Smart and Courageous

We approached Ryan in 2012 to examine a complicated pension case going back many decades. Ryan had no background in pension or ERISA law but quickly educated himself and became an expert. Ryan went on to meticulously lay out the case of a former Police officer and navigate a complex process working... with the board, legal council and other constituents. Ryan was successful in securing a settlement and ensuring financial security for this former officer. A lesson I learned working with Ryan is that intelligence, perseverance and courage is more important than "experience" or supposed "expertise" on a topic. Many attorneys promote years of experience or in-depth knowledge in a specific area, but Ryan has the intellectual curiosity to study and learn many different disciplines. He is also fiercely loyal to his clients. Many times during the often emotional process, Ryan was the voice of clam and a steady hand. He was logical and balanced in his views and wise in his recommendations and judgment. Ryan's work really did improve the client's life and we cannot recommend him more highly.

A trusted leader

Ryan Connolly is a superb attorney. I have worked with him regularly for over five years, and find him to be both knowledgeable of the intricacies of the law and easy to deal with. I know him to be well versed in issues pertaining to the supplement industry and sports anti-doping efforts, and he is r...ightly considered a leader in these fields. Ryan is savvy, aboveboard and respected by all those who deal with him.

Hired Mr. Connolly for an IP infringement case

My company was involved in an IP case in which 2 previous lawyers were grossly incompetent in handling. I transferred my representation to Mr. Connolly and could not have been happier with the results. Not only was he able to expertly assess the case and provide sound legal advice but his correspon...dence with the opposing legal team resulted in clearing my company of all IP claims and liability. I found Mr. Connolly to be well versed on many legal issues, but most importantly he was great at putting things in layman's terms, which made communication with him very easy. I would not hesitate for a second to hire Mr Connolly again for any future legal matters. One last thing I will say is, you know how when you meet someone that is just on another level of smart and you are just blown away by their intellectual capacity? Well that is how I felt when I met Mr. Connolly. Right away I knew I had made the right choice in hiring Mr. Connolly as my legal counsel. He is someone you definitely want on your team.

Personal Experiences with Ryan Connolly, Esq.

Mr. Connolly has worked on several cases with me and for me between 2008 and now. Each case were unique and handled with great care and expertise. The first case was a contractor's double billing of one of my clients. Mr. Connolly took care of the legal issues in front of an arbitration panel. Our ...client got a seize-able refund. Every step of the process my client and I were kept informed. My firm had for several years used an internet provider who came highly recommended to us. However, we had to move to a new office the relations ship with the provider fell apart real fast. We had no contract, gave amble notice to move our DLS line and found ourselves with no internet connection the day before the move. Our provider threatened us when we switch to another internet provider, kept billing us and Mr. Connolly was called upon to take care of this problem. A great letter from Mr. Connolly ended the harassment. We have recommended Mr. Connolly to several clients and business associates. Everybody have expressed satisfaction with Connolly's work, responsiveness, knowledge, and an ability to get cases closed.

Great Lawyer. Highly recommended.

Ryan is one of those all too rare lawyers that will restore your faith in the profession. I hired Ryan after having multiple issues with my previous lawyer. Not only did Ryan give far superior legal advice than my first lawyer, he was very responsive, and he was very fair, reasonable and timely wi...th his billing. The bottom line is he provided great service at a fair price. If I ever get in another legal dispute such as this, I would absolutely hire him again.
