Call Ryan Schur

Ryan Schur is by far the guy to call for legal help. He was extremely attentive and communicative regarding my case and responded immediately to any question I had. He was also able to reduce my charges drastically and my case resulted in the absolute best possible outcome. I am forever grateful t...o Ryan Schur and he would be my first recommendation to anyone who needs legal representation.

Metra Ticket(s)

My wife and I were able to engage the services of Ryan's practice to address a frivolous citations. Ryan communicated with both my wife and I regarding the citations, the process of appearing and contesting them and overall the entire process in a simple plain spoken way. Ryan was extremely communica...tive leading up to the court dates and, in particular, the day of the hearings. Overall, he provided great counsel/advice and was open to suggestions regarding the circumstances of our situation. He did not over promise anything but certainly preformed at the high level we had hoped for in servicing our cases. I will happily refer him to others for all of the reasons listed above.

Speeding ticket representation

Ryan very successfully represented me on a misdemeanor b speeding ticket. In the initial consult he spent the time answering all my questions and concerns. He was extremely responsive and easy to quickly communicate with. Being someone that leads a busy, hectic life - Ryan made this process beyond e...fficient and easy for me. Finally, and maybe most importantly, Ryan was able to get me a very favorable result.

Professional and Personable

Six months ago, after a friend's wedding, I found myself in a scary, difficult situation. DUI and a trip the police station. One call to Ryan Schur (after midnight) and he was there, he calmed my fears and personally drove me home to my family. He took immediate action, all while informing me of poss...ible outcomes and answering the hundreds of questions I had. He is an extremely knowledgeable and respectful attorney. The entire time I was able to drive thanks to his petition for a permit and tomorrow my license will be reinstated. He made the entire process easier, I don't know what I would've done without him.

Incredibly brilliant and capable

I was distraught and far from home while experiencing what felt like a tragedy, an accident a ticket and a court date. Ryan was quick to put me at ease while alerting me to possible outcomes. He was always professional and quick to respond if I had questions even at the long distance in which my def...ense took place about 1200 miles. I was relieved to know that he had my back. While I was praying for what I thought to be implausible or just short of a miracle. Ryan was busy making it happen, a complete dismissal of any charge against me. Thank-you Ryan for all your hard work and dedication. I would sincerely recommend attorney Schur to anyone.
