Honest, Relentless, Hard-working, Gives you his full attention

Our group hired Ryan when a government organization near our homes announced a project that had not gone through the proper CEQA and Coastal Development Permit environmental reviews. Ryan succeeded in preserving the public's right to be heard and in getting the organization to conform to the laws to... which they should have conformed all along. The briefs, declarations and letters he wrote on our behalf were strong and thorough. Throughout the process, Ryan was always accessible, responsive, professional and fair in his billings. He was also very understanding of our lack of knowledge of the complicated CEQA and coastal laws and processes and he was always patient in explaining them to us. If we ever have another need for an environmental, land use or government agency attorney, we will call Ryan Moroney immediately.

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.
