About Ryan

Learn Ryan’s areas of practice.

My practice focuses on defending the rights of the accused and those suffering from physical or business related injuries.  I have tried and argued cases in New York State Trial and Appellate Courts, as well as New York Federal Courts including the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.  

As a former Assistant District Attorney and State Assistant Attorney General, I utilize my prior experience and success litigating on behalf of the government to zealously advocate for my clients in criminal and civil matters throughout the State of New York.

As a felony prosecutor, I tried numerous cases to verdict while assigned to the Special Victims Unit. I have also conducted hearings and trials in local courts throughout the region, primarily in the area of DWI law.

As an Assistant Attorney General, I was assigned to the Litigation Bureau where I represented a state agency and its employees in all stages of civil litigation including investigations, motion practice, witness preparation, depositions and trials.  

My experience in both the private and public sectors allows me to evaluate your case from multiple angles so that I can assist you in crafting creative solutions for your complex legal challenges.

Superb Attorney
Ryan is fair, honest and highly professional in his representation of his clients. He throughly explains the law and what to expect (possible outcomes). His work represents a stellar example of what to seek when looking for an excellent attorney.

Highly recommend.
I have consulted with Ryan on one case and have hired him for another case. Both times, he was very thorough in explaining the law, possible outcomes and the general process. He was knowledgable and helpful. Prompt in his responses and I would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

I wouldn’t hesitate to call again!
I haven’t received a ticket in over 10 years... and then I received two with in a year. I contacted Mr. Manley and he was able to reduce both my tickets and stop me from earning points on my license. Mr. Manley was punctual, courteous, and very reasonable.
