Testimonials
Former client: Attorney Ryan Shervey and his staff were excellent to work with throughout my divorce and child custody/placement case. I would recommend them to anyone. Ryan is straightforward, knowledgeable, gets results and has your back. He has a certain edge/sass to him that I also really appreciated.

Consultation: Ryan Shervey gave me an unbiased consultation for divorce and family court. Rather than making a ‘money grab’ he truly gave me the correct advice for my situation. I will definitely be back for future endeavors.

Former client: I have used Ryan and Ashley for the last couple of years and have found them to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. From the beginning, Ryan helped me understand each step and work through questions and concerns that I have. I would recommend him and the team to anyone.

Former client: I just wanted to send you an email thanking you again for your time today. I feel a sigh of relief knowing I have you as myself and my son’s attorney!
