I am a poor single mother who happens to also be disabled. I have had Mr. Lackey represent me as a public defender and he lies, manipulates and threatens in order to resolve government funded cases. Poor people recieve poor representation guilty or not.

Hired Attorney Ryan E. Lackey

Having him as my sons attorney was a nightmare. He like my son's juvenile record to be brought up my son was sentenced to five years in prison with 2 suspended. He did not take the time to explain everything to my son. Ryan Lackey lacks as an attorney. I don't know who he got to put all these prices on his page but he is not a good attorney. He works for the prosecution.

Hired Attorney Ryan E. Lackey

Inadequate representation. Did not get some of the charges dismissed after he said he would. Did not even explain why he didn't get charges dismissed. Horrible communicator. Did not return any of my phone calls and never answered the phone even once when I called. He does not have a secretary. I called dozens of times at all hours of the day and he never answered. He didn't speak up and I had to do all the talking in court.

Hired Attorney Ryan E. Lackey

If you end up with Ryan E. Lackey as a public defender dismiss him. He will lie and deceive you. He won't tell you there is a flaw in the case or really fight your case. He likes to make horrible plea deals and convince his client it is the best thing to do. He never even read my case, and tried to argue that I am going to lose when I go to trail, when I obviously didn't lose my case when I went to trail. Don't use this Lawyer. All he wants is the $100 and pass you to the Probation/Jail system.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
