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.

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!

Ryan is one amazing lawyer! Not only is he professional, but also personable and really takes your feelings into account and doesn’t just see you as another case. Even though Ryan is based in Georgia, and I from New York, he still reached out to someone he knew here in NY to help me with my dispu...te. Other lawyers had brushed me off and didn’t want to waste their time, but Ryan went above and beyond to help me and was so prompt with communication and replies. When the case was finally resolved, and the sum of what I ended up getting was small, he said he wouldn’t be charging me for his time and considered his work pro bono. My case went on for months and there was lots of going back and forth, but not once did he ever hesitate in helping me and went up against big companies to make sure the wrong that was done to me was corrected. If another issue ever occurred and I needed help, without a doubt I would go straight to Ryan. If you want someone to help you who actually cares about you and doesn’t just see dollar signs, look no further because he is your guy!

Ryan is a very aggressive and dedicated lawyer! He makes himself available to you whenever you need. He bends over backwards to help his clients. He is representing me in one matter, I MENTIONED another issue, in less than 2 hours Ryan had it resolved. This was a matter I had spoken to 2 other attorn...eys about, they were more expensive (In one case, Ryan cost me 1/10th of what one attorney wanted to charge me. That attorney knew me and discounted his rate even at that!). This was a possible criminal matter and the others got in no hurry to deal with it. Ryan CRUSHED it in just a couple hours! How could you complain about that? I love his attitude, his motivation, his dedication, and his honesty! The most driven lawyer I have ever met and I have been in the legal field (Not as a lawyer) myself for over 10 years, so I know more than a few attorneys in Athens. If you want results, Ryan should be your attorney!

First time using Ryan,but he does a super job and takes care of all of the legal formalities. He also rewrote my tenant lease which I think is superb,If I ever need a attorney again I will definitely use him,also he makes you feel at ease not having to worry about anything. He has a great personality...,knows what he is doing, and I am glad someone told me about Ryan.
