so great full that we had him as our attorney. We can't thank you enough, you ...are the best.
