"To say James Ryan saved my life and the lives of everyone in the family is not an exaggeration. There are many ways to live a slow death and suffering from medical malpractice is just one. Because of successful litigation, we are able to go on with our lives and make the best of a tough situation.
In 1997, I was getting ready to deliver my fourth child. The doctors assured me that I could have a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). To make a long and sad story short, my son was delivered by emergency C-section but the doctors had waited too long. He was not breathing and had no heartbeat. By the grace of God my son survived and after weeks in the NICU was finally released to come home.
What followed was the most difficult year of my life. I was torn between being thankful my son was alive and tormented because of the disabilities I saw emerging as he grew. We knew we needed to do something when our medical insurance started denying things. We found ourselves stuck with huge expenses.
We found James Ryan through another parent of a disabled child. He was heaven sent and knew exactly how to go about this process. I felt confident that he had my son's best interests at heart. He proceeded in a methodical manner and kept us informed with copies of every document he sent out. He was professional in every facet of our experience. He knew the ins and outs of this process. I have no doubt that without Mr. Ryan on our case, we would have been put through all sorts of stalls and deceptions.
Two years later, I can tell you without a doubt that Mr. Ryan is still the attorney I recommend to anyone I meet. Everything has been set up in such a logical and user-friendly way that I bless Mr. Ryan on a regular basis. He knows what he is doing. Having the financial freedom to provide for my child without it draining the family makes our lives livable. I encourage anyone to pursue this avenue to protect your future. "

"On behalf of my son and myself, I would like to take the time to express our thanks to Anne Brown. My son was born with a congenital heart defect but the military doctors did not diagnose it until he was several weeks old and by then it was too late, he had suffered terrible brain damage. Not knowing where to turn, and struggling as a single parent, I found Anne Brown. While working with her I witnessed her impeccable professionalism, dedication, tenacity, and relentless efforts to help us although we're over 1,000 miles apart.
In addition to that, she flew across the country to meet with me and my son, in person, on numerous occasions. Through my most difficult times of adversity, she provided emotional support that has been very important to me. As a result of Anne Brown, my son Marco has lifetime medical care that I couldn't afford. I recommend her to any person who's searching for "excellent" legal representation."

"Six years ago a military doctor told us our 10-week-old fetus had suffered 'an early fetal demise.' He recommended and performed a D & C; our daughter survived and was born six months later. A very determined and spirited infant with multiple physical and medical problems, all created by one medical mistake. She survived four months in intensive care, numerous orthopedic surgeries and five years with a tracheotomy. She still eats all her food with a tube in her stomach.
Today, our daughter is a bright, energetic 5-year-old. She walks with braces and a walker. A surgeon removed her trach this past summer so now we can finally hear her talk and giggle. She starts regular kindergarten in the fall.
It took more than three years to settle the medical malpractice case. We contacted Jim Ryan after hearing how he helped other military families with medical malpractice cases. Jim was our lifesaver. He and his staff were always genuinely concerned about our daughter's health as well as how the rest of the family was dealing with a seriously disabled child. Jim Ryan stuck by us when the military medical community tried to shift the blame. He also creatively structured our settlement to insure we will have the financial resources to insure our daughter's future is as comfortable as possible. Jim has my utmost respect as a person and I would highly recommend him as an attorney."

Our son was born with a permanent shoulder injury named Brachial Plexus Injury. This injury was the result of inadequate care in the delivery room, and he will never have full control of his arm. It was a very frustrating and traumatic time which took a lot out of our family to heal from emotionally. Jim Ryan and his law firm assisted us in a critical time by ensuring this case had minimal impact on the family, so that we could concentrate solely on our son. Our case was finally settled satisfactorily with the defendant. We are thoroughly satisfied and grateful to Jim for his work during a difficult time in our lives. If we were to give a recommendation, Jim Ryan and his staff would be our preferred law firm of choice!!!
