Welcome to James P. Ryan Esq., Attorney and Counselor at Law

Hello, and welcome to my website! I hope that you find answers to your questions here, along with other useful information. If you are looking for an attorney, this website may help you decide if I am right for you. My office is located in downtown Plymouth, one block west of Main Street. I am usually in my office from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, but I meet with clients later than that and on Saturdays when necessary.
I proudly reached the 60 year old mark several years ago, and have been an attorney for over 35 years. For more information about me, read my biography. Most of my work is billed on a time-spent basis at $250.00 per hour.

I am, and have been for more than 30 years, rated “AV” by Martindale-Hubbell®, and take my professional and ethical responsibilities seriously.

Most of my clients are referred to me by my other clients and by attorneys who know me and the kind of work I do. Most of my clients have a family law problem that they need help with. I also help many people each year with real estate transactions, with their estate planning needs, and with other matters such as small business formation. When my clients have a problem in an area of law that I do not handle, I help them find a good attorney who does. Of course, I truly appreciate those referrals, as it shows satisfaction with my work, and confidence in my ability to help people.

I work alone – without legal assistants or clerks. My clients all get very personal service directly from me. I know from experience that my clients want ready access to me, a prompt response and competent advice that is tailored to their specific situation. And they want it in plain language. My goal is to give my clients my best at all times: satisfied clients come back again, and they also send their friends and family members!

I hope you enjoy my website. If one of the links you choose keeps you from returning, just remember my name and you can get here again!
