Consummate Proffesional
Ryan was already highly recommended from a friend who works in the law sector. Ryan and his team were easily accessible during the whole process, ( holidays and after hours) After a short evaluation of the case, Ryan and the team developed a game plan, and executed on that plan with better than expected results. The only reason I gave a 5 star rating for Witt Law is, because they didn't give an option for 6!

World Class Attorney serving your local community.
Before selecting an attorney for my case, I had a list of qualifications I was looking for. At the top of that list was being punctual in communication and having a general knowledge/experience of the geographical area and the people in it. In less than three correspondences with Mr Witt, my mind was made up. There was no question or competition among any of my other options. It was clear Mr Witt was not only local, but had outstanding relationships with and enormous respect from his peers, both inside and outside the courthouse. Mr. Witt not only out-performed my initial expectations, but continued to provide quality advice and meaningful direction to me, my friends and family. Not once was I left out of the loop, not knowing what was happening with my case or left behind for his "bigger & more important" clients, something I had experienced in the past. Mr. Witt and his assistant put me at ease, knowing they were just a few moments and a text away. They were quick, clear and correct in their responses to my questions, and with the direction that followed. Mr. Witt is a world class attorney to whom I can give my highest recommendation. I cannot thank him enough.

I highly suggest hiring Ryan Witt as your lawyer.
I highly suggest contacting Ryan Witt when you are in need of a lawyer! I was lucky enough to get in contact with him and his staff. He was transparent with the information that needed to get filled out and the things I needed to get done in order to be compliant. Ryan and his staff were timely and understanding of my situation. It is not always easy to trust a lawyer and Ryan Witt made the process so much less stressful. I highly recommend Ryan and his staff.

Call him!
I was searching for a lawyer just like you I called a few but when I talked to Ryan Witt it was different, like he was already engaged in my case within seconds. I actually started feeling better before we even talked about money and ended up surprised at how fair he was with my price. I absolutely destroyed his phone with calls and texts and he always answered or responded, was never less than kind and respectful. In the court room filled with lawyers I felt good, it felt like I had the best representing me and everyone knew it.

Amazing work
Ryan helped me out in not one but two cases. Any time I had a question he was quick to answer or find the answer. Both cases were a success because of the hard work and dedication that he puts into each and every single one of his clients’ cases. Thank you for all your help Ryan

Case Dismissed!
Absolutely thrilled. My case was a mess I've been in Alaska since 2019 and did not realize I had an FTA warrent for Driving while liscence suspended in Kitsap District, the court told me I had to come back to Washington amid the pandemi, leave my job, and turn myself in. Called Witt, asked if there was anything I could do. he said he could prolly quash the warrent but I would still be in the system for a while and he would help me get out. well long story short he went to court for me and got them to throw the case out completely! saved me a fortune in fines, flights, time away from work, ect. I can honestly say as my first experience paying out of pocket for a lawyer if I ever need legal help again I'm calling Witt. 5 stars are not enough.

Amazing, polite, and efficient
Ryan helped me with my 2nd DUI case, the first one took place in a different county. Ryan went over what I should expect from this case and the probation violation from the 1st DUI. Although Ryan was not representing me for the probation violation, he provided amazing consult and pointed me in the right direction. He even reached out to my other attorney to keep them updated on our plan. I felt at every turn he had my interests in mind and listened to what I had to say. If they were ever in this situation, I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.
