If you're reading this it means you are about to face a big change in your life. One that you may not be ready for. One that you just can't lose due to what you have at stake. You're looking for the right person to be by your side. That was me when I was filing for divorce.

I had met with several lawyers before a friend referred me to Ryan. It was just so intimidating speaking to the others about such personal details. I mean, after all they were complete strangers! Stepping in to Ryan's office you're greeted by a gentle little Terrier named Sam, who helps to put you at ease. For me, it felt more like visiting an old friend. When Ryan and I met, I could tell he really cares about his clients.

During the whole process, his office was upfront on costs, about any delays we may face while we waited for a court date, and about court itself. He prepared me for multiple outcomes.

Were there times I couldn't get a hold of Ryan? Well yeah, there were a few but considering he has court throughout South Carolina it is understandable. He usually replies within 24-72 hours, and even when he was on a family vacation. If it was an urgent question, I would call the office to speak with his paralegal Julie. She was always patient with my questions. Believe me, there was a lot. The whole team is very compassionate.

They deal with divorce everyday but never once made me feel that I was "just a case". They understand this is your life. But like you, it all started with me looking at reviews. The good and the bad. I followed my gut and have never regretted hiring him as my lawyer. Best of luck to you on your case.

Mr. Lane was my divorce lawyer. He had my best interest in mind and helped me bring my divorce to a good end. He was very reasonably priced and helped answer all my questions. I would 100% use him again in the future if needed and would recommend him to anyone looking for a competent lawyer who will put your best interest first and will also help you get what you want without breaking the bank and charging for every little email or question. Thank you Mr. Lane!

If you are looking for an attorney, look no further than Ryan Lane. He is the utmost professional, prompt to respond, trustworthy and reliable. I have known him personally for at least a decade and when I needed a divorce, he was the first person who came to mind. I highly recommend this lawfirm as Ryan is the best in the business. His legal fees are fair and affordable, his expertise in the field is remarkable.

I had a custody case and another attorney never really thought i had a case. I went to ryan and the first think that was said after he looked at the information is "you got a case." I went with Ryan and he did everything he said he would and could do, he did. Ryan is absolutely amazing. He is a straight forward, to the point lawyer. He knows his practice and he knows how to get results! Through out the entire process he has been there to answer the questions, directed us on what we needed to do. We were lucky when he was recommended to us we decided to do a consultation with him. Needless to say he delivered on every aspect of what he told us he would! We hope not to have to use his services again, however if we do, he will be the only one we go to! His staff are also amazing!

I am thankful for Mr. Lane fighting on my behalf and settling my case. Without his help I'd be drowning in hospital debt that was out of my control. He's truly there for the person and if I'm ever unlucky enough to get hit by a car again, I'd go right back to him.

Ryan is a true professional in every sense of the word. I went to him with a very complex divorce case that also involved a completely false criminal charge. He did everything in his power to not only get me away from a vindictive spouse, but also recommended a personal friend to address my legal issues. If you need an attorney who will always have your back, and is an absolute, relentless beast in the courtroom, you need Ryan Lane. Highly recommend!!!

Ryan Lane was very kind hearted and took my situation seriously regardless of my young age or income. He was respectful to everybody involved in my case and in the end, he got me what I truly needed. Truly blessed to a have great lawyer like him in Columbia SC!

Ryan has worked with me on two separate cases both civil litigation involving children. I was awarded full custody in both cases. As a man years ago custody would not have been possible and the system still has sort of a backwards slant against men, but with a good attorney you can fight that system as long as you have the truth on your side. If you're a military veteran he will do his best to look out for you as well. He loves to cater to military vets who have troubles like this and it seems to follow us vets around for some reason. Just be smart and don't do anything stupid to make it harder for him to do his job and you'll be alright.

I am a restate investor. Over 15 years ago I was introduced through the bank to Mr. Lane to handle the closing. He was 1 of the nicest attorney's I've had the pleasure to work with. He was very respectful of my time and discussed the details of the HUD closing statement thoroughly at a cost less previous attorneys.

Another thing that was impressive, Mr. Lane operates his profession as a solo firm. He doesn't belong to a law firm to save on legal expenses at the expense of others.

Since that initial closing, Mr. Lane has become my personal attorney specializing in Landlord tenant actions and other legal matters.

He is extremely knowledgeable and a "bulldog" representative on the few times when court proceedings were required. I recall 1 such case that involved 2 prominent local defendant attorney's that refused to make a final payment for services rendered. Mr. Lane was awesome, considering legal action against 2 attorneys. His knowledge, presentation, examination and cross-examination resulted in the attorneys so "beaten" in their lies, they did not know whether to scratch their watch or wind their butts afterwards. The jury was so impressed, I was awarded legal costs in addition to the full amount of damages. Unfortunately, since this was handled in magistrate court, the defendants were able to file a motion to have his legal fees removed from their judgement.

