"Ryan is one of the sharpest criminal defense attorneys I know. I first worked with Ryan while I was a prosecutor and he was a public defender. We were opposing counsel, adversaries! Even in that situation, it was clear how Ryan would go the extra mile for his client's. Ryan genuinely cared about all his client's and was the utmost professional. I then had the privilege to work side by side with Ryan as a fellow colleague in the Anaheim City Attorney's Office. While working with Ryan, I would consult him on most of my cases, he has a brilliant brain. Ryan has the rare ability to take a complicated case and focus on the most essential issue(s). I have seen Ryan break a complex case down and simplify the legal and factual issues for a jury. Ryan also has people skills like no other, Ryan is authentic and funny! He absolutely has been the best co-worker I have had during my 16 years of practicing law. I am a better attorney because of Ryan. He has my utmost respect."

"I have known Ryan since the inception of his career and have always been highly impressed. Not only is Ryan a sharp trial lawyer and skilled negotiator, he is one of the best human beings in the business. If I listed all the times Ryan went the extra mile for clients working into the wee hours of the night overturning that last stone, the list would be insufferably long. There are many lawyers who are talented. Many lawyers are hard-working. Many lawyers care. Fortunately for Ryan, he is all three and more. As an added bonus, Ryan has worked in all of the Orange County courtrooms and leaves friends where ever he goes. Ryan is the total package and will work tirelessly for the best result. I highly endorse him."

"I highly endorse Ryan Williams. He is a highly intelligent and dilligent attorney. He brings to his practice a vast and varied experience in the criminal field as both a defense attorney and prosecutor. But perhaps his best quality is the compassion and committment he has for all of his clients. Simply put, if I needed to hire a criminal defense attorney to get the job done right, Ryan Williams would be my first call."

He is not just a skilled criminal defense attorney, but a kind and compassionate person. I found him to be unfailingly ethical in all of his dealings. Anyone who chooses Ryan to represent them will have an honest attorney that can deftly handle any case, and who treats them like a human being. I wholeheartedly endorse this attorney."

"Ryan Williams is an excellent attorney who cares a great deal for his clients. When he was with the public defender's office, he would visit his in-custody clients more than any other attorney I worked with. He is knowledgeable on the law, articulate in court, and highly professional when dealing with his fellow attorneys, including opposing counsel. Anyone charged with a crime would be very fortunate to have Ryan as their lawyer."

Avvo Rating

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.
