Great Lawyer

I hired Mr. Ryan to represent me for my divorce. Even though that is not an area of expertise for Mr. Ryan, he did a fantastic job explaining the process and keeping me informed every step of the way. I appreciated his guidance through a very difficult process.

Posted by James | March 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Honest, fair, and trustworthy. Great experience!

I have used Jorden's services multiple times for employment and contractual issues. It is clear through working with Jorden that he is a true "advocate" for his clients and their rights. Better yet Jorden is always quick to respond to calls and emails which in today's age is harder and harder to find... with an attorney. I highly recommend Jorden.

1st Divorce Jorden had ever done

Found Jorden under "Pro Bono" online. Pro Bono is free. I was told I needed to pay $500. in which I did. Jorden took the case on per his comment as "favor" Not! I was his 1st divorce case. Jorden was not prepared for this case, or for court questions or even filings that needed to be filed, or wh...at to do after court. I recently found out from a DIVORCE laywer that in fact I could have appealed the decision. Within 30 days of the judges decision. Jorden fumbled the entire time at court. Jorden brought a family member to sit in the courtroom to watch & listen to help with this case. Several times Jorden consulted & asked him questions. As the family member he brought is a lawyer. Jorden asked the judge while I was on the stand in the middle of questions to consult with this family member outside the courtroom. Jorden would not let me talk or give facts on my case. That would have helped the out come for sure. I had to ask for a copy of the decree. I have also asked for the papers that was sent to the judge I have never received those papers either. Now I have $4800 to pay my ex husband. If I would have been allowed to talk I had already paid $2000. I would not recommend Jorden Ryan for anything. :(

I am very sorry that you feel this way about the way your case was handled. I take great pride in representing my clients and I sincerely regret that you did not have a positive experience.

Above and beyond being an attorney

I called Mr. Ryan's firm seeking council, left a brief message about my situation. Since Mr. Ryan does not handle my specific case need he actually contacted a different lawyer who called me the following morning, gave me a free consult the next day and we actually retained him after speaking with se...veral other lawyers. Mr Ryan went above and beyond his duties to make sure I was properly handled even though he could not assist. For a stranger to make sure I am taken care of, well, to me says a lot about Mr. Ryan. Many Thanks to him and I will make sure I share my story and his name to any one seeking consult in his line of service.

Divorce

Jorden Ryan represented me in my divorce in Jackson County, Missouri and I couldn't have been more pleased. He was very responsive in answering my questions and played "devils advocate" by throwing out the big "what if" questions making me take a step back and gain perspective when needed. He walke...d me through the process step by step and even made me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry! Meetings were scheduled and on time, documents were prepared, presented and filed on time, and no matter what he had going on, I always felt like a priority. He was very professional and not at all afraid to ask the tough questions even when I didn't want to deal with them. I couldn't have asked for better representation to have in my corner and would refer him to anyone who asked.
