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!

Great lawyer with Great results

So i caught a case for Resisting Arrest back in Dec2018 in Mckinney, TX. Mind you Im a black male from Indiana so my case was alil difficult. I hired Mr. Ryan King to take on my case, that had to be the BEST decision I couldof made! End result, was him getting my Case DISMISSED! Now idk if you guys r...ealize how hard that can be to be done and RARE to have a Resisting charge beat and dropped is, esp. me being a black male out of towner, just saying. BUT my man Ryan made it happen! I truly believe i wouldnt of had the same results with any other Lawyer. This man was truly a blessing to me. Not only with him being good at what he does, hes just a stand up individual and carries himself very well and professional. It wasnt just about the money with him. It was the individual. He didnt just treat me like some criminal that was in those pieces of paper. I could tell and know forsure he cared about me and my well being as a person. We got to know each other well. I can tell you firsthand that this Lawyer is going to fight for you and do all he can within his power to help you the best he can. Hes somebody who believes in you and i have very high respect for him not jus as a lawyer but a Man and friend after all this. If you just can believe in him as well, have patience, trust him and the process. I can tell you from experience he will get you the best offer and results around! I cant express how thankful and grateful i am to have had him represent me. I saw lots of Lawyers in and out of there some not look the part, unprofessionalism, kindof old schoolish in there approach. And nobody couldof understood me and represented me like Ryan King. Just on his look, vibe, personality and way he carries himself. Trust me he's going to get some results for you. So if you in the Collin County/Dallas area I HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring Mr. Ryan King to take on your case, you will not be disappointed. Under different circumstances and life in general hes somebody I could see being a friend. Still do. Thank you Ryan for all you done for me its truly appreciated and blessing man. I feel like he helped change not only mine but other peoples views with my case. Thats what lifes all about...Get Ryan King you wont be disappointed
