I tried to consult and obtain Ryan's opinion about defamation of character lawsuits, but right off the bat, this greedy attorney asked for his $500 hourly wage, then he opened his office door and let 6 big dogs in his office barking at me and chased me off. I don't think this guy has what it takes to act like a professional lawyer. I consider him a dog shepherd and not an attorney. Buyers beware.

Hired another law firm to process my POA, because counsel, "Anna Schneider" never returned my call on 06SEP after I left a message with "Rosie" that required a follow up on 20SEP resulting in poor service and wasted my time.

In my opinion, Ryan Stearns is an evil man who destroyed our lives. He was supposed to defend us against a false claim of child support that my estranged mother began. My very elderly father with cognitive decline hired him with a specific request that he include me in communication. He rarely even communicated with my father during the case. We also never received itemized billing statements in the mail. He would call my dad to make credit card payments. In my opinion, he took advantage of an elderly person. We had little communications regarding what was going on with our case. We didn’t even know a trial was coming up until a week before. In my opinion, he didn’t prepare my very elderly father and we lost badly having to pay over 100k to this evil firm, 50k in my mom’s attorney fees and he had to pay 200k in a fake back child support claim and quit claim a property he owned. It was a loss as badly as it comes and in my opinion, it is because of the ill preparation of Ryan Stearns and poor communication from him. He didn’t get a handwriting expert for an important document. The judge thought it was forged but we were never told that this was an option to authenticate the document. We had to hire another attorney to make sure everything was iron clad with this judgment and he told us that it is not normal for an attorney to not communicate well with a client and he should have hired a handwriting expert for that type of document. My father would have paid. I do not recommend working with him. Plus, in my opinion, he went to a mediocre law school.

They charge for worthless consultations. You can hire a better lawyer without all the fees. Beware, go elsewhere.

I can't say enough nice things about the lawyers at Stearns Kim & Stearns who helped me. I knew I couldn't afford a costly divorce, and they handled it beautifully. Ryan Stearns was really helpful in explaining to me how to get our property divided and support established, and even outlined a budget to get it done. He did explain to me that he couldn't guarantee staying on this budget, since litigation can be unpredictable, but I appreciated that he was upfront and honest about that. Fortunately they were able to keep my case on budget! I really liked how straightforward Mr. Stearns’ and his lawyers were, they were all so helpful! Loe Chaelee, one of the associates and who worked closely with me, was an absolute rock star!
