The BEST FAMILY Law Attorney I have ever worked with.1 year ago I was blindsided with a separation and custody battle. It all started with my ex wanting to leave making false child abuse and domestic abuse claims against me.She was threatening to have me never see the kids and specifically telling me that she would destroy my life.Ryan Dougay was highly recommended from multiple attorney friends of mine. I walked into his office thinking I was totally ruined financially, in my relationship with my kids and with my reputation.Ryan went above and beyond. He came up with multiple strategies implemented them and within 8 weeks I was in a position to get full custody of my children.That being said, Ryan also helped pull in the reins of resentment and divorce frustration and guide me on making the best choice for myself, family and kids in a post divorce world.As it was told to me 1 year ago - I you have a case that can be won, Ryan will win it.100% Truth

I highly recommend Ryan Dougay for custody issues. My daughter hired him to represent her in custody of her 2 children. As a mother fighting for her children and a grandmother having to watch, it was a very difficult time. After meeting with Ryan, he put our minds at ease. He gave us straight forward answers and explained what would happen. He believed in my daughter and had my granddaughters best interest at heart. My daughter got her girls back and if it wasnt for Ryan, she would still be fighting to see them. If you are reading this review, you are searching for a great attorney to fight for your children, I would call Ryan. I am so happy and relieved that we did.

Hire him..hes worth every penny

I was extremely fortunate to have been referred to Ryan. Once I hired him my confidence immediately skyrocketed and the outcome was far better than I could have ever imagined. If a friend of yours referred you to Ryan, then they have just given you a lifeline.

I highly recommend Ryan as a competent, skilled, and effective family law attorney. Going through a divorce is never going to be a fun experience, but Ryans extensive knowledge of Texas family law and good humor made my own personal journey much easier and productive than I had anticipated being possible. He presented me with clear and understandable options that, ultimately, led to a good and fair outcome for both concerned, and also helped me navigate a process that, without his assistance, would have been otherwise even more painful and challenging. You would be wise to consider him if you find yourself having to face such a difficult life change.

We have hired Ryan four times now two times to fight false protection orders that were filed against us and once to seek one ourselves. the fourth time was to seek a modification a child parent relationship suit we were able to prevail all four times Ryan is an excellent attorney who is smart honest and reliable he was quick to let us know when something has changed in our case and to rely information as needed Ryan was an excellent attorney and was able to block an object to all the illegal evidence and protect us and keep us safe he has truly changed the course of our lives for the better and has protected us he is the kind of man that you want on your side if you are facing false allegations or trying to protect you or your I couldnt recommend him more. I will never higher a different lawyer.

Ryan is an amazing lawyer, person, and role model. He helped me in my case to execute a strategy, given my situation was very tough, and complicated. He was able to get a writ of attachment which is rare. As well as 50/50 custody. Ryan was extremely helpful, answering all of my questions. I really felt that I was in good hands when I hired Ryan. I would definitely recommend Ryan 100%

Amazing Lawyer! Takes time to personally go over your case and prepare you, not just take your money. He worked hard for my wife and I to get two protective orders against us and a custody case resolved. It was ruled a direct verdict in our favor! Never seen anything like it. Would hire again.

Me.Dougay did everything he could to help me with my custody case. He’s gentle and understanding all while very good at his job. He helped me at a time when I was struggling. I owe this man a lot more than a Thank You. Wonderful attorney!

So I have to say I am super glad I chose his law firm and Ryan which represented my case because not only was he thorough he was good he knew what he was doing he covered all the points that I needed in this case and on top of that he got me full custody of my daughter I could not be more happier I definitely recommend Ryan and his Law firm to anyone that needs a good family attorney!!!! Ryan thank you so much for getting me my daughter full-time and saving her the same time thank you !!❤️ My name is Thomas Macon Again if there’s anyone out there looking for an attorney that knows his stuff that he knows what he’s doing that is great at what he does you better call Ryan Lawyer Dougay!

Great lawyer! I used Mr. Dougay for my divorce a couple of years ago, and I feel like he always kept me informed, and that he got me the best deal possible in my case. Mr. Dougay is awesome! I hope I never have to, but would definitely use him again.

Ryan worked out a difficult negotiation for me. He was always there to help and answer questions. I would highly recommend his honesty and integrity and work ethic. He did a difficult job for me at a very reasonable price and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Rarely do you find an attorney who actually cares about you and the case. Ryan Dougay is that kind of attorney! When he talks to you, you feel like you are talking to a friend first, attorney second. Ryans expertise and knowledge are just the cherry on top!

Mr. Dougay was superb from the start to the end. He was knowledgable and compassionate. He was able to settle our case with the best possible results with unexpected expediency. We are so grateful and so impressed. Highly recommending Ryan Dougay!

