“Having spent 20 years as a workers’ compensation defense attorney, I know how claims are investigated as well as how to get insurers and employers to timely pay benefits on legitimate claims.  I believe my vast experience working for workers’ compensation insurance companies greatly enhances my ability to represent injured workers and fight for fair compensation.”

Ryan practices workers’ compensation law, representing injured workers in both Missouri and Kansas.

He is a graduate of the University of Kansas Law School, where he took first place in the school’s annual Moot Court competition. For two years he worked in the school’s free Legal Aid Clinic before graduating and accepting a position as a defense attorney in private practice.  He has won Missouri and Kansas workers’ compensation cases through the Court of Appeals in Missouri and the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court in Kansas.

He is a member of the Missouri and Kansas Bars. He lives in Olathe with his wife and their two children.  In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, camping, fishing, and reading.
