Great lawyer - clear advice

Ryan has provided helpful legal advice to our small software company, including helping us with difficult employee situations and terminations, drafting agreements, and with drafting or revising company employment policies. He is responsive and efficient, and explains things in a clear and no-nonsen...se way. I recommend Ryan for employers looking for no-nonsense employment law help.

A great employment lawyer for companies in the PNW

We run a small, cutting-edge marketing company in Portland, Oregon. Ryan has helped advise us with several employment matters over the years, including related to difficult personnel situations, updating company policies and handbooks, and answering questions about compliance with employment laws. ...Ryan is very approachable, and his advice is thoughtful, practical, and helpful. I would strongly recommend him to any employer with employment-related legal questions or issues.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
