Very proud to be a client of Ryan’s! He takes everything serious and professional but knows how to empathize and relate. I think that’s why he is a fantastic attorney. His knowledge of the law can be seen through his work! You won’t regret using him for your personal and business needs like I do.

I was totally afraid going into a child support battle without representation that I was not being heard from child support services. I reached out to Ryan and I'm very happy that I did! Ryan is a straight shooter, no pie in the sky promises that are unrealistic...he knows the legal landscape in this town and was able to negotiate before a final court date, a fair and reasonable judgement with both the opposing attorney and the state's assigned attorney. Highly recommend!!!

I was very satisfied with him as my lawyer. He is understanding and does not make false promises. He is very reasonable for his price and is worth having him on your side. I hired him to try to get custody of my son because of his living situation with his mom. Needless to say it turned in to a long and drawn out custody battle.

Ryan stuck with me for the whole time and I received more custody than I thought I would. He is excellent at communicating and does not take weeks to get back to you like some lawyers. Chances are I will be hiring him again in the future to try to get more custody. I highly recommend to hire him as your lawyer.

Ryan is always straightforward, honest, tough, and cares. Ryan not only took my call/case last minute but he also took me on in the middle of his anniversary dinner.

He's done a great job and would highly recommend him and his services.

I went into my case scared that I would get the typical "dad" time. Every other weekend and pay out the butt in child support. After the first time I talked to Ryan I knew he was the man for the job I felt really comfortable around him! He went above and beyond my expectations. I had some questions and kind story short, he was on a family vacation and he took the time to talk to me as if we were in his office! He refused to call me back when he was home. He said that my case was important him. I KNOW there is not another attorney that would do that. Thanks to Ryan I have full custody of my daughter. He handle the case with class. He doesn't bash the other person. You would be crazy to go with anyone else! CALL HIM!!!

Ryan Hanzelik what's the first lawyer I hired since I've had a divorce over 10 years ago. I definitely wish I knew about the services provided by Mr. Hanzelik upon going through my divorce but I realize now how fortunate I am to have received his services in 2018. He was responsive, timely, excellent on the subject matter and took care of my situation. I definitely recommend him for anyone who is skeptical or unsure the right person to present to represent them. I'm doing the review because I really believe in him and appreciate his time with helping a retired military veteran like myself.

Ryan treated my case with the perfect balance of wisdom, tact, analysis, experience, grace and tenacity. We got a better result than I could have imagined and l will always be grateful. I have known him for 32 years and have no doubt that he would treat a complete stranger with the same professionalism and desire to exceed expectations. He may look like a sweet young kid, but he is undoubtedly a brilliant and capable attorney, a stand up guy and good and caring man. He has cultivated a good relationship within the court system and Marion county and I would recommend him above any other to someone dealing with issues there without much of a personal connection to the community, as was my situation.

My divorce was not easy . It had every bad element a case could have. Ryan was so great during the entire experience . I feel that he always did what was best for my family . It took 3 yrs.from start to finish because of all the issues . During that time I found that Ryan Hanzelik is not just a good attorney , he is a good person . In the end he got my family more than I asked for . I will always recommend him to everyone I know and I am forever thankful I picked him.

I hired Ryan to help navigate my custody case for my son. With being blindsided by a case from my sons dad- I was incredibly anxious on what to expect. Ryan sat down with me & explained what we could do, what next steps would be depending on either decision I made & kept me informed the entire time. He put the time & effort into getting what I wanted & I’m incredibly grateful. Ryan is hilarious & always calmed my anxiety when things got tough. He made dealing with this case more relaxed, therefor I couldn’t have had a better experience from my attorney. Should I need an attorney in the future, it’ll be Ryan every time.

It was my first time having to deal with a divorce and he let me come in and we talked about what the necessary steps to take were. I was super nervous but he was very patient with me and answered every question I had. He made the whole filling process extremely fast, handled talking to the ex, answered all of her questions, and pretty much took care of everything that happened in court. Highly recommend and would use him again (hopefully not though lol).

Ryan did an awesome job handling my case. He is very knowledgeable, calculated, consistent and straight forward. He does not over promise and under deliver. I used other attorneys prior to Ryan and none of them come close to what Ryan was able to achieve in the two very difficult cases Ryan represented me in. I only wish I used Ryan from the very beginning.

I recommended Ryan to my friend and the result and experience he had was very similar to mine. I will continue to recommend Ryan to friends and family.

Great job Ryan. Keep up the good work!!

Mr. Hanzelik was amazing during my case. He went above and beyond for me at a very crucial time.. He led me step by step with what to expect at each turn..I always had an open line of communication with him whenever I had any questions.. He certainly cares about his clients.. If I ever find myself in a situation to need an attorney again I will certainly call him.. I would recommend him to anyone I know that's needs a good honest hard-working attorney that you can trust is gonna have your back.. Thank you again Ryan for everything you did for me..

I’m writing to extend my sincere gratefulness and appreciation to the diligent work of Ryan Hanzelik. Ryan never gave up on a case we never anticipated to take as long as it did. At a time in our case when things looked bleak Ryan hung in there and clearly and concisely explained to the judge the reasoning of why our case was a unique situation. The judge was so impressed by Ryan’s explanation in court he went on to compliment Ryan saying in all his time as a judge he had never heard such a well thought out explanation and that he was very impressed with Ryan’s work. This could not have been done without all of the research and time Mr. Hanzelik took preparing for our case. I will forever be thankful to Ryan Hanzelik,. because of his hard work my son has a second chance.