Ryan Dougay is a fabulous lawyer and a good friend. I have hired him for multiple issues and consulted with him on issues pertaining to possible cases. He has always been honest with me and never steered me in the wrong direction. One of the best qualities about him and one of the reasons I call him a friend is, when I filed for divorce he wasn’t the typical money hungry shark. Ryan helped my wife and I reconnect and re kindle our marriage vs push me to go through with the suit. Needless to say I dropped the divorce. I have and will continue to refer him to anyone that needs a lawyer.

This guy really helped me out when I didnt know what to do. He managed to get sole custodial rights for me and my daughter. I will never forget.

No one ever wants to have to hire an attorney to represent them in family matters but if you do, this is the person you want representing you! Ryan Dougay listens and really works hard to resolve your issue compassionately, timely and effectively. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case which we were able to resolve without going to court - bonus! Mr. Dougay was comfortable to work with which really eased the stress of this situation. Thanks again Ryan! I highly recommend Ryan Dougay.

Ryan is a great resource and is always honest and straight-forward about what he can help with and what he cant (and if he cant, hes always happy to provide a good referral). Having a great attorney like Ryan in your corner is always reassuring.

As a military father i would of thought my chances of getting any custody with my daughter was slim to none. As a Male in Texas i thought about giving up and assume i wouldnt have any chance of custody of my daughter. Ryan had stood by my side regardless of any past negative records held against me and fought till the end. Ryan has been my lawyer for three whole years and with much patience I now have custodial custody of my 9yr old daughter who suffered enough back and forth for so long. You dont want a lawyer who will always make you feel like your going to win a case so you give them your money, you want a lawyer who will tell you exactly how it is good news, bad news or worst case scenario. At first i wanted to get a Divorce, custody over with as soon as possible, but Ryan encouraged me to be patient and with much endeavor, it was for the best. His staff is very friendly and resourceful in Ryans absence in court and i would highly recommend anyone i know to Ryan for a Family Lawyer.

I hired Ryan on a modification and enforcement suit. He was very professional and aggressive. He was very efficient and got the result I needed for me and my children.

I have been extremely impressed with my experience while working with Ryan Dougay. He is very driven to fight for his clients. I was caught in a terrifying situation and felt I had done everything I possibly could to protect myself.I was recommended to Ryan via my boyfriend’s current lawyer who was also involved with the respondent for family court issues. I met with Ryan and gave him 5 months’ worth of harassing, threatening, and terrifying information that I had received from this individual. 5 months of nonstop one-way communication, emails, text messages, social media posts, etc. everything you can possibly think of, the file was so large I had to contain it all in a zip file. The email communications were sent to numerous parties where other individuals were also being targeted and attacked by the respondent. Ryan agreeing to take this case on to help protect me meant that he would be putting himself in the crosshairs of this individual. He efficiently reviewed everything, organized it all, and stayed in contact with me frequently so I knew what next steps we were taking together to move forward. He obtained an ex-parte protective order for me and prepped me that stalking protective orders aren’t the easiest to win. Our trial was an all-day event and the respondent had subpoenaed individuals. Ryan was so well prepared that he had files already ready with questions to ask her witnesses. He was able to ask the respondents witnesses questions that only hurt her defense. At the end of our trail we were granted a 17-year protective order not only on the grounds of stalking but also on the evidence of family violence and the judge also granted us attorney’s fees!His thorough understanding of Texas law is commendable. He knew all of the right avenues to approach for not one particular kind of protective order but two. He is so well versed in family law and criminal that he was able to morph these together to get me the best possible outcome. The fact that he agreed to get involved and risked being caught in the crosshairs of the respondent’s constant disregard for law enforcement, current court rulings, and nonstop harassing communication, stalking, and threats is admirable. I am forever grateful to him for his dedication and hard work. I would recommend him over and over again to anyone in need of help. He has proven to me that he will do everything he can to get the right outcome and ensure safety when it is needed. Thank you, Ryan!

Editing this review:I did not like this lawyer, one that lies to his own client and that you cant get a hold of. I am sure if you didnt have a payment agreement and cash up front you would be treated better.My original review was 2 stars, then it was made 4 because they contacted me about it while on my case.. Yep told me to change my review.Now here is the honest one.

Over the past several years. attorney.Ryan Dugay, has represented my family in several cases, in both civil and criminal law matters. He is knowledgeable and dedicated to attainment of the best outcome for his client. He listens to his clients and family members then proceeds to explain the good point AND the downside to your case. Which is EXACTLY what you need, an attorney who is brutally honest.Mr. Dugay does not have a fancy office and large staff to serve his clients refreshments. However, he makes up for this with his legal expertise and respectful conduct with his clients.Mr. Dugay,s demeanor is friendly, salt of the earth and soft spoken. But he is fierce where it counts, in court and negotiations. I have no reservations about his skills and wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Dugay for both.civil and criminal matters.

I had to deal with a difficult time in my life Ryan helped me adjust and guide me . I will pass on his name as often as needed .
