...we had to choose whether to stay with Holland and Knight or continue with Rory. I can say that the best overall decision made in the entire case was to stay with Rory...

Please let this letter serve as both a recommendation and a testimonial of the relationship developed over the past six years. When litigation was brought against a group comprised of my family and friends over an evironmental, ultimately a contract issue, I contacted Holland and Knight in Orlando for Representation. Rory was assigned to our case and handled many of the preliminary issues in response to the litigation. Rory informed me that he and his wife had decided to open their own practice and we had to choose whether to stay with Holland and Knight or continue with Rory. I can say that the best overall decision made in the entire case was to stay with Rory...My confidence in him, and ultimately his entire staff, was well rewarded. The case itself went on for five years resulting in a successful summary judgment in our favor...I believe this was due to Rory's thorough preparation and case management...Further never did Rory overstate the case, but continually apprised me of his assessment and if there was a problem, how we could improve on it....I consider Rory an outstanding attorney, but also a close friend.

Rory is certainly one of the best trial attorneys in the State of Florida.

It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback from one our managers regarding work performed by outside counsel...a pleasure to work with...Rory Ryan on environmental matters. It certainly makes my job easier when the managers and department heads I deal with every day and whom I entrust to outside counsel give me good reports and not complaints...I am pleased...to receive consistently excellent service.
