Ryan Michael Heron

I’ve been an attorney for 20 years and know an attorney can be his or her own worst client. So when I had a minor business dispute with a vendor, I hired Ryan to handle it. it was settled in a few days on more favorable terms than I’d authorized. Great job, for a fee that was more than reasonable. I’...d recommend Ryan to anyone.

My family came to Ryan with a fairly uncommon problem. We needed his help transferring the guardianship of an adult from one state to another and also from one co-guardian to a new co-guardian. Sounds simple right? Ryan does not specialize in this type of law (I don't think many do), but he didn't ba...t an eye. We hired Ryan, and he was able to find out everything he needed to make our complex request He filed everything in a timely manner to get us in front of a judge and to get our matter handled. His prices were so reasonable, we felt compelled to give him a bonus for his stellar performance. I would choose him a thousand times.

I was referred to Ryan by a friend of the family who said that he was extremely hard-working, diligent, and cared about his clients. In the mere months it took for Ryan to handle my son’s extremely complicated criminal matters, he performed directly in-line with what I expected given his reputation.... Ryan visited my son in Jail on a weekly basis until he completed the plea negotiations and finalized all of the cases my son had pending against him. On a few occasions, he even made deposits into my son’s commissary account! In total, my son had 4 open cases against him and was looking at a total of over 40 years in prison if he was found guilty of the crimes he was accused of. Now, I will not sit here and say that my son is a saint, he has made mistakes, but none that should have cost him more than 40 years of his life! Ryan was quick to diagnose my son’s real underlying problem, his psychological disorder, which left untreated lead to his addiction to narcotics, and that lead him to commit crimes to support his addiction. Somehow, when it was all said and done, Ryan was able to make a deal with the District Attorney in which my son would only serve a maximum of 4 years before being transferred to a year-long in-patient drug addiction counseling and rehabilitation program, which was the most important thing my son needed in my opinion. Ryan worked for months on my Son’s case, and he kept me up to date the entire time. When the sentence was finally entered, and everything was finalized, I asked Ryan what I owed him and he told me that the retainer payments I made were enough to cover his fees, and that he felt I had been put through enough. This is not a lawyer like any other I have ever heard of…truly a unique and caring person. If you can get him to take your case, you are surely in great hands!

I hired Ryan Heron to have some POA documents drawn up for me in regards to my father. He was conveniently located right here in Athens, Ga! I can be a very inquisitive person with lots of questions, but he was able to answer every question and ease my mind. Not only was he kind, but also very unders...tanding and patient. I have seen Ryan outside of the office in passing and he is the same friendly face I met with today. His concern the entire time was making sure my dad's requests were met and that the upcoming inevitable circumstance moves along a little more smoothly. Thanks Ryan!!
