I want to be a part of changing lives for the better and my life has lead me in that direction.. Graduated from University of Nebraska-Omaha with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in 2003. During this time, I worked as Team Leader for a Residential Treatment Center treating minors with co-occurring disorders and it was there that I observed best interest attorneys, who focused deeply on an individual basis of how to support their clients with empathy, compassion, and a focus on how they would thrive long-term.. It was then that I knew this is who I wanted to be, in my work everyday.. I went on to receive my Juris Doctorate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, College of Law, May of 2007. During my time at law school, I focused on Criminal and Family Law. After graduation, I moved to Arizona to work at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office as a Law Intern. Passing the Arizona State Bar exam that was conducted the Summer of 2007 was a great accomplishment. Shortly thereafter, I became a Deputy County Attorney in January of 2008 for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. As Criminal Prosecutor for the majority of my career, I have fine tuned advocacy. As a trial Attorney, I have prosecuted both jury and bench trials. Additionally, I have presented cases before the Grand Jury. As a prosecutor I primarily practiced in Juvenile Delinquency matters. The last decade specifically was spent working with Juveniles with Sexually Maladaptive Behaviors and sexual boundary concerns.. After twelve years as prosecutor, the time became right to transition into private practice. Why? I realized, however, that I was missing something. I was missing the ability to go back to what sparked my interest in doing this work everyday by being able to work with clients directly, having a direct impact, and being able to help them thrive long-term. Today, as founder and owner of my firm, I work with clients like you in a people-centric way, focused on how to help you in the space where you need it most. My focus is advocating for my clients in Domestic Relations topics and Juvenile Law with personalized compassion.

I have practiced my entire career with Wattel & York. We are dedicated to providing our clients with the most competent service available.  Our free consultations are non-aggressive.  We want you to feel comfortable with the attorney you choose to represent you.  It is an important decision.

I have been practicing law since 1986.  I started in juvenile law, representing abused and neglected children. I added probate law around the same time, which involved administering decedents' estates, working with adults who were the subjects of guardianship and/or conservatorship proceedings and protecting the interests of minors in connection with conservatorship cases. Whether representing petitioners concerned about the well-being of their loved ones or representing children or disabled adults, working to help bring about positive change and good results for those who are disabled, abused, neglected or unable to protect themselves is fulfilling.. Also, helping people who have lost family and/or loved ones sort through the probate process is something I enjoy doing.  At the end of the day, it's really important to know that I've helped make someone's life a little better, a little less stressful, and a little more successful!. Traveling the world and making music is something I enjoy in my spare time.  I am a singer-songwriter who loves gospel, bossa nova and world music in various languages. My original music won second place in the 2010 Arizona State Bar Creative Arts Competition for lawyers, which was the first and only time I entered the competition.  Looking forward to making more music in 2014!

A Notre Dame University alumnus who began his legal career in commercial litigation, Ryan Scharber's law practice has evolved with the changing needs of our firm's clients.. For many families, Ryan is the lead attorney throughout their estate planning process.  He also provides valuable assitance in the related areas of probate and trust administration, and he helps resolve estate controversies and inheritance disputes.. "The ideal I hold myself up to is that of the old-fasioned small-town lawyer who knew his clients' families, their histories, what sorts of things they owned, their hopes and fears, the things that kept them up at night.  When a lawyer has that sort of relationship with his clients, he's able to serve them in a much more holistic fashion.  He's able to fix problems before they arise, help them avoid lawsuits, and help them plan better for the future.  In my mind that sort of lawyer - that type of law practice - is much more rewarding for me as an attorney and is much more useful to my clients."
