Excellent lawyer!

I've hired Ryan a few times and referred him to a couple of people. I've had positive results in all cases! He will get it done!

Great Attorney

I have had a great experience with Ryan. I referred others to him because of the trust I have in him getting things done to benefit our needs. I would hire him again and refer him confidently. He is very pleasant to work with and easily accessible.

A "Super Lawyer" so far, very fair!

I contacted Mr. Kosztya via email and he responded back to me within 12 hours via email and within 24 hours via phone. I was not referred to him by anyone but he was very polite. He explained everything to me and was very fair. He doesn't try to nickel and dime you and works alone so he is very famil...iar with your case, not passing it off to an assistant or another associate. He is very knowledgeable and gave me straight and honest answers to my questions.

Poor Service, WORSE ATTITUDE

Mr Kosztya is the true definition of every joke about lawyers. He was ineffective, rude, limited knowledge, limited work schedule & he is a bully. I hired Mr Kosztya & after a year I FIRED him and hired a competent lawyer that completed the case with great results. RUN THE OTHER WAY! Find a real ...lawyer.

Replied last January 16, 2013

I have withdrawn from two cases in the past year. One was a forfeiture matter. The other an ongoing visitation dispute. I have never been asked to withdraw from a DUI matter in over ten years of practice. It is unfortunate that an individual can leave such a scathing comment about me anonymously...
