Ryan Michael 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.!

Ryan was an enormous help in a matter concerning a social hosting charge against my daughter. He very clearly explained the law, the possible consequences and what we could expect at the hearing. He was prompt, thorough, friendly, and really helped relieve a lot of the stress we were feeling. I ...highly recommend Ryan to anyone facing a juvenile court issue.

My wife and I had a unique situation in the neighborhood. Two young girls who we had grown to adore were eventually removed from the custody of their father by CPS due to substance abuse issues and the resulting neglect/abuse. Their mom was incarcerated at the time. The daily life of these two bea...utiful children was terrifying. We contacted CPS to see if we could help. Several weeks later the girls were living with us as part of the foster system. After 8-10 months of watching CPS try to reunify the girls with their father while all the while he was relapsing repeatedly we contacted Ryan. The father had come against us and most importantly was making the girls terribly uncomfortable on the phone and during the CPS required visitation. We were severely frustrated with the system which seems to favor abusers over children and we feared that the girls would be required to go back to live with their father against their will. From the beginning Ryan was extremely diligent in gathering information. He stayed on us for a very detailed chronology and also obtained a devastating file of police reports on the mother. He made a solid case and was in touch constantly with Minors Counsel and CPS. First step, Ryan argued for and won de facto parent status for us. This gave us the right to be represented, cross examine witnesses in the trials to come, etc. After many hearings and delays due to lies from each of the parents, at 18 months the judge turned things in our favor by terminating both parents right to reunify. And 8 months later back in November 2013 parental rights were terminated. Pending the parents appeal the girls are all but free to be adopted into our family now. It was clear that Ryan believed in our case from the beginning. His communication skills are at the highest level. He is very well respected by CPS, Minors Counsel and the adoption case workers. Each time he addressed the judge he spoke with authority, absolute knowledge of the law and persuasiveness based on the best interest of the girls. His line of questioning was devastating for the birth parents during testimony at the 18 month trial. We highly recommend Ryan McGlinn for any similar case.

Ryan McGlinn was highly recommended by two different lawyers when I was clueless of how to protect myself and my child and fight the wrong accusation claimed by the CPS. Ryan had me well prepared throughout the entire legal battle against the CPS. Not only he helped me to have my child back from the... foster care in two days, he also won the case even though my chance of winning was 50/50. If you want someone honest, trustworthy to fight for you, you should definitely contact Ryan. Ryan knew the family court in CV very well and explained how and what I should do whenever I wasn't sure what to expect. He was very responsive to e-mails and phone calls even on weekends. He was also every reasonable with his rates, and I felt blessed to have him defend me in the midst of the emotional roller coaster that seemed to never end until the judge dismissed the case. It is one thing to be innocent, but it surely is a different matter to have a good defense attorney like Ryan McGlinn to fight for you and your child.

Ryan McGlinn was recommended to me by a well know law firm in Los Angeles to handle my domestic abuse case. I honestly don't know what I would have done without Mr. McGlinn. I filed for divorce from my husband of only a year and ten months and was moving out when suddenly and unknowingly he accused ...me of hitting him, which was a false statement. He filed a police report and a temporary restraining order and I was served by a Sheriff at my new home. It was the scariest thing I have ever encountered in my whole life. I called Ryan McGlinn late on a Friday evening and he answered the phone himself as he was working late. From that point on, he worked tirelessly on my case for a whole month. He was able to go before the judge himself and was granted a temporary restraining order on my behalf against my husband. I was working and unable to go to court myself. Mr. McGlinn was very compassionate and at the same time, very competent. He did not make me feel bad about any question I asked him. When I emailed or called him, he was very prompt in getting back to me. I never had to wait long for any answers, which is very important when experiencing anxiety like I was at this time. He knew the law very well and had experience in handling domestic abuse cases. His writing skills are excellent and accurately expressed. He did not judge me in any way and answered my many questions very professionally. He even worked on a Saturday to accomodate my schedule. My case was settled in court in a very nonthreatening way. Ryan knows how to talk to the judge and it is obvious he has a lot of experience in the courtroom. I am so grateful that this restraining order is not on my permanent record,as justice was served. I would recommend Ryan McGlinn for any and all cases he specializes in.
