I was charged with several Measure 11 adult charges while I was a minor. I researched the best attorneys in Portland, and Ryan was on top of that list. He had a great reputation and extensive experience. After talking to several attorneys, I decided to hire Ryan. He is honest, kind and brilliant. He ...was able to reverse my adult charges and sent my case back to the juvenile court. This was a very hard case, but he was able to use his extensive knowledge of the law to win my case. He gave me my life back!! I would highly recommend Ryan to my friends and Family.

I was charged with some serious class A felonies (DCS in a school zone) while going to school to be a nurse. I was in a panic, because I knew that if I was convicted, my career goals would be dashed. After dealing with a public defender for a couple weeks I quickly realized that I needed to hire a ...competent defense lawyer if I wanted to resolve my case in a favorable manner. Things were not looking good. After speaking with Ryan, as well as several lawyers in town, I noticed the difference was night and day. When I dropped his name after calling one local law office, they even told me "We call Ryan when WE need advice regarding DCS charges. If he wants to take your case and you can afford it, hire him" Ryan responded to calls, emails, and even text messages after hours and truly went out of his was to act swiftly and decisively. Ryan took time to consider my wishes and advised me of possible outcomes while being reasonable and frank. He treated me with respect and honesty. I was looking at prison time at first, but with Ryan's help, I was not only able to avoid prison time but also get this felony removed from my record completely. When your life is on the line, and you want to hire the BEST, Ryan Scott is your guy! I can not express my gratitude enough for his services.

I write this review during the beginning of my case and totally unsure of what the outcome will be. Regardless, I know Ryan Scott will work as hard as he can to defend me in this case. Without receiving a penny, he met with me twice, spent time emailing and talking on the phone, retrieved legal docum...ents and notified me of a new warrant! He has gone above and beyond to help me understand the legal process and prepare for the next step. I cannot stress enough how relieving it is to know I have him backing me during this confusing and scary time. Ryan clearly devotes all his time and energy to his clients and has shown me that countless times in our short relationship. I look forward to working with him on this case and HIGHLY urge anyone considering, DO IT! You won't regret it. He is extremely affordable and doesn't hide things in fine print like other lawyers I have hired. He set one amount, was very straight forward and flexible on when I could pay, and that was that. I have 100% faith he will do everything he can to help. He is very knowledgeable and I am lucky to have him representing me! Thanks so much Ryan. ***This was copy and pasted from a review I left on another site MONTHS ago. I am adding it here with a resolution as well because truly, Ryan saved my life. THE CASE WAS DISMISSED! I couldn't have done it without him. Ryan is such a down to earth, quick thinker who just simply knows his stuff and is willing to fight till the end for any client. 10/10 I would highly recommend, a million times over. Ryan is someone you definitely want on your team.
