very compassionate, and understanding

While explaining the situation with Ryan, I immediately noticed that he cared very much about the case and wanted to help in any way he could. He is straight forward and isn't just about getting a client like most lawyers that I have came across. My family is very thankful and grateful for the info...rmation that we have received from Mr. Mcglinn. I must say that there should be more lawyers like him. I highly recommend anyone to hire Mr. Mcglinn.

Follow up

I spoke with Ryan 2 months ago, a week after my son's misdemeanor charge. He gave me precise information of how to be prepared for juvenile court for a Minor in Possession charge. His calm and collected demeanor was confidence-inspiring. We had our day in court today. The outcome was almost exactly a...s he suggested it would probably be. Many kudos to Ryan for instilling peace of mind.

MIP Juvenile Court

I called Mr. Mcglinn on a Saturday and he returned my call the next day... on a Sunday evening! That alone was enough to impress me... very responsive and informative. He was calming with his tone of voice and word choice. He was communicative and inviting - keeping me abreast of his schedule and whe...n I could expect to hear from him. He gave information I could immediately put into action. I highly recommend calling Mr. Mcglinn, talking with him and note for yourself his abilities.

What's all the rave about?

I had a consultation with this lawyer. I applaud him for his honesty, but his knowledge of the juvenile dependency courts and how to navigate through them based on the truth and facts weren't good. He told me that I wasn't playing the game correctly, and that's why everyone was against me involved in... the court system. We're talking about the lives of my children and family, and to be told that I should treat our life as a game is indignant. I was contemplating hiring him because of his touted experience and father's experience in the juvenile courts, but when he told me that because all the players were against me, he didn't feel he could handle my case, I was disappointed. So, that's why I was looking into hiring an experienced attorney in juvenile court, not because it was a walk in the park. The court appointed attorney was doing that job just fine. That's why people invest their money into an attorney, because IT IS A FIGHT!!!!

Ryan M McGlinn

I was referred to Ryan via another Attorney. I left a message for Him about a very urgent juvenile custody legal manner. Being from Colorado I had spoken to several California Attorneys who were less than promising as well as pricey. He called me back within 10 minutes. I spent about 30 minutes with... him consulting my case. He was professional, honest and was very genuine about his questions and how he could assist me. Being from out of state he answered all my questions and provided legal advice. By the end of my conversation I felt that I was prepared for court even without him. He offered a very fair rate which I will glad to pay should I need him in the near future. I would highly recommend Ryan as most qualified attorney and asset to anyone who employs his talent.!
