Ryan English has focused his law career on criminal defense since the time he began law school. As an intern at the King County Department of Public Defense, he regularly appeared in court on behalf of his clients, which was when he began delivering favorable results. He continued working as a public defender until he began his career in the private practice.. Ryan took his first case to trial in his third year of law school (as a licensed Rule 9 intern), which was resolved at the end of all proceedings with no convictions for his client. One year later as a newly licensed attorney, his first jury trial resolved with a 30-minute not guilty verdict. He has continued to aggressively and effectively fight for his clients’ rights, ranging from the trial to appellate level. He has overturned convictions on appeal, won many jury trials and criminal motions at the trial level, and helped individuals in administrative proceedings regarding a variety of issues.. Ryan's career really began to take off once he began his own practice. His philosophy is take a relatively small and manageable caseload, and give every single client the individualized attention they deserve and pay for. Currently, Ryan focuses his practice areas in criminal appeals, criminal defense, and personal injury.
