Excellence and Integrity

Mr. Ryan Fender proved himself to be well recommended by a friend. We had been looking for a good lawyer to prepare a trust for us. Over the years, we had attended several classes and seminars about trusts, both from attorneys and at universities, so we had a pretty good idea of what we needed, and... what we did not need. Ryan met our expectations. His expertise in the area is outstanding. And his integrity, follow-through on details and ability to listen carefully, answer both small and large questions are excellent. Beyond that, however, was the friendliness and capacity to hear our concerns for our family’s inheritance. We highly recommend him to anyone.

Ryan Fender Trust Attorney

My husband and I recently hired to Ryan to review and ultimately update our trust and wills. Ryan was thorough, organized and extremely helpful. Ryan listened carefully and maintained contact throughout the process. He was flexible and accommodating of our situation - my husband is extremely ill. Rya...n took the time to make sure we both understood all aspects of our final trust and the related documents. I have already recommended Ryan to family.

One of the rare few

I read quite a few reviews before calling Mr. Fender. I chose him because of his reported genuine concern for the well being of his clients. Any successful attorney has to understand the intricacies of their profession and know how to win a verdict, but not all of them are caring and compassionate, a...nd for me personally, that makes the difference between a good rapport and a great one! At the very onset of our conversation, I admitted I was doubtful I had a case or at best, a weak one , but before I threw in the towel, I wanted to be assured I had no legal rights to contest a trust. Knowing he wasn’t going to earn a dime, he could have politely apologized there was nothing he could do and said goodbye ( blow me off as we say). Instead he talked with me for half an hour, respectfully and graciously answering every one of my questions by explaining the law pertinent to my particular situation. Although our interaction was brief, I was very impressed with Mr Fender and endorse the validity of the great reviews I read from others who have done business with him . He knows the law and he knows how to treat people with dignity.
