​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.

"I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Ryan to establish my business, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. Attorney Ryan's extensive knowledge of the necessary documents for setting up a business was truly impressive. He went the extra mile by suggesting additional documents I had not considered. As a first-time entrepreneur, having Attorney Ryan's guidance was a true blessing. He was incredibly responsive and willingly made revisions whenever I requested updates. The quality of his work is outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Attorney Ryan's pricing is quite reasonable, making his services accessible to everyone. If you're seeking a top-notch attorney who offers quality work, quick turnaround times, effective communication, and affordability, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Ryan. You won't be disappointed!"
