About Ryan
Ryan Platt earned his law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2012 after completing undergraduate studies at Colorado College in 2006, where he majored in political science and international affairs. He came to law school after a liberal arts education that emphasized the intersection of politics and global issues. The timeline from his degrees suggests a steady path into litigation work.
He is admitted to practice in both Illinois and Wisconsin. Early in his legal career he took on roles that exposed him to plaintiff-side advocacy. In 2019 he was an associate at The Illinois Hammer Injury Law Office Dworkin & Maciariello. That position involved case preparation, client intake and work on claims arising from accidents and injuries.
By 2023 he moved to Mike Agruss Law, where his title is listed as lawyer. The change in firms marked a continuation of civil litigation work. At both firms he handled elements common to personal injury practice: drafting pleadings, conducting discovery and meeting with clients to review case strategy. Those tasks shaped his everyday practice and courtroom preparation.
Platt maintains active membership in the State Bar of Illinois and the State Bar of Wisconsin. He participates in bar activities and adheres to the professional standards set by those organizations. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach; he frames legal problems in practical terms and focuses on the steps needed to move cases forward. He combines courtroom preparation with attention to the procedural details that matter in contested cases.
Outside of court, he has continued professional development tied to litigation practice. His background in political science and international affairs sometimes informs how he evaluates evidence and narratives, particularly when cases require contextual analysis. He has built experience across client intake, discovery management and negotiation, drawing on the training he received at Wisconsin Law and the hands-on work at two Illinois firms.
He now practices at Mike Agruss Law, where he handles civil claims, including personal injury matters.
