Getting over the hump

Ryan is Fantastic! Super efficient and smart guy, answers emails and calls during weekends. He helped us launch our company on the Circle Up platform and helped us raise investment with a SAFE agreement. He is a great counsel to have on your team! P.s. we are a camel milk company

Ryan helped us with our very specific needs and provided excellent service. He is very professional, responsive and answered all of our questions patiently and clearly. He is now our first source for any legal questions.

Make great process

Actually, It was my first time to start a business in US and Ryan helped me a lot and involved me in a process very well from scratch. I suggest him to all first time founders in US to set up a company.

LLC Agreement

Ryan assisted me in making edits to an LLC agreement and was quite informed with regard to all parameters of the functionality of the agreement. Ryan provided additional terms and language that further protected my investment. I would recommend Ryan for any contractual services.

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.
