He will tell you that Maine’s friendly, hardworking people and naturally beautiful communities are responsible for the admiration and respect he quickly developed for the State of Maine. After a trip to Maine several years ago Ryan and his wife decided to quit their jobs, moved to Maine, and never looked back.

Ryan’s general legal interests include, but are not limited to: contracts, timber trespass, real estate, boundary disputes, criminal law, and
