Divorce lawyer

If you are looking a great divorce lawyer Ryan is ur man. Ryan has helped me so much with my case from going divorce to children custody. He is a good family man that cares about his people and fights hard in and out of court room but in the court room it’s gloves off he show a stern hand in the defe...nse of his people. My gains are not just a lawyer but a good friendship. He also got me more than I asked for in the court room with my initial offer to my ex wife which Iam forever thankful for.

Child Custody

I had an agreement set up with my ex husband and I was completely side swiped with it. I scheduled a consultation with him and explained my dilemma. He took my case and helped me amend the agreement to better suit the best interests for not only me, but my son as well. He was very upfront and brutall...y honest with everything, from cost to likelihood of different outcomes. He eased my nerves about the whole process and made sure I understood every detail of what I was agreeing. I would highly recommend him.

Thorough Divorce Attorney

I hired Ryan to handle my divorce case. I had many questions and worries along the way, but he was patient and reassuring with me. He was very thorough with making sure everything was ready to go before the court date.

Divorce

Mr. Powers was approachable, knowledgable, and sensitive to the needs of my family during the worst time in our lives. He was super efficient and was able to get my divorce granted during our first court appearance. Mr. Powers, I thank you for your professionalism, realism, and kindness.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
