Ryan Akio English

Ryan is an amazing attorney. Not only did he get us the best deal, but he wasn’t pushy about what he thought was best. He always made sure to go with what we wanted but still give his best opinion. He always had the best interest at heart starting from day 1. All of his work and communication through the process showed his dedication to us and to getting us the best possible outcome with all of the facts present. Even though the prosecutor was painstakingly taking their time with information Ryan always let it be known what we were waiting on. I reached out to at least 4 others before finding Ryan and I am forever grateful I did. I can’t thank him enough for what he’s done for my family. Here is your sign to stop looking and choose this man to defend you!

I had no help from the court appointed attorney with my case and was looking at jail time for a crime I was accused of and Ryan English from sound law was able to get my case dismissed. Thanks to his work I can rest easy and keep my american freedom.

Absolute professional who fights to give his clients the best possible outcome.

Very intelligent lawyer who brought peace and assurance to my case. I highly highly recommend him. He represented me wonderfully in court. For being in the situation I was in, he definitely took all the weight from my shoulders. Give him a call, you won’t regret it!!

Ryan was with me from the start. He was able to empathize with my situation and immediately formulated a plan for defense. He always kept it real with me and didn't sugarcoat anything, which I respected. He is going to work for you and his rate is incredibly reasonable; he is clearly not out there trying to rob people of their money. Ryan was there to bat for me every step of the way. He's a straight shooter. He's the guy that you want on your side.

I was facing a felony and 2 misdemeanors. I contacted Sound Law. Ryan gave me a consultation, I liked that he told me to take care of myself as he could tell I was going off the deep end stressing myself out about the situation that I got put in. Because his power of observation was so strong, I hired him on the spot! He went right to work on my case, had his P.I. doing the most for me to get information that was critical to the case. Once he had all of the information. We went to trial. During trial, Mr. English was very good at making sure that I had a say in EVERYTHING. When questioning the victim and witness, Mr. English was making what seemed to be impossible, possible. He had them contradicting themselves, left and right then pointing out that I was only defending myself, and most importantly, my son. Because of his abilities of observation, from body language to how they wouldn't meet his gaze, he was able to catch them in lies, inconsistencies and discrepancies of their account of the event, got him the win. I was acquitted of all charges. Mr. English gave me my life back and even set me up to go get back what's rightfully mine! As far as I'm concerned, He is a magician!

This man and his team gave me my life back.words don't even begin to describe how great full I am to this man. I have never in my entire life been so well taken care of. I had reached out to him over the phone and immediately I was put at ease. Being a young man with a bright future ahead and a possible life wreaking incident, his awesome man was able to guide me through the entire justice system process and come to the absolute best outcome I could have imagined. He is very responsive, responsible, coordinated, and not to mention, beyond of a measure of a doubt SMART. I cannot thank Ryan enough for what he has done for me and my future. I highly recommend him to anyone facing the justice system. I have already recommended him to everyone I know, both in my personal life as well as professional. I have never had to contact an attorney,but if you find yourself if need, this mas has my upmost vote of confidence! Thank you Ryan and his team

Ryan was able to get the entire case dismissed. He was thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. I would not hesitate to hire him again. Thank you Ryan

Ryan was truly amazing! We contacted him to represent us in an anti-harassment petition that was brought up against us. The petitioners were basing their information on complete misunderstandings and lies that were told to them by others - and their assumptions of what was actually happening. I contacted many other lawyers and Ryan was the only one to not only listen to our full side of the story, but also meet with me face-to-face and begin planning out action steps to help our defense. He took the time to understand the background of the case, get to know us as people and what we wanted, and know who was bringing these false charges and accusations against us. When it came time for the hearing, Ryan was 100% prepared and ready to go. Through his negotiation skills, preparedness, and mediating between the two parties, we were able to come to an agreement and the petitioners dropped their charges -- much to our excitement and delight. Through the entire process, Ryan was easy to get in touch with (phone, text, or email), completely professional, honest, and direct. We talked about it as we left the courthouse that we probably wouldn't be needing his services again (who among us anticipates needing a defense attorney), but I told him that if we were ever in need again ... he would be the first person we call! We highly recommend Ryan English without any reservations and am confident you won't be disappointed either.

I am also an attorney in the Thurston County community. Ryan English is a solid attorney that I've used in the past many times when I could not be present. He is extremely knowledgable, reliable, and my go-to when I need help with my business. I strongly recommend Mr. English for your legal needs.

Respectable attorney ! Ryan is a patient, understanding, and willing to do what ever it takes for the best interest of his clients kind of attorney. He’s detail oriented - upfront guy. Glad to have worked with him

While this review is way overdue it has not diminished over time for the fantastic knowledge and service that was delivered by a trusted lawyer. Mr English in my case went Far and Above on every aspect of my defense. I can not imagine others representing me. If seeking a true professional who cares and works hard in your interest this is the lawyer you want... Period

I interviewed 10 lawyers before deciding to hire Ryan. I could tell after speaking with him that he was honest, hard working and would do everything he could to represent me well. However, his performance somehow exceeded my already high expectations. Ryan was available to answer any questions throughout the process and always provided honest, insightful direction on how he was proceeding. It was clear that he cared and was taking my case seriously. Most importantly, though Ryan never promised anything of the sort, he was able to achieve a complete dismissal of my charges through his skill and ability as a lawyer. I would highly recommend him.

I would like to say that Mr. English is a great attorney; organized, well composed and empathetic to his clients. I have recently survived many struggles in life that also involved the judicial system. Ryan has supported me every step of the way, giving me the confidence I needed to keep going. If it weren't for him, I could be in a much darker place... Thank you Ryan!!!

Spoke with Ryan about vacating my records and was informed that there was nothing to vacate. Ryan informed me of many facts that I did not know about the law, background checks, and how this information is gathered. Ryan was polite, helpful, and to the point. If I am ever in need of a criminal defense attorney or have any questions about the law Ryan will be the first attorney I will call.
