Easy Going and Informative

I contacted several offices regarding a trust set up. Ryan's timely response, easy-going personality (No car salesman pitch attitude), and thoroughly informative consultation made him the clear choice. During these uncertain times, I want to be certain of my estate plan and what will happen to my ass...ets. He offered to consult virtually via Zoom, or in person due to my concerns over COVID. I felt that he took my affairs seriously and wanted to protect me and my family in any way he could. Highly Recommend Ryan for any areas of Estate Planning, Trust Administration, and Probate. Thank You Ryan!

Very Knowledgeable

Mr. Carrigan understands the my line of work, which made it easier to explain what the concerns regarding my case. He listened to what I had to say, and offered several different options I could do to pursue my case, if I should chose. We are able to agree on a course of action and I hired him.

Superior Legal Services

We strongly recommend using the superior legal services of Attorney, Ryan Carrigan. He handled our mom’s Conservatorship case in a very impressive manner. Mr. Carrigan and his paralegal Shannon were an amazing team. They filed all the necessary Conservatorship documents in the San Bernardino Court..., which were a hugh stack of documents. San Bernardino court representatives are literally sticklers with each document that is filed in the probate court. Mr. Carrigan and Shannon did such an amazing job in preparing the Conservatorship documents that the entire package was accepted without complications. On the day of the hearing, Mr. Carrigan arrived very early and even had prepared other documents in the event that the judge requested them, which he did not, but Mr. Carrigan was prepared. Now, that is high quality legal service. The judge approved our Conservatorship filing at the very first hearing. That is super awesome work!! Besides their superior service, we especially appreciated that they both were very personable, patient and responsive to our questions. They gave us peace of mind knowing that our case is in great hands. We are very grateful to Mr. Carrigan and his paralegal, Shannon, and we highly recommend their superior quality legal services. We have recommended Mr. Carrigan to our friends and other family members.

Happy first timer

Went to Ryan for the first time and OMG! This was an amazing experience. I actually got to talk to him, rather than a receptionist or legal helper. He seemed to know what he was talking about and gave me peace of mind I haven't had in a while. I now feel like "everything is going to be ok". I'm HAPPY... and I am hiring him.

Excellent and Helpful

Ryan was key to my husband and I being able to close escrow on our home following a bk glitch from years before. His outside the box thinking, knowledge of how to navigate the banking system and understanding of real estate saved the day for us. He was extremely helpful, and translated the "legalese"... so that my husband and I could clearly understand what was going on. Our end result is best described as "Happily ever after."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
