Ryan Tatum grew up on a farm and ranch in central Oregon where he learned the importance of hard work. He moved to the Treasure Valley to attend Northwest Nazarene University and also attended Boise State University. He worked for the Payette County Sheriff’s Office from 2005 until he left in 2013 to finish his undergrad and attend law school.

Mr. Tatum led all in-county officers in both total arrests and DUI arrests in 2010, 2011, and 2012, yet he also strived to treat all individuals fairly, preserving not only incriminating evidence but also all evidence favorable to a defendant (exculpatory evidence). Mr. Tatum believed that his job as a law enforcement officer was to protect people, treat everyone fairly, and always tell the full truth about what had happened. In addition to local and administrative testimony, Mr. Tatum testified several times in federal district court on motions to suppress and at trials in cases resulting in sentences of greater than 30 years..

Like many law students, Mr. Tatum balanced studying and experiential classes with other obligations. These included staying involved in the lives of his seven children, a part time job, being a two term president of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society Student Chapter, serving as President of the Student Bar Association, and serving in church leadership positions. Mr. Tatum graduated in the top third of his class and was admitted to the Idaho State Bar in 2017.. In the fall of 2017, the Tatum family moved to Helena, MT, for Mrs. Tatum’s work. While in Helena, Mr. Tatum worked for the Department of Health and Human Services as a skilled and unskilled nursing home facility surveyor, auditing facilities’ and medical providers’ compliance with federal Medicare and Medicaid regulations as well as state regulations. When the opportunity arose to move back to the Boise area, the Tatum family did so and Mr. Tatum accepted a position with a Boise firm, where he practiced criminal defense and law enforcement officer representation.  In 2023, Mr. Tatum co-founded Tatum McBride Law, P.C., a firm dedicated soley to defending the rights of individuals facing criminal charges.  Mr. Tatum is a member of the Idaho Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Idaho Trial Lawyers Association.

I am an attorney admitted to practice in all Federal and State Court's in Idaho since 1982, and I am also a member of the bar of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.  I have practiced in small firms, mid-sized firms and as a solo practitioner in my 38 years of legal practice, and since 1982 I have practiced at one time or another in almost every area of law.  I have successfully tried dozens of jury trials and hurndreds of court trials during my legal career. In 2016 I looked back over my last 20 years of practice and  realized that I had made career decisions based upon circumstance and what others wanted, rather than practicing in the legal areas I enjoyed.  I decided to return to my roots in the practice of law - family law, guardianships, probate, criminal defense and juvenile defense. In 2017, I opened Michael Doolittle PC in order to use of my life experience and my many years of experience to provide experienced, compassionate help to my clients in the most difficult times of their lives.
