Ryan Garvey with the Sonoran law group is undoubtedly the best lawyer. I had been charged with possion of dangerous drugs facing 2.5 years. That was if I sign at a fast tract court first offer. We decided to take it to trial because I had faith in Ryan and I didn't hold any information from him and now I'm facing 7.5 to 13 years if we lose. Well I have to say with Ryan as my lawyer and as professional and skilled in law as he is, I never worried one time and we were first to see the judge every time we appear in court. I can't say in words how grateful I am for his services. If you need help with your case and you are facing time in prison call Ryan Garvey. He is a phenomenal lawyer. He worked so hard for me and got me deferred to a tasc program which I have completed in 9 short months. Thank you Ryan I am loving life still sober.
I am a convicted felon with w/ prior felony convictions ,did 1 year doc for previous conviction . I was attending school and working . with a 3rd repeated offence after 5years of being clean had me facing 2years to 5 max he shot for furlough as i asked and got it
Ryan's experience as an attorney and former Asst DA is worth every penny. I had a case that Ryan helped blow out of the water. And when the PA dropped the case to add a bigger, more harsh charge months later for the same offense...Ryan's experience, combined with his mitigation team's effort, was able to put together such a good strategy and report, that upon conclusion the prosecuting attorney stood up, walked over to me and shook my hand and wished me good luck in the future. It also helps to wear a suit or dress and not look or act like a hood when you're there. Most people don't get that from what I've witnessed. Dress like your attorney. Ryan is the only attorney I will use in these matters if needed in the future.
We hired Ryan Garvey at Sonoran Law Group to represent me in a felony criminal case in Phoenix. It was an awful case and we couldn't believe I was charged at all. Mr. Garvey was awesome, he was patient with me and all our questions and stressful nights. We had his cellphone which I used a lot to talk to him countless times, even on the weekends and he didn't seem to mind... thanks Ryan! He got my Felonies dismissed and even argued to the Court to set aside the misdemeanor conviction I ultimately accepted so we walked away at the end as if the whole thing never happened on my record. Sonoran Law Group is an amazing law firm and we talk about our experience openly and the results often to people and share what an amazing outcome he was able to get for me. Get these guys on your side, totally worth the cost which was also really good! Thanks again to Ryan and Sonoran Law Group. So Happy!
Mr. Garvey represented me when I was being unfairly harassed by my landlord. I was convinced after meeting with him for a consultation that he was the lawyer I needed to proceed with protecting my rights. He was professional, confident, extremely knowledgeable, tenacious, and I could not be more pleased with the results of my case! Bottom line, I give my highest possible recommendation to Mr. Garvey and am so glad I hired him!!!
I was referred to Ryan after getting into deep trouble with a DUI charge. He was so much different than the other lawyers I met with. He spent over an hour meeting with me, he answered every question I had & was truly interested in helping me. I had many choices in lawyers. I chose Ryan because he knew the law & how to help me & I am so thankful that I trusted in him. He saved me period.
Mr. Garvey handled my DUI case in September 2008 in Seattle Municipal Court. He was worth every penny. Iwas able to get keep my drivers license and the case was dropped to a traffic infraction with no criminal record. I owe keeping my job to Mr. Garvey. He is an excellent lawyer and one that I have already recommended several times.
I have several attorneys that I use for my company issues but was directed to Ryan when I had a contractor disappear from the job at my personal residence. Ryan went above and beyond what I could have expected and was able to put me in first position to recieve the full amount of the contractors bond. Ryan researched and sited case law that moved my position above creditors that had already gone after the bond. I have since used Ryan to help in my business matters as well. Great guy, professional, tough with tact when needed.
My husband and I wanted a local attorney to work with us concerning some trouble our teenage son had gotten himself into. We found Mr. Garvey and set up an initial consultation with him. He answered all of our questions and really put our minds at ease. We left his office feeling very confident with our decision to hire him. He is very professional which we found to be reassuring as we continued the process throughout our sons case. In the end we were very happy with the outcome and were happy to express our thanks and gratitude to Mr. Garvey.
