Ryan Robert Renauro

Ryan Robert Renauro is a defense attorney at Rise Criminal Defense in Springdale, Arkansas. His practice covers criminal defense matters, including DUI/DWI, assault and battery, drug and alcohol violations and criminal domestic violence. He also handles misdemeanor theft, traffic violations, juvenile delinquency cases and expungements. Serving clients throughout Arkansas, he provides strategic legal representation to defend constitutional rights, navigate the criminal justice system and secure suitable outcomes for individuals facing charges. 

Mr. Renauro earned his J.D. from Liberty University School of Law in 2012, entering the Arkansas bar that same year. In 2014, he joined the Benton County Prosecutor’s Office, spending five years directing hundreds of criminal investigations alongside law enforcement. Across dozens of bench and jury trials, he prosecuted complex matters, ranging from violent offenses and cybercrime to property damage and juvenile delinquency. Today, he leverages this insider prosecutorial experience to build ironclad defense strategies.

During his tenure as a prosecutor, Mr. Renauro received extensive training in substance addiction, trauma services and recidivism-reduction resources. This background fundamentally shifted his perspective; he recognized that isolated mistakes should not derail an entire life. Choosing to transition to criminal defense, he now shields clients from an overreaching system. He leverages community-based programs to prioritize rehabilitation and second chances over incarceration, ensuring individuals receive meaningful treatment rather than harsh punitive measures.

Mr. Renauro approaches each case with a deep commitment to treating every client with dignity, fairness and zero judgment. Having spent years guiding individuals through their darkest moments, he understands that facing criminal charges can be profoundly isolating. He brings genuine empathy to every case, ensuring clients feel heard and respected rather than defined by their worst days. By pairing compassionate support with steadfast defense, he serves as a safe, nonjudgmental advocate in their corner.