Mr. Lane also combined my many businesses into a S Corp for tax purposes. This has saved my business money in tax fees and expenses.

Mr. Lane has many connections in the legal profession. This networking allows him to utilize these resources to become a dominate local attorney.

I always recommend Mr. Lane to anyone that inquires about needing legal representation.

Very passionate about Soldiers and their rights! Highly recommend! His superior knowledge of custody/divorce surpasses the surrounding area competition. His fight for child’s best interest hands down speaks for itself! Don’t wait go hire him!

I agree with Brandon. Ryan is justabout money. He go out partying then late to court. Unorganised. Lot of rumors concerning ehtics. Go with another lawyer. A married one so ur not hit on.

Ryan, is a credit to lawyers in General and to lawyers in specific. I had been to several lawyers with my case, and each of them were nothing more than ambulance chasers in Shoddy Cheap suits.

They didn't see me, they only saw dollar signs, Ryan, got to know me, reviewed my case, explained my options. I truly felt that this guy cared about me as a person not as a number or even as a piggy bank.

When we finally did go to court, Ryan shut the defendant down and got the case dismissed. He exceeded all of my expectation. I have to believe that if you want good quality representation at a fair price, then you should seek out Ryan and let him help you the way that he has helped me.

Ryan is the absolute best! He is a professional attorney that goes the extra mile for his clients with sincere compassion. I was in a very dangerous marriage (CDV) and obtained an emergency order of protection in the matter of days. He made sure the process was as quick and painless as possible. He is very down to earth and let's you know you are not a burden. He is there to help you, not to empty your pockets. Ryan and his staff are phenomenal. They kept me informed which gave me comfort in such a tragic time in my life. I felt safe. Now I can start over.

Lane law firm is the best place to go to. I came across lane law firm about 7 years ago, I was searching for a divorce lawyer and to help set agreements among my ex and I. I meet with Ryan Lane, he was very professional, listened to what I wanted, and helped ease the progress, he helped me with 2 divorces total and helped make them go a smooth as possible for me and my children. He helped a tremendous with the whole situation through both separations. I would highly recommend seeing Ryan for any of your legal matters. He was great at seeing everything through and was extremely happy with the results. I hope I dont need To use his services again but if I needed to ryan will always be the one I go to. I appreciate all you have done for us. Thank you. Also let me add that Ryan has such an amazing companion sam(his dog)more like his child, and all people know a animal person is always the best person to work with. Sam is such a lovely dog. I loved being able to pet and play with him as I waited for my apt with ryan, I'll still make visits to see ryan and sam. Thank you for all yalls help!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ... 5 stars doesn’t even begin to express how well Mr Lane & staff did with our case... so I give them 10 stars! They took on a case in the middle, that required multiple hearings etc, that another local lawyer was failing at. Mr Lane & staff quickly finished up our case so that we could move forward. Thank you all!

Ryan is the BEST divorce attorney you will find! He always went above and beyond with my case. I needed immediate help getting an emergency family court hearing and he took care of it without me having to ask twice. The whole divorce process is mentally draining in itself, but Ryan pushed me through to the end of it and never let me give up on what I was legally entitled to. He is a bulldog in the court room and gets things done! He was very professional and showed compassion about my case. Always worked around my schedule on days I needed to come into his office after I had to work a full day. The man even gave me half of his sub sandwich on one occasion because he didn’t want to eat in front of me, refused to take no for an answer! I highly recommend Ryan and his staff. They are professional, down to Earth, and will always go the extra mile for their clients.

Ryan Lane is my father-in-law's attorney and has gone above and beyond for him. Mr Lane understands the situation very well and has done many things for him to get the case resolved. He has done far more than what was expected and has kept my father-in-law notified of anything that pertains to his case.

We had several issues getting a date set for court, and Ryan stood with us and did everything he promised. Ryan has a strong set of conservative values, which we appreciated in our contact with him. We had moved out of South Carolina, but the case we needed him to help us with was in South Carolina. He represented us with professionalism we expected him to. He fought for us through some difficult situations. We recommend him 100% and would not hesitate to use his service at any time.

Thank you Ryan

Ryan has assisted me with several issues throughout my divorce. He is professional AND personable, always willing to go out of his way to accommodate the needs of my case. I appreciate his willingness to be straight forward and approach cases logically and efficiently. Since hiring Ryan, I have been very successful accomplishing my goals as they pertain to my divorce. I will continue to use Ryan for all legal matters in the future and recommend that others do the same.

