Ryan and I litigated the "NFL of Personal Injury" together, extremely complex products liability mass tort claims against multi-billion dollar in quarterly revenue international biotechnology companies. Judges in those cases ordered that Ryan serve as leadership in those litigations because of his tenacious ability to get the job done for clients. Those defendants are ruthless and Ryan never backed down from the challenge. You will not find a better injury attorney. View More
