Less than 3% of criminal defense attorneys in Minnesota have achieved this certification. In 2018, Ryan was selected as a Top 100 Superlawyer in Minnesota, an extremely rare designation.

Ryan has represented a wide variety of clients on criminal and investigative matters. From representing the homeless to famous celebrities and professional athletes, as a specialty criminal defense firm the lawyers have an enormous amount of experience in helping individuals navigate the scary waters of the criminal justice system. The lawyers at the firm do not in any way judge the firm’s clients … the entire goal of representation is to solve the problem that brought the client to the firm in the first place. Ryan regularly represents practicing attorneys whom have found themselves in some sort of trouble.

Nearly 100% of Ryan's practice since inception has been representing clients on cases ranging from DWI to Murder to major federal White Collar Crime.  He has acquitted clients with not-guilty verdicts, orders to dismiss, hung juries, and declination of prosecution decisions in cases ranging from DWI to Murder.  His most recent cases include acquittals in Felony Third Degree Assault, Felony First Degree Assault, Felony Domestic Assault Strangulation, and Aiding First Degree Murder and Controlled Substance in the First Degree.

He is an executive board member of the Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (MACDL).  Ryan has been named a Rising Star Superlawyer in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, and was named a Superlawyer in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

Ryan is admitted to practice in the State of Minnesota, the federal District of Minnesota, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court. He has also handled cases in Wisconsin and in the federal district in Nebraska.

The firm’s success was not formed overnight. Ryan, with the help of attorney Elizabeth Duel and Executive Legal Assistant Shelly Larson worked from the bottom through the blood, sweat, and tears to the top of where they find themselves today. Ryan is the first lawyer in his family, started the firm from nothing, and hung up a sign and started trying criminal jury trials. While they have had wonderful mentors along the way, Ryan’s success is a direct result of getting in the trenches and going to trial … as that is the way to become a true trial lawyer.
