Won my case
I never got around to writing a review. I was in a situation where I was facing fictitious allegations and charges for multiple restraining orders from my ex-wife and her family. Attorney Gering went in there and showed them why he is deserving the recognition of being a "super lawyer". Thank you, Ryan, I hope to never be in a situation where I have to retain you again, but highly recommend you.

Amazing Attorney
I hired Ryan Gering towards the end of 2018. He wasted no time on getting my charges reduce. I was able to avoid an expensive trial. He is a true professional. I would recommend hiring Mr Gering for any legal issue, but he shines when it comes to dui cases.

Excellent
W/out going into the specifics of the incident suffice it to say that my very good son made a very bad decision that could have potentially destroyed his dreams of serving in the military as a musician. Ryan guided us through about six months of some very trying times to include the administrative and criminal proceedings and was instrumental in allowing my son to retain his privileges w/out restrictions. He was willing to work w/us on short notice, provided excellent advice and representation, was willing to answer our constant “what if” questions and worked w/us up until the day of my son’s enlistment in the Marine Corps – as a Marine musician. W/out Ryan’s help I doubt my son’s dream would have materialized. I am exceedingly grateful for his help.

DUI Case call Ryan!
I got in touch with Ryan Gering at Hulnick Law office after I had gotten a DUI on Saturday night. I called him the next morning right after it happened and he got me in that day. I didn't want to waste anytime. I knew I had a good case, but I needed the best defense possible. I googled best DUI lawyers in Wichita and his name came up on all searches. When this happened I had a lot of thoughts going through my mind of what was going to happen to me career wise and personally. The public embarrassment. He sat me down and took his time and we went through step by step of what happened that night. He answered all my questions and let me take as long as I needed. He won the administrative hearing and got the criminal case dismissed. Ryan took my case serious where as some lawyers you feel like a number and they aren't fully engaged in your case. It was a long three months, but such a relief when he called me and told me we got the case dismissed. Definitely call this guy he is the best and takes his career seriously!

When there's trouble headed my way, I hire the best as it's no time to play
First off and unfortunately, I've had cause and requirement to hire an attorney from the top firm in the city, state, possibly region a few times over the last 5 yrs. I was referred to the law offices of (at the time) Hulnick, Stang, and Rapp by an officer of the law who confessed he and many of his collegues simply hate being questioned and crossed by a defense with a attorney from that firm. I first interviewed with the big dog, Mr. Les Hulnick. Needless to say he was everything I had been hearing about and then some. With his sharp and dynamic character he grabs your attention and holds it with ease. He is truly a legal Juggernaut and as you walk out of his office you let out a sigh of relief as you know without a doubt you came to the right place. Mr. Hulnick informed me my case would be put into the capable hands of C.Ryan Gering. At this point my mind immediately and foolishly had one thought... I didn't remember hearing the name Gering in the firms name. That is one thing for which I've learned my lesson well. I noticed that Gering wasn't a named partner and thought oh no. I must not be very important afterall. I have truly never been so completely and utterly wrong and have never been so happy about it . Although Les Hulnick meets and surpasses any and everything you hear. Such is the path I walked with Ryan that I would rather wait for his availability to represent me over any other lawyer. That being said when it comes to Hulnick, stang, and Gering .... That is correct readers, C.Ryan Gering is now a named partner. And could've earned such an acheivement with the phenomenal work he did on any one case. Ryan is not going to waste time with a lot of words nor feed you a line of legal jargon that sails over your head. The expression walk softly but carry a big stick is what he reminds me of. He's a ninja lawyer. He is careful, crafty, and cunning. He is also as patient as they come, both with putting up with me and most importantly with very precisely picking his moment to strike. His results are a testimony to his methods. Both of the other attorney's (Les Hulnick and John Rapp) that I've consulted with or was represented by at this firm were outstanding and they are both legal rockstars and they ARE legal rockstars. Ryan opts to deliver his legal expertise one of two ways that I've seen so far, he quite calmly and with out an excess of words or posturing will either drop you like a sniper from a 1000 yds out, or if you ask for it he'll walk right up and look you in the eye and drop you like a heavy weight boxer with a legal left hook. It's all depending on the situation and I have delivered Ryan some rough cases to handle, the latest was flat out unwinnable I guarantee even Ryan thought "holy impossible case, batman!" And probably wanted to call me up and say "damn it Jim, I'm a lawyer not a doctor!" "this case is on life support and needs the plug pulled." Instead he shook my hand, smiled, and preceded to create a strategy for victory that floored me when he informed me of the plan... and to my shame I actually had some doubts about our unique defense. This was a long play strategy and I can't recall one detail not going his way from start to victory and what a glorious and sweet moment that victory was. I have seen and benefited from his methods more than once, and while I've only ever met top notch lawyers at the firm, for my money and freedom there is only one name I want to hear when trouble comes a knocking. I will never adequately convey my gratitude and admiration for named partner C. Ryan Gering. So you can all read this but then go find your own legal eagle, his firm has plenty of rockstars I'm sure... Oh, I was just told it only feels like you're his sole client. If you've read this short story then it's all on you, I've led you to the waters edge...

DUI
Getting a DUI can be humiliating, stressful, confusing and complicated. I hired C Ryan Gering simply because another attorney recommended him for my specific situation. C Ryan Gering and his staff were compassionate and kind when I was at my worst. C Ryan Gering and his staff took care of everything for me. I am very impressed with the outcome of my situation. C Ryan Gering was on my side fighting for ME. He made me feel like a priority and I felt like he took my situation personally. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Great service in a stressful situation
No one wants to need a lawyer for criminal charges but sometimes it happens. From the initial consultation through to closure of my case, I was treated with respect by everyone in the office. Ryan Gering explored every option we had for my defense and was able to get the charges dropped completely. Communication was wonderful, they kept me informed every step of the way. If you need legal help, you should definitely give them a call.

Z.B. vs state of Kansas
Christopher Ryan Gering represented me in my case. It was a case I felt as if I would be sent to prison for sure . Mr. Gering was able to get me probation with getting years taken off my sentence as well. He's very strait forward an tells it like it is. He's also a caring and understanding man. I was very pleased with the outcome. I would definitely go back to Mr. Gering if I had any more problems in the future. I would recommend Mr. Gering and his firm to anyone needing excellent representation. Thankyou so much for all your help Mr. Gering. Sincerely , Zach

Above and beyond
My experience was more than I could have ever asked for. I was facing a very lengthy sentence that didn't look like any positive outcome could have happened. Ryan managed to show the judge I was a rehabilitated individual and I received probation instead of prison time. Seeing this was my second offense and I have already been to prison once I did not think there was any chance this would happen. Ryan not only got me out of a prison sentence but gave me a second chance in my life. I can not thank him enough. I would recomend Ryan to anyone with criminal charges.

Pending
So far, so good. The action that I hired Mr. Gering is pending at this time. I would recommend him as he keeps in communication with me. Mr. Gering spoke with me, directly, about my case. I will rate him AFTER my situation is resolved and I have great confidence that Mr. Gering will resolve my case favorably.
