He grew frustrated with every legal experience he had sitting on the other side of the table as a client on a startup budget.

"I decided to work with Ryan after two short consultation calls where Ryan shared his wealth of knowledge with me. He has been extremely helpful and efficient in resolving my case without any significant delays. He made everything easier for me so I could focus on running my business. I highly recommend him to any business owners seeking legal services without wanting to break the bank with traditional law firms. Very glad I found him on UpCounsel."
