About

Ryan Barrett began his legal career on the other side of the courtroom - defending large insurance companies in high-stakes, multi-million-dollar lawsuits in Los Angeles. It was there that he learned the tactics, strategies, and mindeset insurers use to minimize claims. But over time, Ryan's conscience led him to a different path: advocating for the people those companies tried to silence.

Today, Ryan uses his insider knowledge to level the playing field for injury victims. he understands how insurance companies think - because he used to be in the room with them. Now, he turns that experience against them, fighting relentlessly to recover every dollar his clients are owed.

What truly sets Ryan apart is his personalized approach. while many firms hand off cases to junior staff or treat clients like numbers, Ryan works directly with each client, ensuring their voice is heard and their needs are fully understood. From the first consultation to the final resolution, he's there - giving every case the time, attention, and respect it deserves.

Ryan holds both a Juris Doctor (JD) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Pepperdine University, where he developed a strong foundation in law, finance, and strategy - skills he now applied daily in high-value negotiations and litigation.

Outside the courtroom, Ryan is an avid sportsman, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time weightlifter. Whether he's exploring Utah's Wasatch Range or training in the gym, he brings the same focus, discipline, and intensity to his personal life that he brings to every client's case.

FAQ

Notify your insurance company as soon as possible after the accident, preferably within 24 hours. Provide them with accurate information about the incident, but avoid admitting fault or giving detailed statements until you’ve consulted with an attorney, if necessary. Contact an attorney prior to speaking with any insurance agent to avoid providing information that could negatively affect your claim.

Fault is typically determined by police reports, evidence from the accident scene (e.g., traffic camera footage, photos), witness statements, and insurance investigations. The state’s traffic laws will also play a role in determining fault. In some states, comparative negligence laws apply, meaning both parties may share responsibility. Speak to an attorney if you have any concerns about who is at fault, and they can help guide you.

While it’s not required to hire an attorney after an accident, it’s often advisable, especially if you’ve sustained significant injuries or the insurance company is disputing your claim. If you are unsure if you need an attorney, find one that will evaluate your case without charging a fee. An attorney can help you negotiate a fair settlement, gather evidence, and represent you in court if necessary.
