About
Ryan strives to be a great listener, communicative, approachable, and solution oriented with his clients. His ability to be friendly and open-minded, assertive and self-assured, and easy-going and humble, make him well suited to work with a myriad of clients.
He created Where's Legal?, P.C… read more after noticing a lack of legal services tailored toward small business. He grew frustrated with every legal experience he had sitting on the other side of the table as a client on a startup budget. Between uncertain and out-of-hand billed hours, poor work product, and difficult communication, he knew there had to be a better way.
