Excellent Lawyer!

I was hurt in a car crash involving a very strange set of circumstances. I sustained a concussion and other injuries which affected my ability to work and other aspects of my life. The insurance company was being very difficult with me, so much so that they didn’t want to pay to repair my car or f...or a rental car. I knew I needed help so I contacted Ryan who was referred to me by someone in my family. Ryan returned my call immediately and to make things easier on me he drove out to meet me at place that was convenient. Once I hired him he immediately began working on my case. He was able to get the at fault party to accept full liability, pay for the full damage to my car and my rental car. As for my injuries he was also helpful in making sure that my treatment providers were paid and did not bother me with phone calls as I recovered. When it came to time to resolve my case Ryan knew exactly what to do and how to present the claim in the most effective way. I was able to obtain he maximum benefits under the at fault party’s insurance company. Ryan did a great job at every point in my case. I highly recommend you contact him if you’ve been involved in an accident.

Great Personal Injury Lawyer

I hired Ryan after I was hit by a car while walking in a crosswalk. Ryan was really easy to work with. He first answered my questions over the phone and then met up with me right by my work to answer the additional questions I had about his services. When I hired Ryan he immediately located an insura...nce policy that paid my bills as they came due. He worked with my treatment providers to make sure the bills were paid by the right policy. When I finished treatment Ryan called my doctor and figured out what type of future care I needed to manage my injury. He used this information to resolve my case for the maximum benefits under the at-fault party’s insurance policy. I was very happy with the results and how responsive Ryan was in answering my questions and making sure my bills were paid. I recommend you call Ryan if you’ve been in a collision. He’s great to work with.

Excellent Attorney

I was injured in a car crash in Everett when another car ran a red light and hit my car. My case was complicated because I had a dormant pre-existing condition that was exasperated by the collision. When I first contacted Ryan he was very easy to talk to and even came to meet me at my home since I ...wanted to avoid driving considering the wreck I was in. My treatment took a long time and involved several different doctors. Ryan would constantly check in during my treatment and help me located treatment providers in my area. Eventually I underwent a very helpful procedure which helped with my pain from the collision and the condition that was exasperated. When it was time to move forward with my case Ryan hired a specialized medical doctor to meet with me, go over my symptoms, treatments and ongoing injuries. The doctor wrote a report on my injuries which Ryan used to settle my case for an amount which I was happy with and likely much more than I would have known my case was worth. I worked with Ryan for three years and I appreciated his thoroughness, communication, listening and negotiation skills which I observed during this time. If you are in need of a personal injury attorney I highly recommend you contact him.

AMAZING!

I was in a car collision when I was 8 months pregnant. After the collision I didn’t want to worry about anything other than my health and the health of my child. Ryan was very easy to communicate with and freed up my time so I could treat and be with my family. When it came time to resolve my case... Ryan did a great job of settling the matter and obtaining an amount which was very favorable. At the end of this case Ryan also helped my resolve another case against an uninsured driver that happened years before the initial collision he helped me with. Even though more than three years had passed since this other collision Ryan was able to pursue my own insurance company for a claim on my behalf. It worked out great and now I am able to put both of these collisions behind me and focus on my career and family! Ryan’s great to work with and I recommend you contact him if you have been in a collision.

Amazing and super knowledgeable lawyer!

I was injured in a collision with a person that pulled out in front of me. The collision caused all sorts of injuries the majority of which was in my neck and shoulder. I saw a number of doctors and eventually saw a medical doctor that was able to pin point the injury to my neck. It was frustrati...ng going to doctors and not getting results, but Ryan was always helpful listening to my concerns and helping me come up with questions to ask the doctors so I could figure out the extent of my injury. When it came time to resolving the case, since Ryan new the value of my injury, he knew exactly what to do to present my case to the two different insurance companies that were involved. When Ryan worked on my case you could tell he was not just committed to it but committed to me and making sure all of my concerns were addressed. We resolved the case short of trial on great terms, and I know Ryan would have been ready to try the case if a reasonable settlement wasn’t presented. He’s an amazing lawyer and I suggest you call him if you’ve injured in a collision.
