Great attorney

Ryan assisted and supported me through a complex maze of State bureaucracy! He is knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. His rates are more than reasonable! And he's ethical in his practice. His assistant is equally hard-working, often responding to my emails at 6AM! I cannot say enou...gh positive things about his work and his office! You will not be disappointed!

great legal representation

I was anxious about needing to contact an attorney after suffering an injury because I had never done so before. Now I can say that I'm incredibly happy that I came across Ryan and his team. I highly recommend Ryan Sutherland. My concerns regarding the entire procedure were eased by Ryan and the rest... of his team. Excellent professionalism and customer service, without a doubt. Ryan is a great lawyer. He is very detailed and knowledgeable of the law, and he always keeps you updated about your case and patiently listens to all of your questions and concerns. Knowing that I was being represented by someone who would unquestionably fight for you until the case is won gave me such comfort. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about helping his clients.

Outstanding and Ethical

I am a physician with work injury and was extremely hesitant to hire an attorney. I made a series of mistakes including self selected a QME physician who refuted the findings of three other physicians (one being a respected orthopedist) and told me my injury was not work related. My case was free... falling off a cliff since a QME physician had made an unfavorable decision. No good lawyer wanted to tackle it. Fortunately, Ryan did an amazing job and saved my case. More importantly, he helped me connect with a trustworthy physician to maximize my recovery. He is an outstanding lawyer with integrity. Above all, an ethical person. I waited until my case was completed before writing this review to give an honest assessment…3 years. I am grateful to Ryan and would recommend him without hesitation.

Ryan is a stellar attorney

If you’re looking for a Workers’ Compensation Attorney, Ryan is the best there is. Ryan is professional, honest, compassionate, trustworthy, approachable, and brilliant. He is highly educated and in the prime of his career. He was very supportive during every step of my case. When I had questions, he... had all the answers and was easy to communicate with via email. I highly recommend him and am deeply grateful for his services.
