Tremendous Service

Briefly spoke to Ryan on an consulting service and I'd have to say he was very helpful and understanding as well as caring. Would most definitely recommend him.

Professional,

When a deadbeat customer refused to pay me in full for the services I had delivered, I didn’t know what to do. I turned to The Vincent Legal Group for help and was amazed how quickly I had a check in hand. After I met with Ryan and Brian they went to work immediately and took care of absolutely ev...erything. I really appreciated how they kept me up to date as things progressed and that they got all the money owed to me. This is the second time I have used The Vincent Legal Group and, once again, working with them proved to be an effortless delight. (The first time was a couple years ago when they helped write some business contracts for me.) They are professional and the manner in which they deliver service is impeccable. I am exceptionally happy with their service and the results they deliver.

Divorce

I went through a very trying and contentious divorce. I can honestly say that i'm very glad that I had such a knowledgable and professional Attorney by my side. Ryan was able to explain every step of the process in a way that made me very comfortable moving forward. Divorce is a very stressful tim...e and it is very comforting knowing you have someone you can trust in your corner. I can't express enough how much I appreciate his hard work and counsel during such a very trying time in my life. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone in need of an Attorney.

Consultation

It was only a preliminary consultation and Ryan McKnight was very clear spoken and understanding and communicated very well back with me. I didn't feel uncomfortable speaking with Ryan. I didn't feel forced to work with him. I appreciated his honesty and helping me go the write direction. If I ever n...eed to contact someone to work for me and help me comfortably, I would definitely go to him. I would recommend him to whoever needs to hire someone with great communication skills and down to earth personality and is willing to work, step by step situations instead of jumping on the ball of things. Thank you

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.
