Ryan Akio English

I worked with Ryan at Sound Law. He always presented himself professionally and respectfully in court. Dealing with legal issues can be scary and confusing. Ryan made it easy to understand what my options and next steps were. I appreciate his guidance and genuine care. I strongly recommend this firm... if he is an indication of their caliber.

I was attending several months of court proceedings, before I had the opportunity of meeting Mr. Ryan English. My case was appointed to Mr. English through the public defenders office and in spite of Mr. English not being a public defender, he still accepted my case. Through months of past hearings,... I was struggling physically, mentally, and financially. After speaking with Mr. English, I rediscovered hope. He was eager to help, confident in my case, confident in his abilities/knowledge and offered continuous support. For the first time in months, I felt a resolution nearing. Mr. English listened to the words I had spoken, details in my case, how I was doing as a result or influence of being in court. I expressed to him, that being in that position, I had lost two jobs and made it difficult to find work. He then consoled, then supported me by saying that he would do everything he could to help. Through the next few court hearings, Mr. English kept me informed of the status of the case. He had great communication with me and kept me up to date on some of the legal verbiage that seemed rather intimidating. He displayed no fear, wasn't quick on trying to accept a plea deal and even stated "I'm not afraid of going to trail. If we have to take this to trail, we will.". With the duration of my case, Mr. English spoke with my witnesses, reviewed case work, supported me and without blink or hesitation, he won my case and got all the charges dismissed. I can't ever begin to repay him for his work and the compassion that he showed me. Thank you, I'm grateful for everything.
