Treats You Like Family

I found myself in a bit of a pickle after getting a DUI with my child in the car. I was referred to Ryan by my previous attorney who was unable to take my case due to having back surgery. From the moment I met Ryan he was amazing. During my consultation I explained what happened and was only driving... due to a medical emergency with my wife. Right from the get go, he was not only empathetic but also very understanding of my situation. He advised of me things I should do to try and help my case so the DA would be willing to work with us. At arraignment he immediately got one of my charges down to a misdemeanor. Throughout the process both Ryan and Scott (his office manager) were not only caring, f but also treated me as if I was part of the family. From the beginning, Ryan was very upfront with me and never sugarcoated anything, which I really appreciated (most attorneys tell you what you want to hear). Needless to say, I was looking at 210 days for my charges with no alternatives and somehow through hard work and persistence he was able to get it down to 70 days with alternatives allowed. My family and I are forever indebted to Ryan and his staff and I would fully recommend them if you ever fine yourself in trouble. Thank you so much Ryan and Scott, we will never forget how amazing you guys are!!!

Ryan Wilber is a class act!

I found myself in need of legal services after getting pulled over for a DUI. I knew I would need to obtain counsel since my numbers were close to and below the legal limit. My case was unique in that regard and I'm glad I sought his services. Ryan Wilber was recommended to me by an attorney frie...nd whom specializes in another discipline. Other attorneys were also recommended to me and I was encouraged to contact them in order to find the best fit for me. I contacted Ryan first. I immediately got a great vibe from him and felt that he really cared about my case. He took time out of his family vacation (out of the country) to speak with me. He didn't try and pass the buck, but really listened to and cared about what I said. That care is something that didn't expire after the first conversation either, it carried through the duration of my case. I should have retained his counsel at that point but he referred me to some other attorneys and encouraged me to call around until I found someone I felt comfortable with. Everyone I spoke to referred me back to Ryan, this is when I knew he would be my guy. He took what was a scary and unknown situation for me put me to ease. He, along with his office manager Scott, took care of everything for me; paperwork, court appearances, phone calls, letters, you name it. At times when Ryan was not available, Scott stepped in to help me out. Scott himself is a very knowledgeable and diligent individual who can be trusted and relied upon. Together they exceeded my expectations and ultimately got a most favorable outcome to my case. There aren't enough good things to say about Wilber Law Offices. Seeking the expertise of Ryan was by far the best thing I could have done. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of counsel. Should I ever be in need of legal services again, he will be my first call.
