Proof of payment made to Patrick L. Ryan

These archived documents were entered as evidence in a lawsuit filed against Patrick L. Ryan by a former client in Philadelphia.

The evidence filed included a note from the client enclosed with check made payable to Patrick L. Ryan in the amount of $2,250.00.

Also submitted as evidence was a copy of the back of check paid to Ryan, which was apparently endorsed by his business associate Joseph Kelly.

The money was paid as a retainer, but no work was done and it was never earned. 

Ryan later refused to return the money and his client filed a lawsuit in a Philadelphia court, which resulted in a judgement against him.
