I have been divorced for over 8 years, but have a high conflict ex, and often need legal advice to handle him. Ryan really listened to who I was dealing with, was able to help arrange the simplest path forward, and gave quick and empathetic support throughout the process. You will be glad to have Ryan on your side, whether you are just getting divorced, or going back later for modifications. I felt like he had my back, and always advocated for the best interests of my children.

My wife and I needed a contract reviewed for representation for our business. Not only did Ryan review the contract made, he informed us that the contract given to us was not legally up to snuff. As a result, he went through the liberty of drafting a legally appropriate agreement which protected every party involved. His analysis was thorough, and he was kind enough to explain both his revisions, and the reasons behind them. We are more informed from a legal standpoint going forward, and that is entirely thanks to the efforts of Ryan. If you’re in need of an attorney that is ethical in conduct, tactful in explanation, and thorough in analysis, you have found the right counsel. We would highly recommend Ryan’s work, and will certainly be appointing him for any future legal work.
