About
Ryan M. Ranson, Esq.
Co-Founder & Managing Partner
Ryan M. Ranson is the co-founder and managing partner of Ranson & Ranson and the lead attorney on every matter the firm takes. Before founding the firm, he practiced at Cole, Scott & Kissane, where he represented businesses in commercial disputes, and at Boies Schiller Flexner, where he handled high-net-worth divorce and family law matters. He is a graduate of the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
That background is the firm’s model: family cases prepared with a commercial litigator’s discipline, and business disputes handled by someone who understands what is actually at stake for the owner. He represents clients in Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade in divorce, custody, and post-judgment matters, and litigates business disputes in state and federal court across South Florida. He holds a leadership role in the American Bar Association’s Family Law Section.
Ryan prepares every case for the courtroom because that is what produces good settlements, and because some cases need to be tried. Clients work with him directly from the first call through the final order.
