About
If you are looking for an attorney that will handle your case personally, rather than handing you off to a junior attorney or a paralegal, then I will be a great fit for your case. Your case is unique and inevitably you will have questions, but you can rest assured that I will answer your questions directly and quickly.
Because each case is unique, please be aware that pricing may sometimes vary from the estimated price shown on Thumbtack. Also, payment plans are available in most cases, so don't hesitate to contact me to discuss any aspect of pricing or to discuss any other questions you may have.

Ryan did an absolutely amazing job at helping me when I got my DUI. He was affordable compared to other DUI lawyers. He did an amazing job at always being available and answering any questions I had. He took care of aspects of the situation that I didn't understand, and he was able to get both of my charges dismissed. He did his research and was always prepared. I'm very fortunate that I had Ryan as my lawyer, and would absolutely recommend him to others!

I spoke with Ryan on the phone. He was very informative! He didn’t charge me for a consultation or for all of the advice he gave me. He definitely made me wish my situation was the type of cases he takes or specializes in. He pointed me in the right direction and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend him if you need legal support.

I recently hired Ryan Peterson to defend me in my DUI case. He is professional, knowledgeable and organized. Getting a DUI can be a very intimidating and even scary thing. Ryan was able to alleviate so much stress by keeping me on track and taking care of the details. He is punctual with communication and was patient with my many questions. I am so happy I spent the extra money to get a lawyer and very happy I found Ryan Peterson. Hopefully won't be needing a lawyer anytime soon but if I did, I would absolutely recommend Ryan.

Ryan was great with everything. This was my first experience hiring a lawyer to deal with a serious issue. He provided multiple scenarios and was always realistic. My DUI charge was dropped and I was able to move on with the help of Mr. Peterson.

Ryan Peterson was an amazing human being. He treated me like a human being, first off, which other lawyers (even some on this website) did not do. Although he was not able to handle my case due to mistakes I made in my past, he was able to provide me with enough guidance and information to help better and further my situation. He was kind, knowledgeable, and willing to listen and consider any possible aspect. The most outstanding part when dealing with Ryan was the fact that he actually understood what I was trying to accomplish and what I was trying to say. Most lawyers that I called that claimed they dealt with student loans as part of their portfolio, in truth, did not. Ryan, however, was willing to try my case with private student loans. Again, I declined hiring him because of mistakes I made in the past that would have made the case too risky, but once I had come to that conclusion, he offered me a plethora of options to pursue regarding my situation. Ryan Peterson is well worth your time and effort to consider if you require the services of a lawyer.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I generally charge prices for my fees on a "flat fee basis" rather than an "hourly basis" which means that you will know before hiring me how much my total fees will be for the entire case. Of course, many cases will naturally require certain out-of-pocket expenses to be paid (which will always be discussed with you prior to being incurred) but the fees I charge are set and will not increase except in the rarest of circumstances (and even then will be discussed with you in advance).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Ideally I like to speak with a prospective client to get some details about the case, but more importantly I want to make sure to advise them of some very time-sensitive steps they may need to take right away in order to protect their rights. Once I have been able to give them those tips, then we can either schedule a free consultation at my office or can discuss everything more fully over the phone.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Admitted to Colorado Bar to Practice Law in 2008.
Doctorate of Jurisprudence, Saint Louis University, 2008.
Bachelor of Arts, Colorado State University, 2005.
