I recommend Attorney Macleod.

I highly recommend Attorney Ryan McCleod. I first met Ryan when he was an Assistant Criminal District Attorney. Ryan was knowledgeable and well prepared on all his cases. Ryan goes the extra mile to keep up with the latest trends in criminal and DWI defense law. Ryan has also developed an experti...se in Civil Rights matters and has handled several high profile cases recently. Ryan obtains the best possible results for his clients, one case at a time.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. MacLeod possesses traits that many other lawyers do not. Ryan works hard, but he also works smart. He's just as comfortable analyzing complex legal issues as he is in front of a jury. Plus, Ryan is a tireless advocate. With Ryan at your side, you have a lawyer that can handle any legal issue that confronts him and a lawyer with the ability to effectively explain those legal issues to a jury. Great lawyer."

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 25

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met Ryan the first week he started as an assistant district attorney in Galveston County and from the very beginning Ryan has impressed me as someone that would do whatever it took to separate himself from the rest of the heard. He is naturally smart, but unlike so many young lawyers he accepts that part of being young is realizing there is so much out there to figure out. Ryan has embraced that and the biggest compliment I can give him is that he is a tireless worker as he tries to find the answers. I have done this for 23 years now and I can tell you when you get a smart guy that is willing to put in the hours you are off to a great start as far as being a lawyer, but Ryan has that 3rd tool that not everyone has or can they even get..... courtroom presence! Ryan is very magnanimous, he has a great personality and a good understanding of people. Consider yourself in good hands if Ryan is your lawyer. I am also fortunate to call Ryan my friend."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Having faced Ryan on the other side of the table, I can say he is a fierce litigator who relentlessly seeks justice. A genuine person who's wisdom, maturity, and instincts make him an outstanding advocate for his clients. Ryan's knowledge of the law and common sense approach to the issues make him a natural. I'd be glad to have him on my side."

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.
