Prior to that, he earned a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 2002. During his time in law school, Ryan worked as a clerk for a local law firm, gaining hands-on experience in bankruptcy and commercial litigation. This early exposure laid the foundation for his current practice, which primarily involves representing clients in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings. Cases typically progress from initial consultations through filing petitions, attending hearings, and negotiating with creditors. Ryan not only represents individuals but also advises businesses on restructuring and compliance issues.
