Will was recommended to me by another lawyer when my husband was looking for someone in the Chicago area to assist with custody paperwork. His original divorce was in Michigan and we had to transfer the child support to Illinois before we could file updated paperwork for my step-son to move to Ohio with us full time. Will was awesome to work with. We had to do everything exclusively online and he made sure we knew exactly what we needed to do and when and helped us get everything completed in time for my step-son to start school here at the beginning of the year. Attorney fees are always pricey but Will was extremely fair with his pricing and billing and helped us keep our costs as low as possible. He was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate a rather complex situation given the 3 different states involved. I would highly recommend Will to anyone going through a divorce/custody case. You will get your money’s worth!

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Jordan Rosenberg and Mr. Will Ryan post divorce to enforce some of what was agreed upon in the decree and I could not have been more impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to my case!
Both lawyers were always available to answer my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire legal process. I felt confident and supported by them and I wish I had them back when I filed. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a fair and kind lawyer during a very stressful time.
