Real Ryan Nichols LLC
You don't need a $3,000 retainer.
You need a plan.
Independent investigative support for pro se litigants, whistleblowers, families, and anyone fighting a system that was hoping you'd give up. Document review, evidence organization, plan of action, and strategy — at prices that don't gatekeep.
Start for $3.
Micro-tools that do one thing well — a public records request letter, a rights-violation triage, a starter kit for your filing stack. Instant email delivery.

Ryan reads your situation and writes you a focused plan. Your issue, your evidence, your next three moves — on paper, dated, kept.

If your case is documents in a box, we turn it into a structured, exhibit-numbered file you can hand to an attorney, investigator, or court.
Submit your situation →The data
Going it alone is a losing bet. And not by a little.
Federal civil case outcomes when a self-represented party goes up against someone with counsel. This is why a written plan, a chronology, and a clean evidence file are not optional.

Every paid rung buys Ryan's focused attention and priority queue access. Donations keep the mission work alive but do not buy priority — that is honest.
See the full catalog →The mission work runs alongside the business.
Paid services keep the lights on. The mission work — fighting corruption, investigating abuse, and helping the people of East Texas, Texas, and the United States of America — runs on donations and volunteer time. Priority queue is reserved for paying clients; that's honest. Mission work is how we keep showing up for the people who can't pay.
Support the mission
Fund the work that keeps this door open.
Donations to the Investigations campaign fund the cases that come in without a paying client — the corruption, the rights violations, the fraud, the cover-ups. Every dollar helps us keep helping the people of East Texas, Texas, and the United States of America.
Donations fund the mission; they do not buy priority attention on a personal case. Paid services are the priority-queue path — view services.
What we are: an investigative and consulting business. Document review, evidence organization, plan of action, and strategy.