I've been a client of Mr. Lane's for a number of different reason over the course of several years that dealt with Family Court (Separation, Custody, Divorce, etc.), and through everything Mr. Ryan Lane is Hands. Down. The. Best. I don't write reviews very often but felt a personal obligation, to benefit those of you who may be looking for an experienced Lawyer, so that everyone can get a little insight into his Firm before you get too overwhelmed with Legal issues. Mr. Lane, and his awesome office team, WILL do everything in the best interests of their client. Never was I left out of anything. Period. I was contacted directly by Ryan as he also worked around my schedule if I needed to meet with him at his office too. I, unfortunately, have had to use multiple Lawyers before, and I can tell you this... Do Not waste your valuable time AND money looking around to find someone who may or may not do the right thing. Meet with Mr. Ryan Lane first. Everyone needs a dependable, honest and loyal Legal Representative while going through some of the worst mentally draining times of their lives, and He is that "Bull Dog" who will make sure you are heard. Best Wishes To You All!

I highly recommend Mr. Ryan. From the start he was very professional, there was never a point to where I did not feel like I was not in good hands. I have been seeing Mr. Ryan since 2015 until present time. He has handle my many situations from my divorce and just recently my custody battle. He cares about his clients and their families. Going into court, Ryan handle himself very professional and resolve any issue that came up. Ryan made this whole process less stressful. I am happy and grateful for everything he has done for me and my daughter. Thank you Ryan

Divorce finally was accomplished. Finally... He did hit on me a number of times-including my court day. He showed up 30 minutes late on day of court-it was a very awkward time sitting in the hallway with my soon to be ex husband, waiting on my lawyer. All in all the divorce is done-but wouldn’t use again.

During one of the most stressful times of my life, this law firm was stellar. Through the process they answered my numerous questions sometimes repetitively because I was nervous or unsure. I dragged my heels a few months in getting the divorce process started, but when I was ready they were too. Mr. Lane was forthcoming and always quick to answer any questions I had. Even in a situation relating to my case but not directly impacting my case, he was able to give me legal advice. The process regarding the lawyer, legal work, and staff at Lane Law Firm has gone smoothly. Any hiccups or issues have been external factors such as mediation and coming to agreements. I am grateful to have this team on my side.

In a nutshell: Ryan Lane is a Rockstar! We came to him in our hour of need and he helped us get though a awful situation that went to trial by jury. Super smart, professional and passionate, it’s amazing to watch him to do his thing in the court room and give 1000% for his clients. We could have not asked for a better attorney. Highly recommend is an understatement, 5 stars is not enough...Thank you Ryan Lane!

Mr. Lane was very professional and knowledgeable about the marital/family custody/military laws. Although it was a difficult process, he made it less stressful. He was punctual and ensured that I had all of the required information to execute the case successfully. He even has a great paralegal assistant who is always professional and friendly. I could have not chosen a better lawyer to handle my case! He was AMAZING. If I ever have another issue that requires legal assistance, Lane Law Firm will be #1 Choice with out any hesitation!
Thank you Mr. Ryan Lane for all you have done.

Posting a very good review for the Lane Law Firm. Hired to help get me through divorce. Found out about Ryan Lane through my military co-worker, who also hired/highly recommended him. Has extensive knowledge of military law. But what got the job done, was his direct approach, being straight up front, and not sugar-coating anything. Drew out the facts and cut out the emotions, and built my case from those essentials.

I was a witness in a case, where Mr. Lane represented a defendant, I knew. I found him to be professional, organized and a true credit to his profession.

Mr. Lane is to be commended in handling of a very hostile plaintiff and had more grace under pressure than other lawyers that I have dealt with in the past. If I ever find myself in need of a lawyer, I will run not walk to his firm and know that my case will be handled with the utmost professionalism and quality that anyone could ask for.

Ryan is a great lawyer. He has represented me in two cases. He won both cases for me. The first case he won almost 6 times the damages. The second case he won 3 times the damages. Both Ryan and his staff are very professional. When Ryan says he will do something, you can guarantee it will be done!

Ryan took my divorce case. It was a complicated case and I felt in over my head. Not only did Ryan reassure me that everything was going to be ok he made sure it was! His office staff was excellent in keeping me updated with the case status. I felt that his firm truly cared about my children and I. It's never easy going through a divorce and custody battle but I can reassure you his team made it 100 times easier for me. I highly recommend his firm.

THIS IS THE WORST LAWYER EVER!!!
After your fee is paid in full, he drags his feet! You have to continuously contact him to find out what is going on with your case.He files paperwork in the wrong jurisdiction. He doesn't show up for your hearing. A simple divorce filed Dec 2013, has taken until Oct 2014 for the court hearing and we are now 4 days away from Feb 2015 still waiting on the finalization of the paperwork!!! REALLY???
