None of these positive reviews surprises me in the least. of course Ryan is extremely professional and is backed by a great professional staff, but more importantly, he is sharp and very fast on his feet. I thought I was a goner as I sat in court and heard the case in front of me as the prosecuting atty was arguing against a continuance for a defendant in the hospital for emergency surgery with a note from the surgeon. She was out for blood, guilty or innocent. At one point I heard her say to the officer, I take them all personally. When our turn came up, Ryan was brilliant. After prosecution laid out the case, Ryan calmly pointed out issues I did not even know existed. The prosecutor tried to counter vigorously, but Ryan simply used her own words to counter her arguments with impeccable logic. I thought I was fast on my feet but Ryan is an artist. Lets face it- the system is not out for justice. Prosecutors prosecute and Judges... maybe they would like to see justice, but its not their job to find it for you. You need some who is sharp, knows the system and is motivated to win on your side to offset the fact that the system provides two people against you (prosecutor and officer) and one who is hopefully willing to listen (the Judge). Ryan is that guy. Do yourself a favor and hire a guy that can phrase the argument in a way the judge can hear it and adjust under pressure if necessary. Hire Ryan and get justice.

Ryan possess every quality when someone wants to find not only an amazing lawyer, but amazing individual as well. Ryan and his staff were so welcoming, helpful, and genuinely care about you. You are not just another client, they treat you as if you are a member of their family, going above and beyond what is expected to protect you. He made the process easy by explaining each step, the best course of action, every possible outcome, and communicated promptly, responsibly, and respectfully. Thanks to Ryan my charges were dismissed, and I will be forever grateful; he was my first lawyer, and will forever be the only one I want. Thank you Ryan!!

Ryan Schmalzle is an excellent Attorney. He is very quick to respond to phone calls and emails. He Always answers any questions I have and is very helpful with explaining things. He is very professional in and out of the court room and is willing to go the extra mile to help. He did a great job with my criminal case and I highly recommend Ryan to anyone seeking an Attorney in the area.

"The termination of a marriage is emotional. Ryan's experience, professionalism, and genuine care for my needs helped me navigate through the many pot holes I could have fallen into which would have made my post divorce life difficult. I appreciate Ryan's service, it felt like I was working with a friend."

I met with Mr. Schmalzle on behalf of a family member, regarding a lengthy civil matter that resulted in a period of incarceration despite a criminal charge. I called his office late one afternoon after realizing the impending necessity of legal representation. Mr. Schmalzle was attentive, understanding of the situation and incredibley helpful in resolving the matter. Mr. Schmalzle was very fair and offered full transparency into the legal options available. Once hired, he sprung to action and immediately begain setting things in motion. This showed his commitment to clients. Despite juggling multiple cases, he was always available and provided updates through whichever channel was immediately available (phone, email, etc). Not only was he able to resolve the matter, he took the necessary steps to ensure the situation would remain settled going forward, after his representation had ended. This level of attentiveness, sets him apart and demonstrates a level of commitment deeply rooted to the system of justice. On the day of court, it was evident that Mr. Schmalzle is a respected member of the legal community. His presence in the courtroom was neccessary in releasing my family member. Mr. Schmalzle is an attorney who is truly dedicated to his trade. I would reccommend anyone to reach out to Mr. Schmalzle when seeking representation.

As with the other reviews, I cannot emphasize how well Ryan handled my case. Although, the case brought some challenges, Ryan always stayed true to giving all possible outcomes (even worst case). I appreciated the wealth of knowledge and familiarity with the local counties. His ability to be honest and up front as well as his determination on making the best case possible are invaluable. He kept me informed and was very responsive to any concerns I may have had. He demonstrated tact and diplomacy when resolving conflicts with opposing counsel, addressing concerns directly in a professional and courteous manner. He kept the fight up even when I felt like giving up at times. I recommend Ryan to anyone in need of legal services.

Ryan is very organized and at the top of his game. I approached him just a few short weeks before a pending court hearing regarding a custody/visitation dispute after struggling to represent myself, pro se. He provided timely counsel, intervened with the other side immediately after months of my being stonewalled by opposing counsel, and was able to elicit an amicable settlement while taking careful measures to minimize costs. In the end, Ryan proved to be a very effective mediator, and we were able to settle outside of court. Every penny for his advice and services was well worth it.

Ryan is knowledgeable, dependable, professional and worth every penny I paid for his services. He was always available, responding quickly by phone and email, so I was never left guessing when I needed something. He took steps to reduce costs as much as possible, unlike some lawyers that do everything they can to pad their billing, which I greatly appreciated, and his advice was always spot on and the end result was a successful conclusion to my case at the least possible expense. So I would highly recommend him, his hourly rate was not the cheapest, but as with most things in life you get what you pay for. I received great value for my money and I expect anyone who hires him will feel the same way.

Ryan helped me so much with my divorce. I had tried to do the process all on my own but realized pretty quickly that I just didn't have the knowledge. He is very personable and knowledgeable. He saved me from having to redo all of my paperwork and my divorce was finalized within a couple weeks after hiring him. I cannot thank him enough and am so happy he was recommended to me! If anything should every arise again for me I will definitely be contacting him.

Mr. Schmalzle was an amazing attorney to have worked with on my traffic violation case. He was organized, punctual, and professional in the court room which helped ease my nerves. Our communication prior to the case was detailed and Mr. Schmalzle was responsive to all of my questions and concerns providing detailed answers. I felt very prepared for our case and confident in his ability to defend my case. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal assistance.
