Not Guilty Verdict I had the honor to hire Ryan Ramsayer as my DUI (OWI) attorney. I contacted Ryan right after a warrant was issued for my arrest following 3 months after the incident in which I was accused of my DUI. Ryan immediately began working and got me a court date via zoom (due to COVID-19). Warrant was removed, I attended my court date and receive pre-trial date. After a series of pre-trial court dates, the data master (breathalyzer machine results) was suppressed due to falsification of the machine being certified and the police department knowing this while continuing to use the machine. This was a direct result of Ryan doing his job at the level of excellence. During trial Ryan stated the facts and emphasized the fact that a field sobriety test was not done correctly, in which during cross examination the arresting officer admitted to not doing the test to standard. The jury found me not guilty based on the facts and the closing argument which summed up the facts along with the totality of circumstances. Beyond a reasonable doubt, the prosecution attempted to convict me on inaccurate tests in which Ryan was not going to let happen. Throughout the whole process, Ryan maintained contact and answered my call 100% of the time. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer or better result.

Without a doubt I'd hire him again- of course I'd rather not have to I found the Barone Defense Firm on a Google search, years ago. I had two DUI's dating back nearly a decade ago, and I decided it had been long enough. As someone who has had to wear a tether, attend drops, and blow into an ignition interlock device- I become complacent. People stuck on this hamster wheel begin to think this is normal, and as long as you can drive where you need to, why rock the boat? When the state keeps you trapped in a cycle of paying monthly, you just factor it into the rest of what you pay to live. I realized, I needed desperately to get out of that broken system. When it came to finding a lawyer to represent me- I spoke with several. A lot were sleazy right off the bat. Some would throw statistics at me. Others would talk as if they were waving their trophies. I wanted someone who would be serious, listen to my individual case and not treat me like another number or statistic. I needed a lawyer who simply believed in me. Mr. Ramsayer is everything you'd like a lawyer to be- he is extensively knowledgeable, understanding and expedient. In terms of communication, I was always able to reach Mr. Ramsayer for any questions- any missed calls were promptly returned. He was professional and direct in outlining the entire process, and steps I had to complete on my own. On March 10, we were successful in our case. I was able shortly thereafter to have my license fully reinstated and have the ignition interlock device removed. Thanks to Mr. Ramsayer, I am now able to get a part of my life back that I had been missing for such a long period. To anyone who is stuck in the same predicament I had been in, I strongly urge you to take the time to reach out to the Barone Defense Firm and ask for Ryan. You will be absolutely grateful you did.
