Jim Ryan's reputation in the community and the quality of legal help he has provided to individuals I know and trust are exemplary, and I would recommend him to anyone requiring sophisticated estate and business planning.

Knowing my estate planning might become complicated and include a deadline, I researched and interviewed the attorneys who had been recommenced carefully. I choose James W. Ryan based on his experience and professional, yet supportive approach. To amend my will and trust, he listened carefully, pointing out options and alternatives to consider in making choices and structured the documents to meet my goals. His clear explanations demystified the process.

With a wide range of expertise available in house, Jim suggested and set in motion a team approach to meet the deadline. Everyone was friendly, capable, and efficient. Fees were clearly estimated, transparent and in line with what others quoted. I always felt my best interest was the guiding principle, and again, choices were outlined. It’s easy to understand why Frazer, Ryan, Goldberg has been voted a best place to work in Arizona. My estate planning came together quickly, completely, and on time: value for the dollar.

Since then, I’ve sought answers to other business questions, knowing he’ll quickly reply with good advice. His succinct, professional approach and humor is appreciated. Judging by the numbers of honors and awards he’s received over the years, his skills are evident. As a client, I highly recommend Jim Ryan.

I’m very disappointed in the estate planning services received from James W. Ryan. I was originally quoted $4 to $6,000 on the plan. It turns out I was billed over $12,000 and now I am going to have to start over with someone else. I would make sure you ask for clients he has actually helped in the past and check his references before you go forward using him. I wish I would have talked to past clients before going forward with him.
