About Ryan T. Ramsayer

Originally from Northern Minnesota, I have always committed myself to defending the rights of all Americans. My proudest demonstration of this commitment was honorably serving with the United States Marine Corps Infantry in Afghanistan. Upon my return to America, I began to put my experience to good use as I trained for a new battlefield, the courtroom. After attending my hometown college, Bemidji State University, I came to Michigan to attend law school at Michigan State University College of Law. While at MSU Law, I was blessed to participate in the Geoffrey Fieger Trial Practice Institute. The two-year program trained me in the specific skills required for successful trial advocacy. During that period, I also gained experience by clerking at several firms. I used those opportunities to study various areas of the legal profession, honing my research and written advocacy skills. After acceptance to the Michigan Bar Association in 2009, I began defending accused drunk drivers as a member of the Barone Defense Firm. In my time with the BDF, I have represented hundreds of clients, filed countless motions, conducted extensive trials, and won impressive victories. I have fought diligently to represent the best interests of my clients both in and out of court. It is my goal to provide to my clients the type of representation I would want if placed in their shoes. It is a point of pride to be, not only knowledgeable, but available. It does not do my clients any good if I know and understand what is going on and they do not. With the BDF, I also handle the driver’s license restorations for the firm. I have had the opportunity to help dozens of clients safely return to the road. With my representation, many who had been denied on multiple attempts have finally cleared their last hurdle and those making a first attempt have been spared precious years without driving.

By Ryan Katz It is no secret that Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is vastly changing the landscape of many different fields. While the practice of law is certainly not something anybody would want to be taken over by AI in any major way, AI is still a tool which has applications for lawyers. Generative AI can help lawyers brainstorm arguments, organize...

Oral Fluid Testing: Roadside vs. Evidential Analyses

Hart As cannabis is being decriminalized in many states, there has been increased interest in rapid roadside tests to detect THC and other substances for intoxicated driving charges.
