When I went to Childers and Associates I was living a nightmare. I had to resign my dream job in law enforcement, I was facing felony charges, and a potential prison sentence, and I hadn’t done anything wrong. My ex-wife had falsely accused me of domestic violence, she’d promised she ruin my life and now she was attempting to do it.
In our first meeting, as soon as Mr. Childers and I began speaking he put me at ease, and unlike some lawyers he was easy to understand, and he took the time to listen to me. I made it clear that I would not plead guilty to anything since I had done nothing wrong, and Mr. Childers agreed he would fight my case until it was dismissed or we won at trial.
In court, at our first hearing with witnesses, Mr. Childers was able to cross-examine my ex-wife exposing her lies, it went so well that at the end of the hearing he was able to convince the judge that my case should not be a felony and it was reduced to a misdemeanor, this was a big win but we weren’t done fighting. For some reason, the DA would not budge on my case, so we had take my case to trial. I have never been through anything like this before, it is stressful, but it always made me feel good that Mr. Childers was confident in my innocence and in his ability to convince a jury of it too.
My trial was nerve wracking but also so enjoyable watching Mr. Childers skillfully expose lie after lie after lie being told by my ex-wife. He used text messages I had given him and confronted my wife with them after each lie, and with others he used voicemails, taking my ex’s own voice and using it to expose more lies. It seemed like Mr. Childers was running circles around the DA. Every time the DA tried to do something my lawyer was prepared and knocked it down time after time. As I sat through the trial, especially Mr. Childers final argument to the jury, I knew I could not have made a better choice for my lawyer, I knew I was getting my life back. I was right, the jury took less than an hour (45 minutes) to find me not guilty. At the end of the trial I knew that I wasn’t just a case to Mr. Childers but he actually cared, and I’m grateful that he worked so hard to help me.
I’m sorry this is such a long review, but so much happened that I don’t know how else explain it. Let me finish by saying, I can say without any doubt that if you need a lawyer, you have to hire the best and there is no question that Mr. Childers and his firm Childers & Associates are the best.

En 10 años que llevo siendo demandada injustamente por el padre de mi hija, sintiendo temor por sus amenazas, al ser yo mexicana y el padre ser americano, en todos estos años y varios abogados contratados, el licenciado Childers es el mejor abogado , realmente estudio y resolvió con ética y humanidad el caso .Gracias!
For over 10 years I've been the father of my daughter has been sue me with false declarations, causing me fear of loosing my daughter to him. I've had many lawyers until I came across Childers. Thanks to Mr. Childers we won this battle and I feel much safer. I highly recommend his firm. He really takes time to study your case very carefully, advising you well and finding the missing pieces to solve the puzzle.
Thank You!

I gave Ryan Childers and Associates a FIVE star rating for their extensive knowledge of the law, the compassionate demeanor of Mr. Childers and his entire staff, and the great lengths he goes to, putting his all into the cases he takes on. My case is a very rare and complicated legal matter. This fact has not slowed down Mr. Childers or his staff a bit. Mr. Childers and his team thrive in the law field and do an outstanding job with their legal research, filing of proper paperwork, and writing professional responses and petitions. They also strive to understand ever detail of the case. They really go above and beyond for their clients. And when the time comes for trial, Mr. Childers' performance is very impressive. Aside from his witty tactics in court, he also continues to research and look over details during recesses. I'm telling you--Above and Beyond!!

Ryan Childers was by my side throughout my custody dispute. We won our case getting a 50/50 timeshare, including a schedule that was in the best interest of our children; allowing them to have much needed time with both parents.
Ryan was very knowledgeable and he handled my case very professionally, keeping it on track.

I cannot say enough positive things about the law offices of Ryan D. Childers & Associates, in El Centro, CA. My boyfriend and I were struggling for two and a half years with a legal issue, which wasn't looking good. We live far from Imperial County, where the issue occurred, and had hired a San Diego-based attorney to handle our case, initially. However, given the differences between county procedures, we found ourselves requiring the services of someone more familiar with the nuances of the area.
We were so fortunate to find Mr. Childers through a search of reputable attorneys in El Centro, and could not have been more pleased with the entire team. From his polite and helpful receptionist, to his bright and adept associate attorneys, to his exceptional support team, EVERYONE treated us with courtesy, respect and kindness.
Mr. Childers, himself, is very well respected in the community, serving on multiple boards and committees, and happens to be the third-generation of his family to be born and raised in El Centro. He so loves the community that he is raising his own family there, as well. It seems rare to find a defense attorney who is invested in his clients' lives, but Mr. Childers took the time to get to know my boyfriend, myself and our infant daughter. His wife also works out of his office, as a real estate agent, and both she and his young children took the time to introduce themselves. I found this to be such a comfort during a difficult time for our small family.
When it came time to take our case to trial and we had to stay in town, two hours away from home and anyone we knew, Mr. Childers and his staff went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that we had safe and reliable childcare as needed, at no cost. This may seem small, but it made an already stressful situation vastly more manageable.
In total, we spent roughly one week in trial. Mr. Childers left not a single stone unturned, listened to our input and truly made us feel like we were all on the same team. He spent countless hours preparing his defense, dissecting the prosecution's case each day and anticipating any pitfalls we may have encountered. Throughout the entire trial, we felt informed and confident that there would be few, if any, surprises. When I had the opportunity to sit in court, Mr. Childers spoke with confidence, respect for everyone involved and armed with as many facts as possible.
We won, thanks to his efforts. Whatever the legal matter, be it a defense case, estate planning, family law, or any of the other legal matters his office handles, I would put 100% of my faith in Childers & Associates, every time. We are beyond grateful for their assistance, and so happy to have put the matter behind us and be able to move on with our lives.

The best attorney in the area won my case with reimbursement of my separate property funds that I do not believe another attorney would have been able to get for me. This amount was substantial and my ex is paying it back with interest. I would pick Mr. Childers anytime over the other attorneys in the area.

There are no words that can truly describe the gratitude that my family and I have for Ryan and his entire staff, including associate Raj Singh. Ryan TRULY cared about my daughter and her well being. He has a really big heart. He and Mr. Singh aren't just lawyers but human beings who deeply care about the people they represent. I am forever indebted to Ryan, Raj, and the rest of his wonderful staff. I cannot say enough about all of them. If you are looking for an excellent lawyer, please look no further-call Childers and Associates TODAY!

Ryan Childers and Associates set up a trust for our family in early 2012. The staff was prompt, organized, knowledgable and professional while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. This staff is neither stuffy nor impersonal as they truly care about their clients well being. I completely trust this firm and will continue to seek out their services as the opportunity arises
