Ryther Law Group responded during a time when the person from whom I had adopted my cat Luigi changed their mind and threatened to sue me. Flustered and fearful, I reached out to them, and they calmly held my hand through a very stressful time, protecting Luigi, and I from a potential separation. I felt safe with them and trusted their guidance. Today as I celebrate a year together with wonderful Luigi, I'm grateful for their assistance.”

When my stolen dog was discovered to be alive after 22 months of non-stop searching, the social media universe lit up when I posted an update, and disclosed that I had learned that the original rescue from which I had adopted my dog, had gotten ahold of her and then hid her from me, before rehoming her through another rescue 2 hours south of Los Angeles and out of my view. I got several suggestions to enlist a lawyer and the name Jill Ryther kept popping up. I did a search and called the number I found. After talking with Marc and then Jill, I knew instantly they were the right people to work with. I’m curious if the process of interviewing and retaining an Attorney has ever actually been more expedient? My dog is just like a child to me and I had to be certain that I had someone who really understood that, backing me in this fight. Every step of this emotional and financially exhaustive process I have had two people with what appears to be the same level of interest and concern that I have in this case. For that reason alone I have both trust and confidence that we will win this legal battle and prove that my gut was right from the first time I spoke with them. I can’t say enough about how easy it is to work with Jill and Marc and how much I feel a connection with them despite the fact that we’ve never met in person, due to the pandemic we are all living through. [Ryther Law Group] is a unique firm specializing in Animal Rights Law and their depth of knowledge, work ethic and humility is what sets them apart.”

Sarah and everyone at the Ryther Law Group are excellent. I would not recommend anyone to get in the predicament I found myself in, but I can recommend Sarah a thousand times over. She worked tirelessly on my seemingly simple turned nightmare case. When new challenges arose, Sarah knew exactly what to do. I am so happy to be reunited with my dog and I owe it all to her.”

I had the best experience with Ryther Law Group. I worked with Sarah Thompson & Jill Ryther. They were very professional, prompt, and thorough. They will work hard for you. They will give you their advice on matters and will proceed in the manner that you choose. I made the mistake of not taking their advice and it cost me time and money but they worked hard still to turn things back around and ultimately everything ended the best way possible. You can't go wrong having them in your corner. I highly recommend them for representation.”

Ryther Law Group represented me in a serious veterinary medical malpractice case. Compared to other attorneys I had spoken with, RLG was interested and genuinely upset over what happened to my puppy. Jill Ryther cares deeply, knows what she’s doing and has the experience to prove it. Most of all, I remember that RLG had a true determination to help animals and their humans seeking justice. RLG cares for the lives of animals.”

Jill Ryther is an exceptional attorney and has the complete set of skills any client could want. She is a fierce representative, and yet has an excellent sense of what is reasonable and achievable. She is very good at interpreting complex and inscrutable law in terms that the client can understand and insulating her clients as much as possible from insanity and rancor from the other side. She is supremely organized and, on top of everything, patient, generous with her time, and always responsive to client questions. Jill went above and beyond to resolve my case to my satisfaction and consistently found ways to trim the process and save money in my case.”

Words cannot express our appreciation for Michelle Paul’s assistance with rescuing Tomas, a retired racehorse. Tomas’s owner died without a will and Tomas was abandoned. Unpaid bills were accumulating to an amount that would become more than the value of the horse. Prior to the legal representation of Michelle Paul, Tomas was at very high risk of being sent to auction. Ryther Law Group was highly dedicated to assisting a small team of individuals rescue Tomas. They worked around the clock to expedite Tomas’s case so that we could move him to the safety of a foster home in Arizona. We literally received e-mails in the early morning (before 8 am) and late at night (sometimes after midnight)! Ryther Law Group was a critical component to ensuring that this very special retired racehorse had an opportunity to receive the love and care he deserves. Ixtla Marino has provided a wonderful foster home for Tomas for the past several months. Tomas sustained injuries during his long and successful career as a racehorse that prevent him from having a second career as a performance horse. We are very excited that Tomas has been accepted for permanent retirement at Humanity for Horses: https://www.humanityforhorses.org/”
