About Ryan

Learn Ryan’s areas of practice.

REPRESENTING YOU TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD IN REAL ESTATE MATTERS, AND ESTATE AND ELDER CARE PLANNING.

I have extensive experience in all matters of real estate, estates and probate, estate planning, and Elder Law/Medicaid planning. I've been an attorney since 2006, with a heavy concentration in the real estate and estate fields. I am also a real estate broker and real estate agency owner (Bonner Realty, LLC) since 2014. Also an active real estate investor, I understand the needs of real estate investors and am able to accommodate creative transactions.

I was born and raised in Grove City, PA. I went to high school at Grove City High School. I went to college at Notre Dame and then to law school at Penn State. I studied finance in college and have a strong interest in business and investing. I started my legal career in college as a law clerk performing real estate title searches.

Upon graduation from law school, I worked simultaneously for McNickle & Bonner, LLP, as a private attorney and as a prosecutor with the Mercer County District Attorney's Office. I left the DA's office in 2011 to pursue a full time career in private practice. 

In my free time, I enjoy reading, learning about history, listening to music, playing golf, watching sports and movies, flying airplanes, and traveling. I am an active member of the community, having served on several Boards of Directors for various volunteer/nonprofit organizations. I would love the opportunity to help you with your legal issue.

Real Estate Attorney - Better Than 5 Stars
Attorney Ryan Bonner advised us multiple times during the sale of our commercial property. He is very good at his job and knows the law very well. He was always patient, kind and easy to understand. We signed a sales agreement in late December 2022, the buyer kept delaying the closing date they chose, our agent stopped working for us a few weeks after we signed the agreement. We needed Ryan! Examples of why we are grateful Ryan worked with us: -Buyer’s attorney wrote up paperwork to help the buyer and insisted all was good for us to agree to and sign. Ryan reviewed and noticed several issues, strongly advised us to not sign. -After buyer’s team stated their title company had a problem, Ryan on his own reached out to the title company he works with. His title company indicated there actually wasn’t a problem. -In advance of closing, Ryan clearly explained to buyer’s attorney our rejection of two inappropriate charges that were listed on the closing sheet. Buyer’s attorney still tried to put these charges thru, even at closing, but we were able to stand firm because we had Ryan backing us up. -Down to the wire and up to closing time, buyer’s team made multiple relevant changes. At the closing they still did not have all paperwork in order. Knowing Ryan was in our corner gave us the confidence to stand up for ourselves during this sea of chaos. -During all of the communications, Ryan maintained his professionalism and class, which was very refreshing. He was always calm and polite. His points were clear and concise. -They threw a lot of curveballs but not a single one was successful. Ryan Bonner deserves full credit. I am just a client, not a friend or relative, and I can honestly say that Ryan deserves 10 stars. 5 stars is not enough.

Excellent, Knowledgeable,Reliable Lawyer!
I met Ryan through my parents, he did a real estate closing work for them. When I needed help with a legal matter at college I consulted Ryan right away because I knew that I could trust him with my case. He resptessbted me in my hearing and I believe we got the best outcome we could have because of his hard work and dedication to my case. I would most definitely recommend him!

Attorney Bonner represented me in closing on a very complex pre-forclosure. He was extremely knowledgeable and put my mind at ease during this closing. Also, he was extremely available whenever I had a question. Another thing I liked about attorney Bonner was that he didn't charge me for all the extra emails whenever I had a question; I had a lot of them

Will writing
We hired Ryan to write my wife and I's Will. Ryan completed the writing of the Will in a timely manner, priced reasonable and was sensative to our time. We meet with Ryan to go through and sign all the forms, he was detail oriented and discribe everything in terms we could understand. Hopefully I won't need anymore legal advice but if I do I'm sure to hire Ryan again.

Excellent Real Estate Attorney with excessive knowledge of the oil, gas and mineral rights field
As a realtor in Pennsylvania, I have many questions about OGM rights that I don't always feel equipped to answer. Specifically, I have a listing with 65 acres that has a current gas lease that will not convey to the new owners. This can be a sensitive situation and I reached out to Ryan for guidance, and my clients did as well. He was responsive and educated in his advice that helped us navigate through the transaction. He is a well spoken and professional attorney, but also approachable and explains the facts in laymen's terms that we can all understand! He is well respected in Mercer County and I recommend him highly.

Excellent Service and Advice
Ryan was very straight forward and honest with everything that he did for us. He didn't find extra work or waste any time just to have billable hours. We were treated with the upmost respect at all times. I plan on using Ryan Bonner for any legal needs I have in the future.

Thankful beyond words
Attorney Bonner went above and beyond in my cases... I had three separate needs in estate planning, family law and real estate and Attorney Bonner handled them all professionally, with care and as expeditiously as possible. I would highly recommend him for your legal needs and will return to him for future legal services.
