Ryan joined the firm as an associate attorney in 2024. He is licensed in the states of Vermont and California. He specializes in elder law, estate planning, commercial leasing, contracts, negotiation, and business structures. He’s handled issues large and small, from a multi-million dollar division of a complex family real estate portfolio to simple wills. He’s represented tenants and landlords in lease negotiations, drafted operating agreements for start-up small businesses, and saved clients hundreds of thousands of dollars through long-term care planning.
Ryan is an accomplished problem solver and critical thinker; he can learn to do anything quickly and do it well. His focus is caring for his clients’ ultimate needs, which can be hidden behind misunderstandings, justified emotions, and lack of access to the law. Ryan makes sure his clients are partners with him on their issues, so that they can fully understand the issues and be confident in the solutions. Whether a problem is big or small Ryan believes that attentive understanding should precede action.
In his off-time, Ryan enjoys technology, baking, snow sports, picking up new skills and hobbies, and absorbing everything that Vermont has to offer, whether that’s hiking through the forest with his dog, rock climbing with friends, or simply staying to read a good novel.
