Ryan Smith is a magnificent attorney. He lead me through the sling and arrows of the Alameda County court system. Even though I think the Alameda DA's office is corrupt, he was able to guide me through for the best outcome.

Ryan was amazing at helping me navigate the court system from start to finish. He walked me through the entire process. I definitely recommend him if you have anything court related.

Hands down the best lawyer in the Bay Area. I’ve talked to many but he deserves 1st place. This man loves his job, meaning he loves to help people. He will answer any question you have for him and will explain everything to you in great detail. You will not regret giving him a call. Best part is his consulting is free! He gives great advice on what you should do regarding your case, you wont regret hiring him.

I was scared. I was facing an overwhelming system with my charge. Lawyers were pressuring me into contracts that I did not understand. Then I met Ryan, and it felt like I found a friend on this difficult journey. Ryan was completely transparent, he had a proven track record, he knows what he's doing and, most importantly, I knew that he would see the case through to the very end, no matter how long it took, and Ryan would never try to wrap it up for an easy deal. You need Ryan, in your corner. He saved my career. If I could give a thousand reviews, I would.

Although we did not work with Ryan on a criminal defense case, he helped a family member with sealings and an expungement. He was personable, attentive, and gave clear /upfront costs for his services.

Ryan has been very hands-on throughout the process and a very personable person to work with.

Ryan is very knowledge attorney. He knows how to take care of business and handles all of all the details. Example my first day in court he found out another attorney had a case similar to mine but his client had previous convictions. He switched places with this attorney just to see how the DA would handle the bail situation. When the DA did not request bail I remember Ryan turning to me with a thumbs up knowing the DA was most likely not going to request bail from me either. Of course Ryan was right. Little things like this shows Ryan knows the in and outs of the system so he can best defend you. I highly recommend Ryan if you are looking for a great defense attorney!

When you're forced to deal with the judicial system the process can be quite overwhelming. This is when the services of Ryan can make the difference. He was very responsive to any and all of my questions even when repeated. I would highly recommend Ryan for your legal needs.

I was arrested on charges of Felony Embezzlement with all the evidence stacked against me. I was looking at serious prison time or a lengthy probation. Ryan was able to work with me even though my finances at the time were not great. He was able to drop my Felony down to a Misdemeanor. I had to pay back restitution and 3 year probation. There was no jail or prison time which I can’t thank Ryan enough for. It’s been 3 years since the incident and on the day of the third year Ryan reminded me that I am eligible for expungement. I gladly did it and Ryan did everything for me in less than 2 weeks. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer in this tough situation I put myself in.
