I went through a divorce with my first wife who had once told me how she out witted her first husband. She took him for everything and got sole custody of their children. Me knowing this and new to the legal side of family law, I was referred to Ryan.
Though my (now) ex-wife and I agreed on property and other monetary instruments, our only disagreement was of who should gain control of my son. I believed everything to do with my son’s best interest to be split fairly. Instead, Ryan and his staff insisted on “Take the minimum since that is what we can guarantee to get you. Then later, we can take her back to get more visitation time.” This was because I was a male and it is supposedly hard to get much from the family court system.
Even though I did not think this was the right choice, I foolishly took the advice of my attorney. I rarely heard from Ryan or his paralegal (Denise) during the process. I would get an occasional message on my phone to call letting me know “We’re almost done.” The few things I insisted him to argue in court was not followed though and somehow forgotten.
When the divorce was done, I wasn’t even made aware of the court date. Instead I was given a phone call to show up at the office to sign the paperwork that would conclude the divorce. The process from start to finish took One year and 6 days. It cost $6,000 (rounded), I got close to nothing of what I asked for and I was left feeling taken for! The only person I would recommend Ryan and his staff to is whoever I would go up against.

Childers and Associates played a vital role in why my court case had a wonderful conclusion. I could not have been any happier (ecstatic) with the outcome of my child dependency case. Before Mr. Ryan Childers became my attorney of record, my court case was looking utterly hopeless. The opposition seemed to be eating my previous attorney alive--every time my case went before the court. That attorney was poorly equipped to adequately defend me. The day Mr. Ryan Childers and his ambitious, talented associated began representing me, they rolled-up their shirt sleeves and went right to work on my case. From that day on, the complexities of my court case began to immediately turn around. Childers and Associates faced a long, hard up-hill battle. I had such a good feeling knowing that Mr. Childers and his team were taking an open-minded, objective look at the circumstances of my case and completely focused on fiercely defending me, despite all the false allegations. personally, I witnessed one of the finest displays of an attorney performing to the level of excellence at his craft. I strongly recommend Childers and Associates to anybody who needs a defense attorney who will fight skillfully and tactfully for their client to the very end.

I hired Ryan at a moment's notice when I had to go through a child custody battle. At the time I was representing myself, but wasn't getting anywhere. So we chose Ryan. From the beginning he and his staff welcomed my family and were most helpful and kind. They treated our family as one of their own and looked at our case as if it were personal to them. We were always treated with the utmost respect, courtesy, and professionalism. My case took about 1-2 yrs to finally wrap up. I must say that in that time it felt like an emotional rollercoaster. Ryan and his staff were there for every phone call and venting rant that I made. Ryan handled my case professionally in the court room even when the Plaintff's attorney tried to bash me, Ryan reassured me that he didn't need to be nasty to win a case. He maintained a calm cool and collected demeanor that showed his true character. To which most people would say you'd need the oppostie in an attorney if you want to win the case, but I stuck with Ryan becasue I truly believed that he had my child's best interest at heart. The case was personal to him. I wasn't just another client. We discussed how we would handle the case and he spent a lot of time gathering evidence and putting together a strong case. His staff helped out in every way they could at last minute situations. In the end Ryan stuck to his guns and performed well in the court room. He was great at cross examination and gave a compelling closing statement. I believe that he was able to really show the judge the true facts of the case and we were able to win our case. I couldn't be happier with the work Ryan and his staff provided. I am so thankful I hired a great person to represent me in court.

I had gone through at least 4 other lawyers before I met Mr. Childers. He helped me to understand what was going on, at a time when I couldnt have been more lost. He listened to me, and treated me with respect and dignity, and with the utmost of professionalism. I felt like an individual with individual circumstances that should be considered, like we were working together as a team to acheive a common goal. Thats the way it should be. I owe him and his associates my life. Thank you Mr. Childers

Ryan helped my family in a child abuse case. He is very sharp and well spoken in court. He did everything he could to ensure our child's safety. It was a very difficult case and he handled it very well.

I live in LA and got a DUI at Glamis last Halloween. I spoke with Ryan the week after the arrest and after going over the details of the arrest, he assured me at the very least he could represent me in court without me having to drive to El Centro for the appearance for an affordable rate. When the case came to court Ryan found some problem with the police report/procedure and got the charges dropped to a wet reckless. Saved me quiet a bit in fines, but even better I didn't have to do the AA classes. I was very happy with the results. Good lawyer, friendly staff.

I found the service to be responsive and the results for my case were better than I expected. The Law Office handled the case from the DMV hearing thirough the entire court process, I kept my license and the case was dismissed despite the fact my BAC was above a .15%.
