I am a father of a child under 3, and I was facing the prospect of reduced parenting time, being relegated to a weekend only dad that pays guideline child support. My situation was further complicated by a biased custody evaluation that was intentionally skewed against me. All of that, despite my consistent and active involvement in my son’s life from the moment I learned of the pregnancy. Additionally, I hadn’t done anything wrong, and there was nothing negative about me.
Enter Ryan—a game-changer who turned my case around.
Ryan’s preparation for my case was thorough and strategic. He is very good at selecting compelling evidence and coming up with an effective Case Strategy. His approach was aggressive, yet he never appeared as such due to his sharp intellect. In the courtroom, his skill in cross-examination was obvious, he exposed inconsistencies and undermined the credibility of witnesses. His questioning was both precise and effective. Outside the courtroom, Ryan meticulously reviewed every document and piece of evidence. His communication was always clear, informative, and responsive. I consistently felt that he sought the best possible outcome for me and my son, rather than focusing on maximizing his fees.
Ryan handled my case brilliantly. He secured a 50/50 custody arrangement very early and then played the long game. He timed the discovery process just right, showing that we were prepared to go to trial if mediation failed, and hinted that we were confident with the evidence we had for trial. Thanks to Ryan, my case settled in mediation. I am happy with the result, having achieved most of my objectives with just a few small compromises necessary to reach an agreement. Had we gone to trial, I was confident that we were likely to win. Thanks Ryan, for what you did for me and my son.

Would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for an outstanding divorce attorney. He was extremely through, responsive, candid and understanding. Could not ask for a better attorney to represent my interests and be on top of all the key details.

From the beginning of a very challenging divorce, Ryan has always considered the best interest of my children and me. I highly recommend leveraging Ryan - especially if you know that your case is going to be difficult. It is nice knowing that there are still lawyers that have a heart and can empathize with their clients. It is also nice to know that Ryan never steered me in a spiteful direction that could have led to more turmoil in my co-parenting relationship, despite the opposing party attempting to leverage every low-blow possible. Ryan is professional and candid - this proves to be imperative and invaluable when walking into an environment that is otherwise unchartered.

Cannot recommend Ryan enough. An absolute pro, both in the courtroom and in the office. His legal knowledge and performance during trials are incredible. Highly recommend him, especially for fathers in tricky divorce situations with children. I've worked with him for several years, he is the best of the best. Fantastic attorney, top notch professionalism and legal expertise.

Ryan has represented us on two occasions, for a modification and enforcement. During the 14-hour mediation, he remained vigilant, even as the day stretched extremely long. He gives straightforward, honest answers, and has always been a pleasure to work with. Ryan and his assistants are easy to reach, and return calls and emails. In a court setting, he remained diligent, professional, calm and confident. He was able to keep focus on relevant matters, and really highlighted the issues to the judge. Ryan understood our priorities, and represented our interests well.

I hired Ryan for my custody case back in November of 2018. I couldn’t be any happier that I did. Ryan won my case for me yesterday in a 1 hour per side jury trial. We were expecting at least three to five hours to present all of our evidence & witnesses but when the opposing counsel stalled in mediation the judge ordered 1 hour per side. I didn’t know how in the world he would pull this off. Every second counted. He allocated his time brilliantly. He was aggressive but showed class. The opposing lawyer has been practicing law longer than Ryan has been alive. I thought that we would be in for a real dogfight in our initial hearing but Ryan just simply outmatched him, and honestly, made it look easy. His opening/closing remarks were astounding. The jury deliberated in 30-40 minutes. He left no doubt in their minds that my child was in better hands with me. I am very thankful for his services & while I hope I never have to use him again, I know where all of my referrals for family law will go. Thanks Ryan!

was choosing Ryan to represent me. Ryan listened to me and MY situation and only then started to discuss what my options were.
He was always available for questions. When decisions had to be made Ryan offered advice but let me make the choices I needed to make.

Ryan was my attorney,and Lisa Gray was his paralegal. They are both remarkable. Few observations that stood out during the trial. Remarkable opening & closing statements, thorough study of evidences/exhibits, very persuasive & convincing to the audience in his arguments, and meticulous preparation. He fought the case with full vigor and honesty, and got me the best outcome possible. I fully recommend him. Below is the summary details of my case: wife committed adultery; i left her, filed for divorce. Wife wanted 100 grands to settle. Case went on for 17 months, ended up in a jury trial.
Total legal expense $31K approx.
If you are in need of some serious help, please reach out to him. He will get you the best outcome possible for your case. Awesome attorney, and they (Ryan and Lisa) are very nice people !!

This summer I had an emergency and needed a family law attorney I turned to O’neil And Wysocki Family Law firm and was the best decision I’ve made. Ryan Segall was my attorney and he did everything in his power to help me with any questions I had. This being my first time having to hire an attorney he made it so easy and comfortable. I will most definitely refer anyone to Ryan because I know with his honesty he will not fail to disappoint you with his work ethic. I am so greatful for what Ryan has done for me and my family and I will be forever greatful. Thank you Ryan for your professionalism and your hard work it is greatly appreciated!!!

Ryan is an awesome divorce attorney! There were things I wanted to give up on so my ex and I could just quit fighting and be done with the divorce, but Ryan recommended that I hang tough and fight for what was best for my son and I. Because of his excellent advice, I ended up getting everything I wanted out of the divorce plus double the amount of child support that ex wanted to pay. Ryan always answered emails and phone calls quickly which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Ryan if you are going through a nasty divorce because you will come out on top! My ex even said my lawyer was way better than his and I was the "winner" in the lawyer category :) Thanks so much Ryan!

I was blessed to have Ryan Segall handle my modification case this past year. He is a very knowledgeable attorney and was an asset to have in my corner helping me through the case. From the moment we started discussing the case I felt he was dedicated and truly cared about the outcome. Tremendously wonderful attitude! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Ryan is a great attorney. We have only spoken by phone but he took time to review my case and gave me all the answers I needed. He is very well spoken and pleasant to talk with.
