Hired Attorney Ryan E. Lackey

Best thing I did was hire Ryan. You won’t regret your decision. I felt like he did everything he could do to help me. I was able to reach Ryan in a very reasonable time and he always helped answer any questions I had and seemed to care about me and make me feel like I just wasn’t a number.

Excellent attorney. Got me a best case scenario plea bargain. The negative reviews i have read all involve someone upset that he couldn’t get charges dismissed when they probably had strong evidence against them. He is good, but there are reasonable limits to what anyone can do. I highly recommend ryan, and god forbid i need legal assistance again, he will be the first one i call.

Ryan represented me on a marijuana possession charge in Whitley county, a place that is notorious for handing out heavy punishment. I got nothing but fines and fees. Then I violated the suspended sentence on a second marijuana possession and OWI a month later. No bond, so he couldn't help much with that. What he did do was get me sentenced with time served two months later, some community service, and a few drug and alcohol classes. Along with time credited on the license suspension, and no probation. I saw many people in court, who's lawyers charged twice as much, and didn't even show up! He is the most affordable attorney in the area, yet just as knowledgeable, if not more so than the others. He's definitely more reliable. I wish more people would understand that paying more for representation doesn't mean a thing. What matters is their skills. He's like the Tom Brady or Peyton Manning of local attorneys, yet you can sign him for far less. -review by Ryan Robbins

Hired Attorney Ryan E. Lackey

Ryan is one in a million! I hired him based on his awesome reviews. I’m so thankful for the decision I made on having Ryan represent me. With COVID my case had been delayed for a year. He really seemed like he cared about me and my future. I never had to wait long for him to return my calls or text. So a year had passed and charges were pressed on me. In a panic I called Ryan on a Friday night and he got right back to me even though he was out to dinner with his family. I honestly didn’t expect to hear from him until Monday. Keep in mind I paid him over a year ago. My whole job, life and kids were on the line! Ryan literally saved me! He went above and beyond and my outcome was better than I anticipated! I will always be grateful for what Ryan has done for me! I have my life back and my future is looking good for my family and I. I wanted to write this review in the hopes to help someone else and to thank Ryan for all he has done for me! Thank you Ryan!!!!!!!!!

I've hired Me. Lackey on a couple different occasions. He's competent, reliable and cares about his clients. I recommend him to anyone I know that needs good representation. His office phone number is his cell phone number so there's no answering machine waiting to be checked. All in all he's a pretty awesome guy.

Hired Attorney Ryan E. Lackey

I hired Mr. Lackey after I was pulled over for speeding and driving while suspended, and since I was on probation for an OWI last year, they charged me for violating my probation, because the driving while suspended was a misdemeanor. Ryan was able to get my speeding ticket dropped a 56 in a 35, and he got the ows dropped to an infraction, which I got the infraction deferral program so it doesn't go on my record they then re-referred me back onto probation, he did this all for a good price.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