Ryan is an excellent attorney. He was quick to get all paperwork needed as to have no delays. He made himself more than available and willing to assist however possible. Another thing that i really liked is that from the beginning when calling into the office you are actually speaking to him. So you are getting tge advise from an attorney not from office staff

Ryan provides all the services I needed for a successful outcome in my case - he was responsive and easy to communicate with, was knowledgeable and experienced with the local system, provided clear advice and direction, and filed all the necessary paperwork on time and accurately. Ryan took electronic payment in several forms, showed respect and understanding, guided me through my options, followed through and took responsibility for important tasks, showed up on time, and performed as we had agreed upon. Highly recommended.

We were recently served with a interstate child support arrears case. Due to the complexity of our case we knew it would be best to retain an attorney. We did our research and found Attorney Ryan Hanzelik, we are so glad we did! We retained Ryan a week or two prior to our court hearing. Given the complexity of the case and the short time frame he had to work with, he immediately began to work on our case. Our case was quite complicated given there had been several other family law court cases in three different jurisdictions spanning over a period of 7 years. Ryan was able to understand the long history of court cases spanning over several jurisdictions and took action by filing a motion to dismiss the case. In result, Ryan won the case and the child support arrears case was dismissed. From the beginning to the end of our case, Ryan always made himself available and was able to answer any questions we had. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you, I highly recommend Attorney Ryan Hanzelik for any of your needs.

Ryan is a very competent attorney. He got me emergency custody when my daughter was taken out of state and then permanent custody and the right to relocate far away from mom. Do yourself a favor and hire Ryan as your attorney.

Ryan does a great job communicating and is very thorough. The judge that signed off on my legal separation said Ryan did a great job in writing the order. Overall Ryan did a great job helping me through the process.

I loved working with Ryan. Even before he got paid he stood in a courtroom and helped me when my lawyer I was firing didn't. He is not only an awesome lawyer but person. None of those petty phone calls that have no new info where you are charged $200+ an hour, and you never have to wonder whose team he is on. If you want someone to blow smoke up your butt you are in the wrong place, but if you want someone to be honest with you and unafraid to be mean to you when you are being unreasonable then this is your guy! Ryan is amazing and I recommend him to anyone who is in a nasty custody battle against someone who is completely unreasonable! Never walk into the court room alone and with Ryan at your table he will do everything but hold your hand through the entire process. No question is too dumb for Ryan to give you an answer and crack a joke to make you feel better when the nerves set in. Worth every single dime! And probably a thousand more over the next 17 years!

I have used Ryan two separate times. What he has done for me and my daughter wasn't just professional and his job, it was way above and beyond what I feel anyone else would have done and was life changing for us.

I paid Ryan for a divorce in 2009, then called it off b/c my ex wife and I were trying to reconcile. After that effort, she still wanted to go through the divorce so I called Ryan up for help. Not only did Ryan help, he said I'd already paid him for the divorce so he handled it at no additional cost to me. He could have easily charged me with it being a new case number and so much time elapsing, but he didn't.

Then, this year, I needed to try and get custody of my daughter. I called Ryan. Ryan knows I don't have a lot of money and we came up with his fee and proceeded. Ryan went through a lot of trouble and frustration before my ex finally retained counsel, who made every step of our process difficult and tedious. Ryan never asked me for anything more even though in truth, he had to put so much more time and effort into my case than I'm sure he ever imagined. Had he done what I believe most would have, which is stop and ask for more money or withdraw from the case, my daughter could still be living in a bad situation to this day. She's not and I have only Ryan to thank for that.

Ryan was always open with his communication with me, always willing to explain things to me and always willing to hear my suggestions. He offered advise, but if I insisted something, Ryan went by my wishes as long as they weren't going to hurt me. There were times Ryan would research things and send them to me simply to better inform me, which again I believe is over and above what many others would have done.

I could go on for days at what Ryan Hanzelik's work and more importantly, his compassion for my situation did for my life, but the best way I can sum it up is that I called Ryan Hanzelik to be my lawyer and ended up with him being my friend, someone I'd do about anything for and a person that left an impression with me that'll never be erased. I'll never have to think for a few minutes about what my lawyer's name was, I'll always remember what he did for me.

I'd recommend Ryan to anyone for anything and if I ever need legal services again, his number is the only one I need. He's everything you'd never expect a lawyer to be. You won't regret using him.

This guy actually cares!! He will take care of you! He answers his phone and will call you back. Ryan is not your normal attorney he is very personable. If you need someone that will look out for your neck this guy is the man!! He is very pro kids he will fight for you!

I contacted Ryan concerning a change in child custody case in early 2013. As a father, a change of child custody case with the father seeking custody is difficult, if not impossible, unless you have professional representation and competent knowledge of the law. Besides having the knowledge and experience to represent me and my child, Ryan listened attentively to my concerns, fears and wishes. Ryan even listened to me rant during the frustrating times.

Ryan explained the process to me in detail and outlined what we needed to prove for a change in child custody to occur. He is strong willed and effective when dealing with other attorney's while being professional. Ryan is concerned with the best interest of the child. The child's best interest comes first when you hire Ryan Hanzelik.

I am extremely pleased with the outcome and feel Ryan was well suited for a difficult change of custody case. Ryan is a gentleman, and he cares!
