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.

Goes above and beyond

Ryan, Shelly, and Elizabeth are all incredibly professional and very easy to work with. They reviewed the potential outcomes and eased many of my worries. They were prompt, caring, and clearly experienced. I felt comfortable asking any questions I had and also felt at ease while proceeding with the c...ase. A wonderful team!

Saved my career

I am a medical doctor who suffered a severe injustice for which I had no recourse (i.e. no physical proof beyond he said/she said). Years later, I was accused of a low-level non-violent crime that I (may have) committed in retaliation; but my actions were justified in my ethical code, given the egre...giousness of the trespass against me and my family. However, I knew the law wouldn't see it that way. When the Hennepin County police contacted HR at my new employer in Seattle, I already knew two things: 1. Don't EVER talk to the police and 2. Get legal help ASAP (like that very hour). I paid an hourly rate to a nice but not aggressive MN lawyer to talk with the cops, who was able to tell me the evidence the detectives had, but dropped me right there. He left me to suffer the daily tension headaches and sweaty apprehension of not knowing whether or not I was going to get charges. Gross misdemeanor charges mean I am immediately fired from a high end job, according to the contract with my employer. After two weeks of not knowing if I would be charged, I was going crazy, drinking and shutting down mentally, considering purchasing a firearm. No way was I going to last the full year that police and district attorney generally spend deciding if they have enough to file charges. At that point, I called Ryan Garry. I had done my internet research and reviewed his numerous helpful YouTube law tutorials. He heard my case with compassion. He will interview you from all angles, of course determining the facts of the case, discussing hostile and friendly witnesses, discussing the evidence; but he also dives into the secondary problems our "speedy" trial system can create. He asks about home life and mental health, and it is the holistic approach I think that sets him apart from other lawyers. Regardless of the guilt or not, a defendant needs to be as mentally healthy as other "not guilty" defendants, should they ever need to appear in court. He put me at ease, telling me right away that my crime would not be punishable by any jail time. He is quickly responsive, even on his court days. Due to my draconian contract, he knew that preventing charges was top priority. Thankfully, he knew the particular law enforcement officers involved in my case, and he made contact. By pointing out weaknesses in their evidence, he was able to persuade the police to close my file and not send my case to the D.A. in the first place! Ryan Garry JD is worth every penny! Maybe the law lost last week, but common sense justice won, and I believe Ryan understands the difference. If you don't believe me, YouTube Ryan Garry and watch 20 or so short (<2 min) vids. Thank you Ryan! I have stopped daily drinking alcohol as you know, and your great outcome has given me a renewed sense of purpose for my work!

Dedicated, well connected, brilliant and humane.

The title sums up my experience with Ryan Garry. Not only is he caring and humane, but he understands the law like no one else. He exhibits total dedication and tenacity, and he exhausts every possible avenue to provide the best advice and service for his clients. Ryan also understands the "system..." better than most, and his wide network of connections help him navigate difficult cases creatively, passionately and effectively. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone, anytime, for any legal matter.
