Honest, Highly Professional and Dedicated Defense Attorney
Mr. Coward is an honest and dedicated professional who puts his clients first.

Lifesaver
Ryan was a lifesaver, I do not say this lightly. As a team, we faced my civilian case and my military General Court Martial. Two cases placed against me after an uncontested divorce and within 3 mths. He has been more than just a lawyer in my eyes for he kept me grounded, looked out/worked with my fa...

He saved my baby!
We started with one attorney, but that attorney had to step aside due to health reasons. Ryan and his team did so much more than our first attorney ever did. They came up with ideas to knock out charges by filing motions to the point of trying to get everything dropped before the judges actual decisi...
"I give my strongest recommendation to Mr. Ryan Coward. I met Ryan while serving with him as a fellow Trial Defense Services Defense Counsel on active duty. Ryan was a gifted lawyer and Soldier with a great reputation. I give my recommendation to him as a lawyer, Soldier, and person."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ryan is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I tried my first attempted murder case with Ryan. Ryan was so impressive that when my team needed another lawyer on a complex, capital court-martial, I immediately thought of Ryan. As usual, Ryan delivered and produce impressive results. I would work with Ryan on any matter and expect to succeed."
"Ryan is a very experienced, aggressive trial lawyer. I have worked with Ryan on several trials and have seen first hand his skill, dedication and compassion. I highly recommend Ryan."
"I opposed Ryan Coward in a court-martial trial a few years ago in Korea. I remember Ryan as a very astute, formidable opponent. Ryan approaches legal issues with intelligence and a keen analysis. His assignment as a litigator in the JAG Corps no doubt provided him with experiences that most attorneys never have. Again, Ryan is an excellent attorney who can handle the most difficult of cases."
"Ryan is a keen, smooth, and intensely sharp litigator. Having worked with him on several cases, I know he exemplifies the old adage "iron sharpens iron". He is not afraid to stretch the limits for his clients. Ryan gets results."
"I was the opposing-counsel against Ryan Coward on numerous trials when we were both serving in the military and stationed in Korea. Ryan is an excellent advocate, outstanding in the courtroom and his ethics are beyond reproach. Ryan, a very worthy adversary and opponent, was also a pleasure to deal with in and outside of the courtroom. I give Ryan my highest recommendation."
