Great lawyer

Ryan did a great job in getting my Dad's case dismissed. Ryan was very professional and kept us updated and explained every step throughout the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented criminal defense attorney in Northern California.

Excellent attorney!

Ryan Kocot was a great attorney and I'm glad I went with him. With so many attorneys out there, it's hard to know if you're making the right choice but in my case, I did. He's a great listener and communicator. He's very easy-going and friendly and will keep you in the loop of what's going on. Any t...ime I wondered about anything, I could send a text or call and he would immediately respond to me and answer any questions or concerns. He helped reduce and dismiss almost all charges. God forbid I need an attorney again anytime soon, but I'm keeping Ryan's number in my phone just in case! Give him a call. Trust me!

DUI case

From the very first time I called Ryan he was already advising/helping me on what to do with my case before I had even told him that I was going to choose him to defend me. This is my first encounter with the law and the whole thing was very daunting, he made me feel at ease the entire time. Not only... that but he made I feel as if I was his only client, very personal. I will say that if I know anyone who falls into some legal trouble I would without a doubt recommend him.

A miracle

I had my 2nd DUI and thought my life was over. My sister told me to hire a lawyer and found Ryan Kocot for me. Read good reviews and his clients weren't wrong about him. He was easy to talk to and very straight forward. He was able to cut half of the charges and fees I needed to pay. Would highly rec...ommend hiring him if you need a lawyer for criminal defense. Thank you so much again!!

"I have known Ryan for about one year and have had many opportunities to see him both in court and interacting with clients. He is both competent in court and comforting to his many clients. He is a quick study and isn't afraid to set a case for trial. If you are another attorney wondering whether to send him a criminal defense or DUI case referral, he'll make you look like a hero. If you are a potential client you'll be happy you called him."
