This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great attorney

I consulted with Ryan Wright on a variety of legal matters. He is very skilled and practices in several areas of law- which is so helpful to his clients. He also practices throughout Wyoming, which I thought was impressive. I would highly recommend him to any of friends or family that needed legal re...presentation. He is friendly, dedicated and smart- all the things you want in an attorney.

Excellent lawyer at a more than fair price, and a great guy!

I haven't (luckily) had too many run-ins with law enforcement, but when I did, as an out of town traveler in WY, I was terrified. It was a product of unfortunate circumstance, and I didn't know where to turn and what to do. I feared that if I contracted a lawyer, (s)he'd take an arm and a leg and ...leave me to still pay heavy court fines without any result. But I also realized that I needed one, and after a few weeks of deep research, I landed on Ryan Wright. Initially, his education and reviews sold me on the firm, but from the beginning it was clear to me that I had made an excellent decision for one of the most stressful moments in my life. Ryan, from the get go, was intelligent, a keen listener, and shrewd in his approach. He has an excellent understanding of the law as well as intuition for nuance, and – most importantly – goes wayyyy above and beyond to ensure that his clients have the best deal possible. He did that for me than anyone I've ever hired, at a very fair (and even slightly below market) price. In the end, I got a pocket deferral, which to laypeople (such as myself) is the equivalent of the holy grail in court results – it happens very, very rarely. Don’t get me wrong – Ryan never guaranteed that result (he couldn’t – no lawyer can – due to the element of chance) but I have no doubt in my mind that he did every single thing in his power to make that happen. If you’re debating whether Ryan is a sound choice – I hope this review puts your mind at ease. I’d choose him as my lawyer 10/10 times, and I am by nature someone cautious and slow to build trust with. Thank you Ryan, for everything :) Happy holidays to you, your family, and the Wright Law Firm family!

Mr. Wright

Mr. Wright and I have had cases against each other for several years. He is always professional, prompt, and amenable. Though we may not have agreed on appropriate dispositions for our cases, I could always count on Mr. Wright to answer my phone call and discuss cases with professionalism and respe...ct. I appreciate working with him. He is knowledgeable, hard working, and has a firm grasp on the issues that he is presented with. H

Integrity, honesty and hard working

Ryan was one of my most trusted deputies during my term as District Attorney. He consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, deep understanding of Wyoming law, and was honest nearly to a fault. I could always rely on Ryan to give me sage advice and sound counseling beyond his years. Si...nce leaving the DA's office, I have referred personal friends to Ryan, and would seek him out myself if ever there were a need.
