Kept me out of jail on my retail fraud case. Explained to me everything that was going to happen ahead of time so I could have a better understanding on how the process was. Answered all my phone calls and texts. He did a great job on getting a good outcome on my case, resulting in no jail, no probation, just a $750 fine. Highly recommend Ryan!

He is my sons atterney at this moment and im hoping he can help my son a little more. as my son is in a facility at this moment waiting sentencing. I hope he has read all and can help my son more in his case. As my son has payed all due. I will come back to this site hopefully to rate it a five star and good review after my sons sentencing if he gets sentenced. I believe ihe is innocent. Thank you
Conclusion Hoped for the best, expected the worst. Not what the ending should of been like. But better than expected under the circumstances. I’ll rate at 3 1/2 stars. Thank you for your work.

I endorse Mr. Maesen. He's handled serious felony and misdemeanor cases with skill and made sure his clients are informed every step of the way throughout the legal process.
Ryan Maesen represented me in some legal matters before the 61st court and he was very effective counsel in all matters related to my case(s).
I attended school with Ryan (both grade and high school) and he was always one of the smartest kids in our class. I have known him for over 30 years and I have always known him to be honest, fair and a very good person. Ryan works very hard for his clients and is very knowledgeable of the law. He has a lot of experience and knows how to navigate the system.
I would recommend Ryan Maesen to a friend and I will use him again if I need any legal assistance in the future. The money I spent with Ryan was money well spent. It allowed me to sleep better. I also will add that Ryan was very fair in his billing and I am confident other attorneys would have billed much more for the same services rendered.
I was impressed that Ryan did not back down when an Attorney for the City of Grand Rapids threatened me with further legal issues if I did not do what they wanted. He stood between me and the nasty lady from the City's Office. I am thankful that people like Ryan protect citizens from such harassment in the justice system. Cheers Ryan!

Pros: Mr. Maesen is nice, personable easy to talk to as a lawyer, and doesn't come off judgemental. On Ryan maesen's personal website, mr.maesen has a link where you can see the outcomes of cases that he represented. The number of reported trial " wins" he had as a defense criminal attorney was impressive; bc i was looking for an experienced trial attorney for my case, is what made me want to hire him as my defense criminal lawyer. Cons: Before he would take me on as a client, I had to pay his full retainer amount up front ( which covered the costs if I were to take my case to trial). Secondly, I felt like ultimately he could of done more work for my case than what he did. After about a week of hiring him, i felt pushed to settle for a plea deal bc he had told me there wasn't enough time for him to prepare for a trial. In hindsight I felt he did good job selling himself as an attorney- which is why I hired him. However after I paid him , I felt he wanted to invest as little of his time as possible on my case and his work load to a minimal. With all that said I wouldn't hire him as your attorney if you are facing a misdemeanor and/ or felony criminal charges.

Mr. Maesen really helped me out of a jam. He is a very good attorney. Professional, knowledgeable, unapologetic are just a few words I would use to describe him.
After finding myself on the wrong end of an overzealous and sketchy police officer, the city attorney's office seemed to take great pleasure in giving me the full petty beurocratic treatment. Mr. Maesen stepped in and stopped the nonsense.
Suddenly "evidence" was missing or destroyed. The officer avoided testimony, knowing he could no longer make up his version of events.
Case dismissed!
Fight everything and hire Ryan Maesen.
Thanks for all your help Mr. Maesen.

Great lawyer. I had a assault and battery case. They were trying to give me 93 days in jail and he got me off with community service and fines. Highly recommended.

I was facing serious federal and state charges out of some bad choices I made. He worked tirelessly to get me home ASAP. He was also great with keeping my family informed of the status of my case. Can't say thank you enough.

Can't say enough. I had very serious charges that I did not do. The worst stuff a person can be accused of. He worked his you know what off to get the case dropped at the preliminary exam. Worth every penny.

Very attentive to my case! Kept me informed on everything and most importantly treated me like an individual. Would definitely recommend him. Oh and by the way my case was dismissed. Thanks Ryan!

Got them to drop my domestic violence charge at the pretrial. I was so relieved. I can't believe they charged me in the first place but I am glad it is over. Thank you!

Took care of my retail fraud with the utmost professionalism. Answered all my questions, returned me calls, and listens to my side of the story. Kept me out of jail so I could keep working.

Always called me back. Had my back the entire way. Navigated me through a very difficult time. You get what you pay for and to me, my freedom was well worth the cost.

This guy really impressed me through the whole case. His ability listen to me and make me feel like he was in my corner is why I went wit him. A lot of other lawyers did nothing but talk about themselves and then asked for a big pile of money. This guy did the opposite and he delivered a great outcome for me case.

Ryan is the man! We had a wild and unforeseen family situation happen, and he not only helped us navigate it every step of the way, but he really comes thru in the court room, going above and beyond. Call this guy!
