Hired Attorney 2017-2019Attorney Ryan's intelligence, experience, and knowledge of the law are unparalleled. When those attributes are combined in an attorney who truly cares for your best interests, the feeling of support is tangible. In a field sometimes devoid of honesty and compassion, Attorney Ryan stands out as an example of true integrity. His team matches his character, and I can truly say that I enjoyed going into the offices of Witmer, Karp, Warner & Ryan LLP, despite the circumstances! I value beyond measure the support, kindness, and guidance, I was shown all along the way and cannot recommend Steven and Witmer, Karp, Warner & Ryan LLP highly enough.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
