About
Lawyer. Litigator. Problem-solver. Negotiator. Peacemaker. Arguer. Bargainer. Troublemaker. Those are just a few of the titles thrown at Ryan Carty with some regularity. Ryan is a family law practitioner, which is the polite way to explain at a fancy dinner party that he is a divorce lawyer without the word divorce ever spilling out across the table. Ryan spends most of his days in court, preparing for court, or explaining to his clients why they should attempt to avoid court at all costs. Being in court -- litigating -- is what drew Ryan to the practice of family law. Ryan is no stranger to big stages. Ryan made his first front page newspaper headline when he was less than two weeks old. He fractured his skull (it was an accident!) before he could walk. He attended home school, private school, and public school. Ryan left private school halfway through his junior year of high school, despite his parents' best efforts to dissuade him, and transferred to one of the largest public high schools in Southwest Washington (State, not D.C.). Ryan was elected student body President less than five months after setting foot in the door. Ryan's first job was as a door-to-door salesman; he was 12. He started his own window washing business before he could drive a car. He spent time as a groundskeeper, bartender, and dog-walker. Ryan performed tooth extractions in Nicaragua. He laid roof in the Appalachians. And he has never lost an alpine skiing race.1 Lawyers are sometimes referred to as sharks, or blood-suckers. Ryan has played one of those on the big screen. A blood-sucker, not a shark. Ryan has died on film; he has killed on film; he has been yelled at by Michael Bay (not on film).2 Ryan was in a punk rock band for a short period of time, but got out before getting some smokin' tattoos. He sang tenor 2 in an all-male choir (also leaving before acquiring any tattoos). He played Nathan Detroit in a college production of Guys & Dolls despite having never gambled in a casino in his life. Ryan is married to the love of his life. They have three amazingly wonderful boys who sometimes simultaneously drive them crazy and make them crazy proud to be their parents. Ryan's boss once told Ryan that he is a better family law lawyer because he has kids of his own, which means Ryan understands just how important issues like custody and parenting time really are to his clients. And Ryan can appreciate that yelling at your child doesn't mean you're a bad parent. By the same token, Ryan believes that life experience is what makes good lawyers great lawyers. Ryan's life experiences are the reason he is one of only two private lawyers in the State of Oregon to currently serve in an advisory role to the Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court on matters pertaining to family law. Ryan's life experiences propelled him in to a position in which he finds himself regularly testifying before the Oregon Legislature on behalf of the Oregon State Bar regarding proposed family law legislation. Ryan's life experiences are why you want him by your side. 1. Ryan has never actually participated in an alpine skiing race. 2. Is there anyone who has worked in the film industry who hasn't been yelled at by Michael Bay?

I remain a persistent and dedicated parent. After 9 years of battling, my ex and I have nurtured a cooperative respect. But most importantly, my child knows me, trusts me, and talks to me. If you want these things, keep reading. I had a parenting plan that was being ignored by my ex, and I had no idea what to do about it. My first attorney stopped taking my calls, ghosted me when I needed help badly. I knew nothing about the processes of domestic relations cases. I hadn't seen my child in months. I was inconsolable. I was unhappy, confused, scared out of my gourd, and bulldozed. Ryan took my call. He advocated for me, off and on, for six years. Ryan quickly taught me that everything I thought I knew about family law was either wrong, or probably didn't matter. The most important thing Ryan taught me was how to think about my case. He taught me how to prepare for the unpredictable both emotionally, and pragmatically, in real time, even when it was ugly. Note: You're going to get more than you walked in with. Bring a pad of paper and a pen when you sit down with this guy, because you're going to need it.
Ryan was the "glue" that held me together during a very painful divorce experience. I found him to be very open, honest, candid and compassionate. He understood what an emotional experience this was for me and was very willing to answer my continuous questions. He never made me feel as if I was "bothersome", but always made me feel like I was important and that I mattered. God blessed me with the "perfect" attorney and I feel very fortunate to have had Ryan "in my corner" He is very knowledgeable and insightful and was very instrumental in helping me keep my retirement intact, while at the same time finding a way to assist me in accessing funds to pay off existing debt. I highly recommend Ryan and his services to anyone who might need an attorney. His services were worth every penny that I spent.
I've spoken with four different attorneys about the details of my case. Ryan demonstrated an absolute mastery of the law and brought a depth of knowledge to the fine details of child support laws, rules, and administrative mechanics that was lacking in all of the others. He was well prepared for our call, and generous with his time. He was also quite creative in strategy and tactics. If you are in need of a family law attorney in Oregon, Ryan is an excellent choice.
Mr. Carty represented me in a criminal case. During our initial meeting he took the time to listen, was understanding, compassionate, and explained the process. I relied on his analytical skills and judgement to guide me through an extremely emotionally trying experience. While interacting with Mr. Carty I found him to be ethical, knowledgeable, organized, accountable, and responsive. He answered every question I had. Both he and Ms. Grandfield (paralegal) communicated updates to me as the case progressed. His interactions with opposing council and co-council were professional, direct and courteous. I highly recommend Carty Law, PC when you need a team that has the creativity to find solutions and the perseverance to get the job done.
I had my custody case re-opened by my daughters mother and Ryan came in to get be better terms than my first lawyer did for a fraction of the cost. The communication was great and his billing hours were efficient and clear. Highly recommend.
Ryan was able to negotiate a specific and detailed parenting plan in my case recently that has already significantly reduced the high conflict and parental alienation. Ryan was sensitive to my desires for follow-up and strategy sessions. Although we disagreed occasionally we worked well together and each of us took the others advice. Ryan was available to me for emergency situations, for example, he emailed me at 11pm to give me timely advice for the following morning. Ryan is a loving father and that makes him a great family law attorney in my opinion.
Mr. Carty represented my interests during a 2.5 year legal process regarding child support, parenting time, and parenting skills. The outcome was not what I hoped for (wishful thinking) but WAS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED thanks to Mr. Carty. Ryan listened, offered sound legal advice & strategy, was professional, ethical, and thoroughly prepared for the numerous legal activities involved in the process. My perception was Mr. Carty was cognizant of the stress, strain, and emotional discord the process caused for myself and he professionally attempted to ease the pressure while maintaining high service standards, legal activities, and ethics. I would solidly recommend Mr. Carty to anyone facing legal domestic dispute issues. Legal services are expensive; I got my money's worth from Mr. Carty's counsel and services. I foresee further domestic dispute challenges for myself in the not-to-distant future. When such situations arise I will be contacting Mr. Carty for further assistance and services.
Just wanted to say a special Thank you to Ryan. This divorce process was very stressful and confusing for me and Ryan brought me through the process with ease of mind.
Ryan represented me in a lengthy divorce and throughout the case he was forward thinking, strategic, insightful, organized, and was an excellent communicator. He helped me understand the nuances of the process, encouraged me when I was frustrated, while being extremely supportive and empathetic to my situation. I would recommend him without hesitation.
Ryan came highly recommended to me by a friend. He helped me with a child custody matter that went to court. I am very impressed with him, he ALWAYS kept me informed and like others have said "knew" what the other party was going to do. He took on an offensive approach and made things happen rather than waiting to see what would happen. In court, he shined. He became very theatrical and ran circles around the other party.
