Ryan has been a great help in our case. Great communication and information. He went above and beyond to help us understand how the process was going to work and as things came up, he kept us informed. We were confident through out that he was doing everything possible to help us settle our case appropriately.
I got a hold of Ryan as soon as I turned 18, because I wasn't getting much help with my case before that. I contacted him through a free consultation online and he got back to me right away. Ryan took my case into his hands and helped me through the whole process. I wasn't expecting things to go so fast and smooth, but Ryan definitely exceeded my expectations. I will be recommending him to anyone I can!

Our case took about 7 months to complete. During the entire time, Ryan kept us informed thoroughly, and was quick to respond. We felt he was patient, honest, caring and considerate to our needs. We were very pleased with the outcome and would recommend him to any friend or family 110%.
Thank you again Ryan!

God sent!
We talked to 3 lawyers before talking to Ryan and they all refused my case, because the police report for my car accident didn't accurately represent the accident. Ryan looked at our case and decided to help us when the person at fault decided to sue me. His hard work and commitment and most importantly compassion was shown during the whole process. If you are looking for a good honest attorney then Ryan is your guy.

Highly would recommend this lawyer to represent you
I got into a car accident at a young age, and heard about Ryan from a family friend, Ryan was super professional and easy to talk to about what was going on, and he helped me through every step and explained things very well. He made sure I was always in the loop of things and had very good communication with me. He made sure I was protected legally and that I got justice for my injuries. Hopefully I don’t have another car accident, but if I do, I’ll be hiring Ryan.

Car Accident
Ryan was very helpful with our accident. He took care of everything while we raised our newborn and got us our settlement we deserved and didn't settle with the first offer. Very communicative and understanding. I would definitely recommend him :)

Life saver
I was involved rear ended accident back in 2017. Right after it happened, I had lower back pain injury. It was the first time I needed to claim and my insurance company didn’t want to pay many of bills within PIP limit. I hired an attorney in Bellevue but after 4 month, never got to talk directly and when I did he dropped the case! I hired female lawyer in Edmonds, but she really didn’t seem willing to work for it ( her assistant was good) so there was no progress.
Then I found Mr. Nute who answers the phone himself. He listen to my Japanglish carefully, so I could feel comfortable. As soon as I hired him, he worked on a case right away. Answering any emails, calls constantly which make me trust completely unlike other lawyers I have seen.
I didn’t think I could recover as much as I hoped, since some said it was waste of his time. However Mr. Nute made it happen!
He is so nice kind person other than work as well.

He helped deal with insurance agencies when they started to drag their feet and play games. He was able to close to a (relatively) quick settlement.

Amazing Assistance
After trying to handle my personal injury claim after an auto accident I was getting nowhere at all by myself with the insurance company of the at fault party. I was referred to Ryan by a coworker that had been in a similar situation who had Ryan's assistance in resolving everything. After hiring Ryan and some minor preliminary legwork for the paperwork side of things he took over and handled everything! I was given constant updates and if there was ever a question he was quick to answer any and all that may have come up. I will recommend him to anyone I know that may find themselves in a situation like that!

Compassioante, Honest Lawyer!!
During one of the hardest times in my life I was lucky enough to be blessed with Ryan’s counsel. He not only took my case but worked with my insurance company to come to a settlement which took well over a year and a half to complete. He truly took the time to ask me what I wanted to do as well as provide me with my options and his guidance. He was always honest with me about the situation and what the outcome could be. He responded promptly to any questions I had or that the other attorneys presented and always went above and beyond. He took away all my anxiety regarding the situation which not only helped with my piece of mind but everyday life. I never thought that I would be in the situation I was as no one ever does. I do know that if Ryan was not there for me during this time that things could have turned out completely different. Ryan is a honest, determined, and compassionate Lawyer. I am incredibly grateful to have had his help with my situation.

One of the BEST!
Ryan is an exceptional lawyer. Professional, thorough, patient, understanding are just a few words to describe the type of lawyer he is, and also the client service he provides. Ryan keeps you in the "know" about every aspect of your case so there's never any misunderstandings or surprises, and he strives to get you the best possible settlement you deserve. On a scale of 1 - 10, he most definitely exceeds a 10. I highly recommend. Thank you Ryan for your hardwork and patience.

Superb representation!
Ryan was delightful at every turn of my case. He communicated all aspects of my lawsuit clearly, timely and sincerely. Ryan was eager to get any issues that arose resolved quickly and to obtain the best outcome for me as possible. I was nervous about obtaining legal representation as it was my first time but Ryan made me feel very at ease during our first conversation. He's extremely knowledgeable and I will certainly look to him again if I need similar services.

Very knowledgeable, there for me the whole way.
I had quite the unusual case involving a sex toy that resulted in a vaginal injury. I went to 4 other lawyers that denied the case before going to Ryan and he did amazing. He kept me informed every step of way, did not make a decision without talking g to me and discussing it with me to make sure I understood exactly what the next step was going to be and if that was ok with me. Always made sure he had the correct information and because of the nature of the case was always professional and respectful. In the end we settled $35,000. He is an awesome negotiater.

A Lawyer You'll Love!
To say Ryan is an exceptional attorney is an understatement. He takes time with his clients to not only get to know the ins and outs of their case- but to get to know them too. He explains things each step of the way- keeping you the client fully informed as the case progresses. His communication is outstanding- emails are always responded to promptly and phone calls are more often than not answered by Ryan himself. He genuinely is concerned for- and respects- the people he represents...and will advocate for his clients ferociously. Ryan is definitely who you want on your case. His rates are very reasonable and you will know that you had the best representation with him on your side.

Amazing service! Even for the little guy.
Got hit by a drunk driver with no insurance and my insurance company immediately went on the offensive trying to force me in to one if their "preferred shops" to avoid totaling my car and insisting that there was nothing I could do about much of anything except sue the guy that hit me. Ryan stepped in and, my car was totaled, all of a sudden I was encouraged to seek medical attention and the depths if uninsured motorist coverage were brought to light. Now I'm even getting a settlement. The insurance companies will do everything they can to suit their best interests. Ryan is here for you.

Awesome!!!
Ryan Nute was the perfect attorney for me. Coming from an experience with another attorney that just seemed to not care about my time or well being, Ryan blew it out of the park. He listened to everything I had to say, worried about what I wanted and made sure to ALWAYS make time for me. Living out of state and not being able to actually meet the person taking care of you is scary; Ryan did everything in his power to make me feel confident and comfortable with every decision! Process all happened so quickly and therefor I am so grateful for him!

Severe Right Rotator Cuff Tear requiring surgery
Ryan Nute was very thorough in working on my case. It was not a cut and dry case but he worked hard and got me the settlement I deserved.
He was quick to obtain my medical records which was not an easy task considering all my medical problems. He quickly obtained a statement from a witness and found a great doctor, who specializes in shoulders and knee surgeries, to review my case and give an opinion. He made his time easily available for me and set up depositions and mediations that worked with my schedule. He was very composed at the mediation which helped me stay calm.
He was very professional and pleasant and he did win my case for me.
