Ryan Michael Borges

I hired Ryan back in December to conduct discovery and finish out the rest of my divorce. E-mails would take several days to get a response, if they even got one at all, and he refused to submit formal discovery requests until 6 months of pestering him to do so. He only made a few informal requests w...hich cannot be compelled and essentially are meaningless and caused a huge setback. The unwillingness to conduct discovery also damaged my case by causing the arguments to be disposed from waiting so long, so some of the discovery I was seeking can no longer be sought. In the six months that I had him as counsel, he accomplished very little of anything at all. In particular, I needed him to get a written temporary order signed (the temporary order was already agreed on, it only needed to be drafted at that point) by the court and while he did get an order in, the language is incorrect and was not signed by the judge, so no enforceable order exists in my case now 7 months after I had retained him. In addition, he would repeatedly pressure me to agree to a settlement when discovery had not been completed and became very frustrated when I refused to. The breaking point was when he wanted another $2,500 deposit to finish out the divorce (at that point discovery STILL wasn't even started), even though he had taken my case on a flat rate with full knowledge that I had intended to take it to trial when we agreed on a fee. I was willing to renegotiate our fee, but not another $2,500 considering little had actually been done. I ended up going back to my previous attorneys since their flat rate was the same price. Really, I should have stuck with them in the first place and saved myself the $2,500 I paid Ryan, since they would have handled everything up to this point and moving forward. I can't recommend Ryan at all for family law cases and recommend that you to consider other options.

I came to Ryan when I was beginning to search for a new job. I had been charged with a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charge while I was in college and I didn't want it to be an issue anymore. Ryan was able to get to get my verdict set aside in a quick and timely manner. He kept me up to date with my... case at all times and was quick to contact me if anymore forms needed to be signed. Ryan's prices were more than fare and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

I had Ryan represent me in the custody case regarding my son. He was great! I the mother was a very difficult person to deal with and I am sure it would not have gone as well if I didn't have him represent me. He would constantly keep me updated with emails so I could save everything for my recor...ds and kept in touch with the court for me so I didn't have to take time out of my schedule to do it myself. He was always available for me when I needed him and he was upfront with all the facts and my options I had available to me which was great since I didn't know what options I even had before talking with him.

I hired Ryan about 40 days ago to handle a purge warrant for me missing a court date my ex or the courts did not tell me about. In the beginning he paid full attention to my issue, told me exactly what I needed to do, exactly what is the proper proticol for this situation was and exactly what he woul...d do and how much it was going to cost me. Having never gone through anything like this before I had a ton of questions! He answered every single email I sent quickly. Even though I'm sure he had other cases, he made me fill like I was his most important client. Everything we talked about stayed between us. I believe he really busted his tail for me. He is a good guy. His office allowed me to make payments which is really great because I am just now getting back to work after the bad economy and my wife just being laid off of hers. I would absolutely recommend Ryan Borges and The Baker Law Group for your family law needs. One more good note about him, he even came in on a holiday to work on my case. Class act and solid lawyer that knows his business! Thank you Ryan.
