Ripped off by Ryan Lyke

My name is Gunnar Ristroph.  I hired Ryan Lyke in May of 2022 to do a remodel project at my house in Round Rock, Texas. He was acting as a general contractor, with subcontractors to do drywall, insulation, cabinets, countertops, etc. After completing some of the project and taking a deposit for the next phase, the work stopped and the excuses started. By September he had blocked my phone number. By November I had filed suit. I won a default judgement (meaning that Ryan Lyke did not show up to the trial) in April of 2023.

Here are the law suits against Ryan Geoffrey Lyke and/or Lyke Industries that I know about:

3SC-22-0195 in Williamson County, Texas JP3

Law suit filed in June of 2023.

I am writing this for several purposes:

• To try to stop Ryan Lyke from damaging other people.
• To try to find Ryan Lyke (and his assets) to collect the money he owes me.
• To try to help other victims find Ryan Lyke for collection.
• As a support group for Ryan Lyke's victims.
