Excellent Knowledge, Strategy, and Manner

I've spoken with four different attorneys about the details of my case. Ryan demonstrated an absolute mastery of the law and brought a depth of knowledge to the fine details of child support laws, rules, and administrative mechanics that was lacking in all of the others. He was well prepared for our ...call, and generous with his time. He was also quite creative in strategy and tactics. If you are in need of a family law attorney in Oregon, Ryan is an excellent choice.

Prepare your mind. You will now learn how to think.

I remain a persistent and dedicated parent. After 9 years of battling, my ex and I have nurtured a cooperative respect. But most importantly, my child knows me, trusts me, and talks to me. If you want these things, keep reading. I had a parenting plan that was being ignored by my ex, and I had no ...idea what to do about it. My first attorney stopped taking my calls, ghosted me when I needed help badly. I knew nothing about the processes of domestic relations cases. I hadn't seen my child in months. I was inconsolable. I was unhappy, confused, scared out of my gourd, and bulldozed. Ryan took my call. He advocated for me, off and on, for six years. Ryan quickly taught me that everything I thought I knew about family law was either wrong, or probably didn't matter. The most important thing Ryan taught me was how to think about my case. He taught me how to prepare for the unpredictable both emotionally, and pragmatically, in real time, even when it was ugly. Note: You're going to get more than you walked in with. Bring a pad of paper and a pen when you sit down with this guy, because you're going to need it.

Exceptional results! Thank you Ryan.

Ryan was able to negotiate a specific and detailed parenting plan in my case recently that has already significantly reduced the high conflict and parental alienation. Ryan was sensitive to my desires for follow-up and strategy sessions. Although we disagreed occasionally we worked well together and ...each of us took the others advice. Ryan was available to me for emergency situations, for example, he emailed me at 11pm to give me timely advice for the following morning. Ryan is a loving father and that makes him a great family law attorney in my opinion.

Review for Ryan Carty

Mr. Carty represented my interests during a 2.5 year legal process regarding child support, parenting time, and parenting skills. The outcome was not what I hoped for (wishful thinking) but WAS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED thanks to Mr. Carty. Ryan listened, offered sound legal advice & strategy, was p...rofessional, ethical, and thoroughly prepared for the numerous legal activities involved in the process. My perception was Mr. Carty was cognizant of the stress, strain, and emotional discord the process caused for myself and he professionally attempted to ease the pressure while maintaining high service standards, legal activities, and ethics. I would solidly recommend Mr. Carty to anyone facing legal domestic dispute issues. Legal services are expensive; I got my money's worth from Mr. Carty's counsel and services. I foresee further domestic dispute challenges for myself in the not-to-distant future. When such situations arise I will be contacting Mr. Carty for further assistance and services.

Ryan Carty is excellence!!

Ryan came highly recommended to me by a friend. He helped me with a child custody matter that went to court. I am very impressed with him, he ALWAYS kept me informed and like others have said "knew" what the other party was going to do. He took on an offensive approach and made things happen rather t...han waiting to see what would happen. In court, he shined. He became very theatrical and ran circles around the other party.
