The state of Illinois is tough when it comes to charges of domestic abuse. When a police officer is called to a home due to allegations of domestic violence, the officer is required to make an arrest if there is any sign of injury. The state also has a no-drop policy, which means the charges will not be dropped under any circumstances - meaning the prosecutor will not drop the charges because the alleged victim changed his or her story.

Best decision I could ever make hiring Mr. Ryan to represent me. His pricing was fair and he got my case dismissed the first court date. I didn’t even have to be present. I highly recommend his legal services.

Jim Ryan left me absolutely speechless. His professionalism, understanding and passion has lead me to be 100 percent certain that he’s the best attorney in the state! He definitely exceeded my expectations. My situation was not looking so good and I never in a million years thought I’d be so blown away by what Jim was able to arrange on my behalf. Jim Ryan literally changed my life in such a positive way and I’ll be forever grateful. Also, his staff is the best of the best. They all truly have your best interest and genuinely CARE!

I’ve had a few different lawyers and let me tell you Jim Ryan is the best I’ve had. He has gotten me incredible deals each time that would be unthinkable by other lawyers. He responds quickly and he is always on top of everything. The one of the best things about Jim is that he cares. He cares for his clients and he cares for me. Without Jim my professional career would have been ruined. Now i have a second chance at life and I owe that all to Jim. Thanks Jim Ryan!

We never thought we’d need the services of a criminal attorney but when my husband required one Jim Ryan was highly recommended. Now we know why. He made a very difficult time for us tolerable & understandable. He has great patience, was thorough in his explanations of potential outcomes, very knowledgeable of the laws & our court system, answered our questions, returned our calls & has a great office staff. Although he had many cases, he made us feel like ours was a priority. We HIGHLY recommend Jim Ryan if you are in need of a criminal attorney.
Thank you Jim!!!

Mr. Jim Ryan offers his professional experiences when it comes to represent his client. On top of that, he truly cares about his clients and explains all options clearly upfront to his clients. He will also make recommendations in the sole interest of his clients. If anyone pay you less for legal service and you lose in the court, what would that worth anything to you. So consider this is the attorney that will take your case to the best final resolution possible. I can't recommend anyone but Mr. Ryan.

Mr. Ryan is hands down the best lawyer in Illinois. He absolutely knows what he is doing. He is extremely professional, respectful, and knowledgeable. There wasn’t one moment of doubt during the two cases of mine that he handled. He and his office always responded to any of my questions promptly. If you have a chance to have him represent you take it.

I worked with Ryan and Associates in a legal issue dealing with family. Jim and his team fought tirelessly for what ended up as positive outcome. I'm retired from 25 years of Law Enforcement and I understand the court system and what makes a good attorney. That being said, Jim Ryan is an outstanding attorney. He knows how to work within the court system for a fair outcome for his clients. Jim has earned the respect of judges, other attorneys and law enforcement. That respect allows his to achieve positive outcomes. He is also willing to go to trial for his clients when it&apos
