Ryan was wonderful. He solved my problem with a roofing company that damaged my property. Ryan represented me when they were trying to intimidate to settle for less than I deserved. I highly recommend him to help fight any business. Thanks Ryan!!

Peter Smith JrA Fierce Advocate Who Gets Results – Highly Recommend! I can’t speak highly enough of Attorney Ryan Hickman. When my home improvement project was abruptly abandoned by a contractor after taking a large deposit, I was left in a stressful and frustrating situation. I reached out to Mr. Hickman — and he immediately swung into action. Within hours, he reviewed my contract, gathered the evidence, and crafted a powerfully worded demand letter that laid out every legal violation with precision. His letter not only demonstrated his deep knowledge of contract law, but it also sent a crystal-clear message: I had serious legal representation, and I was prepared to act. The result? The contractor, who had been ignoring me for weeks, suddenly returned to the site and began completing the work — exactly what I needed, without the need to go to court. Ryan is sharp, responsive, and aggressive in the best way. He was professional, clear in his communication, and genuinely cared about protecting my interests. If you’re looking for a lawyer who gets things done and doesn’t waste time, Ryan is your guy. Thank you, Ryan, for turning a nightmare into a win.
