Ryan Lee Powers

I live in Miami, FL, but I hired Ryan Powers to handle an unusual, complicated and highly personal family law issue in Pekin, IL ... based partly on reviews from this site but also on the way he conducted our initial consultation and after comparing his interpersonal skills (and rates) to three other... attorneys I interviewed on the phone, all of whom I met through Avvo. Ryan guided me to a successful conclusion of my case, with the results I wanted from the start and much faster than I had hoped. He was clear about the legalities of my unusual case, and he communicated regularly and was available quickly every time I needed him, providing answers to direct legal matters and sage advice when I needed that as well. He told me when to stand my ground and when/how to negotiate through a tricky agreement. As my representative in Pekin, I also appreciate how Ryan conducted himself with the other person in my case. Family law can involve sensitive, personal issues, and Ryan handled my case professionally and delicately. I have never met Ryan in person, as we conducted my case via email and phone (rather unusual and cause for initial concern on my behalf). However, by their actions and regular and clear communications, Ryan and his office staff gave me enormous confidence that I was being represented in the best possible way long distance. In Powers Law, I had a strong attorney and caring people looking out for my best interests from thousands of miles away. I cannot recommend Ryan Powers more highly, and I would hire him again without hesitation.

Ryan took on my case against OSF at a time when I had truly lost all hope. I had done my best to remediate the situation on my own but realized I needed someone who knew the law and would be my advocate. Ryan was very honest about our options. He never made promises he couldn't keep and encouraged me... along the way when I was frustrated and losing hope. I would without a doubt recommend Ryan to anyone without hesitation! My debt with OSF was more than $17,000.00! I received a letter today stating that I now have a zero balance!!!! For my family this is like winning the lottery!!! The relief I feel is truly immeasurable and words just cannot describe how grateful I am to Ryan. There will NEVER be another attorney handling my legal matters. I trust his work implicitly! Another one of my family members has already hired him to represent them.

Ryan was assigned to take over my case when the attorney I originally retained had to heavy of a case load. After very little briefing Ryan ran with it and never skipped a beat which made me feel very confident in his ability to represent me. He was brutally honest with me on the long shot of winning... this type of case. We had to prove a partnership on a land deal that I did not put my name on for various reasons. When the partnership fell apart the defendants did not feel they owed my anything when all they put in was sweat equity and I was the only one making the monetary investments. Ryan used some agressive techniques in and out of court which pressured the defendants to settle with me. It was the out come I hoped for but knew it was a 50/50 shot. I am very grateful the law firm accepted my case and thankful Ryan was my Attorney. He was very passionate about my case and I felt that was a huge part of the success in winning it for me. The day my case closed I asked Ryan if he would be my Attorney if I ever needed one in the future and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
