Recognized as a Certified Criminal Law Specialist by the Minnesota State Bar Association, Ryan brings over two decades of experience to the defense of clients facing serious state and federal charges nationwide. His exceptional advocacy has resulted in case dismissals, not guilty verdicts, and favorable outcomes in more than 50 jury trials.

Ryan’s legal career is distinguished by his work on complex and high-stakes cases, including criminal sexual conduct, white-collar crime, narcotics offenses, and homicide. He has built a reputation for achieving acquittals, dismissals, and significant charge reductions for a diverse clientele—ranging from everyday individuals to high-profile celebrities, professional athletes, doctors, lawyers, and other professionals.

Some of Ryan’s recent courtroom victories include securing not guilty verdicts for a decorated State Trooper wrongfully accused of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a client charged as a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, and a University of Minnesota professor falsely accused of felony criminal sexual conduct—a charge that threatened not only his freedom but also his groundbreaking cancer research career.

Ryan’s unwavering commitment to excellence has earned him consistent recognition from both clients and peers. He holds a “Superb, 10 out of 10” client rating on AVVO, has been named to the Super Lawyers Top 100 list from 2018 to 2026, and is among the elite 3% of attorneys certified as a Minnesota Criminal Trial Specialist. His leadership extends beyond the courtroom: Ryan is a past President of the Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (MACDL), currently serves on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), and sits on the Minnesota State Bar Association’s Criminal Law Specialist Committee, working alongside respected judges, prosecutors, and top defense attorneys across the state.
