Real Estate Dispute

I engaged Ryan to assist with a real estate transaction dispute and I could not have been more disappointed. In my opinion, his lack of initiative and assertive work on my behalf jeopardized my ability to recover thousands of dollars of repair work and misrepresentation by the seller and real estate... agent involved in my home purchase. He never filed a claim with the seller's insurance (a general contractor who flipped the house), which meant that mediation couldn't proceed on the date scheduled since the seller had not even informed his insurer that there was a potential claim. He charged me over $14,000 for what was primarily administrative work and ultimately reimbursed me $4,000. He isn't worth the cost and I would look to another attorney and another firm for legal representation.

He Did A Horrible Job

If I could've given him no stars I would have. Ryan was hired by my niece for a custody battle she was going thru. After stating the case was "a slam dunk case" she ended up losing ALL custody, was ordered to pay child support and secure life insurance. The judgement has ripped my family apart and no...w we have to pay even MORE money to another attorney to appeal to even attempt to somehow get this reversed. Horrible, gutless, UNPREPARED and more concerned about getting back to his wife's fundraiser than concentrating on our case. He should've told us to bring the child with us and put a bow on her before we turned her over to the other side. That's how bad of a job he did. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, do not hire this incompetent man. I am going to blast this wherever I can.

Did nothing to help

He never once supported my positions, and encouraged me to take all of her offers. I went into court to solve some coparenting issues and ended up losing my joint custody. Steer clear, at least if you are a father.

Expert estate guidance

Ryan Hunt and his excellent staff of attorneys patiently and expertly guided my wife and myself through the complicated process of creating a revocable living trust involving creative works as well as investments and property, the transfer of assets into the trust, etc. We are grateful for Ryan's ex...pertise, and we highly recommend him and his associates.

Great help

He helped me with a long drawn out family situation. Kept me informed every step of the way. What I did not understand he explained it to me.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
