Get the best to represent you!

Ryan represented me in a felony criminal case. I was looking at potential jail time. Ryan helped me receive the best deal we could without going to trial. No jail, no home monitoring and no community service. Ryan told me he would defend me like I was his brother and that Is exactly what I received.... Prosecutors are scumbags, they don’t care if you are innocent, they don’t care if you made a mistake, they don’t care about the truth, the constitution or your rights. They will lie, exaggerate and leave out important details in order to make their case. Laws are written in their favor, so it is important that you have the best attorney to defend you. Ryan knows the prosecutors, the judges and the court system. He shines in the court room. I witnessed this in the many hearings we had. With his expertise and experience you can be sure you will get the best possible defense. Although I did not always agree with Ryan’s approach in my case I always trusted him because I knew that he was doing what was best for me. Being charged with a crime can be scary, frustrating and stressful. Ryan minimizes those emotions with his competence and confidence.

Ryan Garry and his team are who you would want on your side.

This might be a bit long but bare with me. If you ever find yourself in a situation with the law and you do not know what to do, or which route you should take, do not wait— get in contact with Ryan and his team immediately! I never knew or could ever imagine that I would someday be on the opposite e...nd of law enforcement pointing fingers at me for committing crimes that never even crossed my mind. What I so naively found out is that when the State have their mind made up about you, it doesn’t matter how innocent you are or how oblivious you are to the whole situation, there is no way you will be able to convince them otherwise—this is when you will need a Super Lawyer such as Ryan to represent you and to stand up for you as a Human with a family and a life and not just another Criminal in the court of law. Almost a year ago I was charged with a few felony offense that took me by surprise, I probably would have not even been charged if I would have consulted with Ryan sooner, who knows. I was so lost when it came to all these criminal charges as I had never faced anything this terrifying before. My wife found Ryan through word of mouth and from countless internet searching. She looked through a number of Attorneys but in the end we circled back to Ryan. Let me tell you, for the first time after being charged, being in the dark and extremely afraid of what the future entail, I was finally able to see a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel with just that initial meeting with Ryan; that alone speaks volume of Ryan's professionalism and first impression. I felt confident with his knowledge and competency in the legal system, I just knew that I can trust Ryan and his team to fight for my freedom. My case went on longer than expected because it happened in the midst of Covid 19; however, Ryan pulled through for me! He never withered and kept me in the loop about everything, he is smart, competent, and although he is polite, he can be intimating in the court room. With his hard work and due diligence; in the end, I am happy to announce that the Judge granted all motions in our favor!! It was the BEST news ever! After such a tiring and long combat, I can now look forward to a better year with my family celebrating the Holiday in peace (unlike last Christmas when I was summoned for court)— and it was Ryan who made that happen. Ryan is a Great criminal defense attorney, he definitely is one of the best out there, he is not just personal but he is also passionate for what he does and he will fight for you, I guarantee you. Thank you Ryan Garry!!!

Knowledgeable and Competent Attorney

I was involved in a couple of difficult positions in the past. Mr. Garry demonstrated profound understanding of the legal system and provided helpful advice/information during our consultation. Mr. Garry is not just a quality attorney. He is a good person and I highly recommend his services to anyone... who finds themselves in a tough situation.

Highest Recommendation

I had the privilege of being represented by Ryan Garry's firm. I was charged with a DUI and the outlook was less than ideal. I had never been in any type of legal trouble and had no idea how to navigate the path ahead of me, let alone deal with the shock of the event I had been through. Ryan took t...ime out ot his schedule to meet with me in person, and walk me through all of the options and the process for my case. I was in the best hands and that feeling was continued throughout the entirety of my case. I was very nervous and constantly anxious, I was emailing questions very regularly and was always met with prompt and thorough responses, all of which had the tone of calmness and reassurance. I was kept up-to-date on each and every step of the process, being cc'ed on any emails/communications that pertained to my case. I was guided to be proactive in my steps before my plea, given all the information to attend panels and assessments - which showcased my good faith and remorse. During the process, there was not a day that went by that I was not grateful that I had been referred to Ryan Garry. Even now, in hindsight, I am just as appreciative for the holistic positive experience that I had come out of such a horrible mistake. It's truly a blessing to have the legal matters be handled so professionally, but to also have the confidence and reassurance of peace of mind in such circumstances.

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.
