Very helpful and thorough for small business contracts

Ryan spent time with my business partner and I going over some of the contracts we use in our small business, and the session was extremely insightful and valuable. He was able to help us understand the areas that are most important to focus on which provide us maximum protection and flexibility whe...n engaging with our own clients. We're super grateful for the consultation and will be coming back for any future needs as we continue to grow in our business!

Ryan is an anmazing attorney!

Ryan is an amazing attorney who really helped me slow down to ensure I had a solid foundation for my business before scaling my liabilities that would potentially cause major issues. One huge area that he helped with was our contracts. We thought we had solid agreements in place, but he was able t...o point out gaps that could be detrimental to our business if we didn’t fix the issues. If you are on the fence choosing an attorney for your business, at least hear Ryan out…you’ll be glad you did.

Avvo Rating

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.
