“I have counted on Virginia Ryan to help me through the process of starting my technology business. She has guided me through start-up, funding, partnership and IP development issues. Her advice has been critical in helping me protect my business and structure relationships with partners. Most importantly, Virginia is one of the nicest people I’ve met, which makes it very pleasant to do business and work with her. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her to my friends and colleagues.”
“Virginia Ryan was recommended to me by a dear friend, whose organization had engaged her help in obtaining a 501(c)(3) status. My friend was certain I would be happy not only with Virginia Ryan’s exceptional skill as an attorney, but also her genuine kindness. My friend did not say enough. I engaged Ms. Ryan’s help in establishing a nonprofit or 501(c)(3) organization. At the time I approached her I had an idea only. I needed assistance in every aspect of setting up a nonprofit from applying to the IRS, to copyrighting the name. There was so much I didn’t know and Virginia Ryan never once made me feel foolish or ignorant. She was always patient with me and so enthusiastic about the goals of the nonprofit. Her obvious knowledge of law and ability to explain things clearly always made me feel safe taking on new legal areas. I would trust Virginia Ryan with any legal area she took on and recommend her enthusiastically.”
“What can I not say about Virginia Ryan? As CEO of my own company, I have had the pleasure of working with Virginia for two years. She started helping us by reviewing all of our contracts as a trusted advisor. After much misguidance by other counsel we were able to convince Virginia to play a larger role and to become our lead counsel. We’ve never looked back. Virginia’s attention to detail continues to be ever prominent with each contract we write and sign. Her calm nature always puts my partners and I at ease. The level at which her patience stands while explaining every detail, often repeatedly, is remarkable. While I would prefer that Virginia stay with just us as her sole client, I understand her desire to help other companies like ours find their way. Virginia is a very educated and talented attorney who cares a great deal about her clients.”
