Ryan Dougay

Ryan was a friend’s attorney handling his custody issues when the friend had a criminal case involving a dispute with a former business partner that he was going to have another, more «seasoned», attorney handle. After speaking about he issue with Ryan, he decided to go with him.
As someone he trusted who knew what was going on, both custody and criminal wise, and helping him stay focused through all the stress, my friend requested that I be present during their discussions and Ryan was very accommodating. He not only included me in the conversation, but was respectful and welcoming of my comments and suggestions. He was very forthcoming and direct with his counsel and recommendations on both issues.
The next week, once before the judge, he was able to walk my friend through a few snafus he had made while trying to come up with a settlement in order to work out the best deal for him and not only was able to settle the criminal case, but was able to clear up some issues my friend had with visitation at the same time. My friend also mentioned another issue that was handled as well.
It was really a blessing to have one attorney able to handle such diverse issues in one hearing and do so with my friend’s best interests in mind all the way around. He was extremely professional and considerate, and again, allowed me to speak freely on the subjects at hand without being dismissive in the least.
As someone who hasn’t needed legal representation since returning to Austin, I would definitely use Ryan if I ever find myself in a situation where I do need a lawyer.

Let’s face it. Looking for a lawyer is never fun. Chances are, if you’re searching for an attorney, it means that you’ve got something going on in your live that’s likely causing you plenty of stress. For me, connecting with Mr. Dougay has been a Godsend. He’s as sharp as they come, and has a really special way of putting his clients’ minds at ease and relieving that litigiously-​induced stress. I’ve always felt as though I have a true advocate by my side when I’ve had Mr. Dougay help me with various legal matters. (And his experience and expertise is certainly varied and extensive.) This competent advocacy is exactly what I was seeking, and exactly what I have found in Mr. Dougay. If you find yourself in need of legal help, don’t hesitate to contact him.

Great lawyer! Kept me informed, and I feel like he got me the best deal possible in my case. Mr. Dougay is awesome!

I contacted Ryan’s office while looking for a new attorney to represent me, since my last attorney wasted two months of my time, and I can’t believe how fast Ryan and his team got things back on track for me. I received a call from Ryan, we spoke of my divorce and child custody situation, and I learned more from him in a 30 minute phone conversation than I had from my old attorney in 2 months. He gave me the guidance I was needing, and in addition, I felt as if I was speaking to an old friend. That call was on a Thursday, we met at his beautiful office on Tuesday for a couple of hours, and by that Friday, he had scheduled a settlement hearing, which went better than I could have ever imagined, and now I’m looking to be divorced by next week! I am still walking on air at how lucky I was to come across Ryan Dougay. Wish he would have been representing me all along! Thanks again, Ryan… forever indebted to you!

I hired Mr. Dougay to represent me in my divorce and found a caring professional, who actually was on my side. He was a great advocate for me and gave me sound advice which resulted in extra alimony. He examined every correspondence from my husbands attorney and consulted with me on everything. I would whole heartedly recommend him to represent anyone who needed his type of service.
