Ryan has been a Florida attorney since 2003. He started his career as an assistant state attorney with the Office of the State Attorney. After three years of prosecuting criminal cases, Ryan started his own law practice. He focused his practice on criminal defense, traffic related offenses, and later added personal injury.
