I would STRONGLY caution any woman before working with this firm. After obtaining my dear friend's…read moreinformation from a public court record regarding a traffic accident, the firm sent a solicitation email seeking her business. That alone was extremely intrusive, but what was truly concerning was they copied her ex-husband on the email. The case involved only her, yet they felt it appropriate to include a spouse (or in this case an ex-spouse) in an email and case involving an adult middle-aged woman. The entire interaction carried a blatant patriarchal undertone, as though an adult woman cannot be approached directly regarding her own legal matters without involving a man. In 2026, that mindset is unacceptable. This would have been deplorable even if it was her actual husband copied on the email. It was, in fact, her ex-husband of many years. The misogynistic and patriarchal tone were clear. To this firm, women are not capable of handling their own affairs without a man being kept in the loop. Take heed, women. There are many law firms that value your autonomy, intelligence and capability. This is not one of them.

My experience with Ryan has been awful to say the least. He failed to report prosecutorial…read moremisconduct to the courts/judge (prosecutor lied and made false statements) he told me the prosecutor is allowed to do so and that it was perfectly legal. He failed to go over the discovery with me. I was instructed to go over it for myself at his office computer. I had no idea what I was doing and expressed how dissatisfied I was with the process. Instead of going over the discovery with me he just kept telling me he saw the discovery/ evidence and that it had so much evidence against me. But yet he still would not take the time to go over the discovery with me. Then comes the sentencing aspect of my case. I got an email from him 2 weeks before my sentencing saying that we should meet to get ready for sentencing. He said he couldn't meet in person that it had to be a phone call meeting. So I called him and he started telling me that he submitted a sentencing memorandum already! He did not talk to me about it, he did not consult with me and it was already in the books! In the weeks/months leading up to sentencing he never explained what a sentencing memorandum was nor how important they can be to a persons case/sentencing. He also did not tell me there was a deadline on when it was due. He told me several months prior that he would send me a template to get character letters ready for the judge. I did not receive that template or any instructions until after my memorandum was already submitted (without my approval). Not only was my memorandum inefficient but it had a false statement that he put on the memorandum. He had zero supporting documents and left out extremely important facts and medical records from my memorandum. After expressing how dissatisfied I was with his memorandum and his legal work in general he sent me an email claiming that he requested my medical records several times over the course of several months, and that I never had them sent to him, which was untrue. I indeed did have my medical records sent to him several months prior! 8 months to be exact! I advise anyone who needs serious legal counsel to consider my experience before hiring Ryan and his legal team.
