Ryan Barr

Attorney at Law

Hello, my name is Ryan. I am an estate planning and probate attorney. I understand that each person has their own understanding of estate planning, powers of attorney, post death administration, and probate. It's my job as an attorney and counselor to make sure I ask questions and listen to answers so I can provide effective and comprehensive solutions to each individual.

Why I Practice Law

I like problem solving, so if you know exactly what you need from me, I am going to do my best to deliver that. I'm also an empathetic person who can relate to people. I can sense when people are finding their situation challenging. In those situations, I am going to take extra time to educate and guide those clients through the legal process.

I'm very proud of the number of repeat clients and referrals that I have received as an attorney. There is no higher compliment than to be asked to prepare an estate plan by an adult child of a past client, or a Personal Representative on a recently completed probated matter. Thank you.

Fun Fact

During my free time I enjoy spending time and cooking for my wife and young daughter. My daughter is only seven years old, but it amazes me how quickly she is growing up.
