Ryan Bauerle

Ryan practices family law out of a commitment to achieving fair and equitable outcomes while also preserving as much financial stability for clients and their children as possible. Emphasizing planning and preparation, he ensures that clients are ready for any scenario so they can confidently and successfully resolve their family law matters.

Ryan is a skilled litigator and strong negotiator; he regularly obtains favorable settlements without ever stepping foot in the courthouse. Ryan works with clients to evaluate the pros and cons of their options, including costs, to make sound and efficient decisions about moving forward.

Ryan’s clients include professionals, executives, doctors, attorneys, and their spouses. He brings extensive experience and sincere compassion to situations involving contested custody, special needs, mental health issues, and substance abuse. Ryan has a successful record in advocating for co-parenting rights and securing equal parenting time or unique possession arrangements.

Ryan helps clients set reasonable goals at the outset and develops a game plan to reach them. He keeps clients informed about next steps and strives to alleviate anxieties and minimize surprises so they can focus on what is important. Ryan believes that his experience and confidence—whether inside or outside the courtroom—give his clients a distinct advantage.
