Ryan has a passion for the journey with clients to achieve results and help them to restore their lives after tragic accidents.

Ryan is a proud product of the Lehigh Valley.  Born in Allentown and raised in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, Ryan is a public school graduate of Emmaus High School, where he played varsity basketball. Ryan remained in the Lehigh Valley and graduated from Lehigh University, where he was inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma International Business Honor Society, the Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, the Order of Omega Honor Society, and the Financial Management Association Honor Society and was named a Zeta Psi Good Scholar. Ryan obtained his bachelor’s degree in finance from Lehigh, magna cum laude.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Ryan pursued law.  He obtained his J.D., cum laude, from the Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law, where he served on the school’s prestigious Law Review and was inducted into the Woolsack Honor Society.

During law school, Ryan gained valuable experience as an intern for the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court and as an extern for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.  He began his career in the Philadelphia office of DLA Piper US LLP, one of the world’s largest law firms. He later joined Ansa Assuncao, LLP and defended large corporate entities in seven and eight-figure matters in 25 states nationwide.

Ryan has tried cases in not only Pennsylvania, but also in New Jersey and Texas.  He successfully argued before appellate courts in Pennsylvania and South Carolina, and represents an international client based in Qatar. Ryan’s practice has focused on tort claims involving serious personal injury, wrongful death, property damage, business torts, and fraud, as well as complex business disputes and media litigation. He now brings that wealth and breadth of experience to bear in his practice seeking justice and compensation for those who have been injured by the wrongdoing of others. Ryan leverages his extensive experience, legal acumen, and vast professional network to fight to get clients what they deserve.

Ryan holds an AV Preeminent rating, the highest honor from Martindale-Hubbell. The AV Preeminent rating is given to attorneys who are ranked by their peers at the highest level of professional excellence for legal expertise, communication skills, and ethical standards. Ryan has been recognized for many years as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers, an honor received by only 2.5% of Pennsylvania lawyers each year.

Ryan married Heather Majczan, a Lehigh Valley native and Saucon Valley High School graduate, and together they have two children. He enjoys coaching youth sports, golfing, spending time with his family, and occasionally trying to recapture his basketball ability.
