Great lawyer

Mr.King is a great lawyer, awesome communication and I highly recommend you choose him when in need. He got my Class A charge down to a Class C that I can get expunged off your record eventually.

Meticulous

Ryan King represented me on 2 felony drug charges, and I am amazed at the attention he put into my cases and even more amazed at what he was able to get done with them! I was facing a 1st degree felony "possession with intent to deliver charge" and I could have been sent to prison for a long time (u...p to life in prison with a minimum of 5 years). On top of that, I was later arrested again for a separate possession of cocaine charge too. And I confessed in both cases. Things looked really bad before I met Ryan, and I was worried that I wouldn't find anyone who could actually help me. But Ryan looked into every single detail and was able to discover that the police made multiple mistakes on my 1st degree felony drug case. He fought really hard until the prosecutor reduced my charges to a 3rd degree and dropped the "intent to deliver" charge. And my second case was dismissed too. I still don't know how he made that happen, but no matter how bad things looked, he always had another angle to take and never stopped fighting for me. What Ryan did for me really hit home when I was sitting in court and saw 3 other people plead guilty to the same 1st degree charge that I was looking at and they all went to prison and one got more than 8 years of probation. All I got was 2 years of probation on deferred adjudication that I'll be able to hide from background checks in a couple years, which is much different than a convicted drug dealer in prison with no hope for my future! If I had never met Ryan, my life would be much different today, and I am incredibly thankful for the hard work and time he put into my case. If you need a lawyer Ryan King is the best!

Excellent lawyer

Mr King was such a pleasure to work with in a very trying time in my family’s life. He was quick to always respond when we needed advise and kept abreast of all issues we may not have been aware of or understood. Very thankful he took our case and won! Thank you Ryan King
