General Counsel, CWE Inc.

Our company retained Ryan’s virtual general counsel services over three years ago and we’ve been impressed with his work in a variety of areas. His representation has helped us significantly reduce our outside legal costs with the larger downtown firms.

Business Case

We had an issue regarding our business that we sold out back on 2009 and the buyer after a year didn't want to pay us anything we contacted Ryan and he helped us to get most of our money back. He is the best.

Knowledge, trust and confidence to help us expand

Our small business grew quickly over the past year requiring us to grow our team. We were interested in an employment attorney who could relate with small business owners and had reasonable rates. Someone knowledgable, efficient and to the point. Upon recommendation from our business attorney, we ret...ained Ryan for our employment needs. Ryan recently handled an employment issue for us. Throughout Ryan's representation of our company he listened to each officer's concerns, provided excellent legal and practical advise and helped resolve matters quickly. We will continue to turn to Ryan for our employment needs and recommend you do the same.

I met Paul through a friend as I needed some help starting my small business. I had researched other attorneys but found Paul the most reasonable in terms of cost. He was very knowledgeable in helping me obtain the neccessary licenses and permits for my business. I like that he was open and honest if... he could not answer my questions. If there were questions he could answer, he would research it for me. I would and have recommend Paul to others in a heartbeat!
