Highly Recommend. And here's why:
At first I didn't want to post this on the internet but screw it - I'm not ashamed of where I am today.
I was facing jail time for a charge of Driving While Revoked. The charge was in the Beaverton Municipal Court. I also was on a 5-year probation in Washington County for driving while revoked. (And the judge Kiersten Thompson stated that if I did it again she would make sure I went to county jail for the max - a year)
So my case seemed entirely hopeless. I knew I was headed for a cell.
I searched and searched for the best criminal defense lawyer I could find. I called a couple offices and the lawyers that heard my case flat out refused to take my case! I was shocked. I even tried to solve the case myself by calling DMV and after finally getting to a supervisor in the Driver Suspensions Unit he said to me, "Forget it - you'll never drive again."
I turned to Google and found Ryan. I called and he invited me in for a consulting session to hear my case. After hearing it he said that though the deck seemed stacked against me, he was optimistic that he could help.
I was skeptical and scared. Not knowing much about the criminal justice system the initial fee was hard to part with, but Ryan was 100% honest and told me that he can not guarantee anything except for the fact that he will fight for me. I really appreciated his integrity.
After I retained Ryan as my attorney he got right to work. I still felt scared at first, because I had been suspended for 12 years and truly believed there was no hope of staying out of jail.
But then as time went on I KNEW I had made the right decision. Ryan was able to open doors that I never though possible.
So - after about a 5 month process Ryan and I stood in front of the judge, and his exact words were, "Mr. Guthridge, it is with great pleasure that this court dismiss your case today. You're free to go." I am a licensed driver today. I was able to freely drive away from the courthouse!
Ryan truly did the impossible for me, and for that I am so thankful. I will never forget the second chance that I feel he gave to me and I know that even if we went down, I had the right partner fighting for me.
Highly recommend. Although I have vowed to do everything I can to never be a defendant again, I know who I will call if I do. read more
