About Ryan

Ryan Rambudhan attended the John Jay College where he graduated with highest honors (summa cum laude). He later received a merit scholarship to attend the highly-competitive George Washington University Law School. Ryan then gained experience at a prosecutor’s office and assisted in the prosecution of many DWI and drug related offenses. Under the direction of a DWI trial judge, Ryan drafted legal opinions to assist in deciding motions that raised technical and constitutional challenges to DWI stops and arrests. Today, Ryan is a principal partner at S&R Law Firm where he focuses on DUI, traffic, and criminal defense. Because Ryan understands how police and prosecutors approach cases, he is able to build a strategic defense for his clients who face criminal charges. As an adjunct professor at the George Washington Law School, Ryan shares his expansive knowledge and experience by training first year students in legal writing and oral advocacy.

Ryan did what whatever it took to get me the most favorable outcome. He took my side and was willing to took my case to the judge. Ryan was able to deliver what he promised and that is impressive nowadays. I would strongly recommend Ryan.

Excellent Service and Outcome "DUI" case

5.0 stars

Posted by anonymous
March 17, 2015

I hired Mr. Rambudhan to represent me in a DUI case in a Fairfax County Court. After talking to him over the phone I immediately scheduled an appointment, where he made me aware of his extensive knowledge about these cases. DUI cases are very serious in Fairfax County and Ryan was able to elaborate a strategy as to how we will tackle the case. On the court date, I met with him at his office (conveniently located right across the Fairfax County Court) where he explained to me in all details the potential outcome of our trial. At trial, we were facing a very tough prosecutor, but Ryan was able to formulate questions and pin-point small details regarding the case that eventually made the judge dismiss the charges. I received tremendous service from the S&R Lawfirm, I was feeling comfortable with my lawyer since the first phone call I made. I would recommend Mr. Rambudhan to anyone facing minor or serious charges, there will always be someone answering the phone at their office trying their best to help you. Thank You very much for your services.

Highly Recommend S&R Law Firm

In my quest to find solid representation, I was extremely fortunate to find S&R Law Firm. From the moment we had our consult all the way to when Judge hit the gavel, and awarding us victory, I was extremely impressed by their service. The team from top to bottom were absolutely on point in every step of the way. I was summoned to court on a law that I wasn’t familiar with, and was absolutely lost prior to finding S&R Law Firm. I came to them completely oblivious, and Ryan and his team were extremely patient with me and provide me with every detail to ensure I was beyond familiar. I was very impressed with their professionalism, abundance of information, patience, actually care, meticulous approach, and no question their representation in court. Prior to hiring the team, I did a little research on the team and I must say I found they were very well respected amongst their counterparts, and the NOVA area. And luckily for me, they weee able to accept my case and allow me to see firsthand why they’re highly recommended. So if you’re in need of a very highly reputable, respected, and a team in your corner for representation you need to look no further than, S&R Law Firm. -Alem M Northern Virginia

Highly Recommend Ryan Rambudhan

Ryan was a fantastic choice to represent me and my case. I would give him 10 stars if I could. He went above and beyond to do what he could to give me the best possible outcome. He always stayed honest and truthful in the possible outcomes I could potentially face and never led me astray. By phone or email, he was always responsive and available for a conversation if need be. He encouraged me to take proactive measures to assist in giving me the best possible outcome, which ended up helping out in the long run. Ryan was able to reduce my elevated DUI arrest to a reckless driving conviction. I did not lose my license or privilege to drive, did not have to do extended jail time, and only had to pay a small fine. After leaving the court room, Ryan consulted with my family to ensure them that I was going to be okay and asked that we checked back in with him when I was released. He reached out again later that night to check in on my family and I as well. I am very thankful that I chose Ryan to represent me and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a DUI lawyer.

Reckless Driving reduced to Speeding

5.0 stars

Posted by anonymous

I was hit with a reckless driving charge from an aggressive VA police man. This was not a great position to be in. Put stress on myself and my family. Looked up lawyers and Ryan had great reviews. My wife and I called and he calmly walked us through the scenario and how best to mitigate it. Followed his advice for classes and speed calibration. Went to court. Judge wasn’t trying to hear it and kept the reckless driving charge. Oh no! But Ryan and his group were highly professional and solid. At no extra fee, helped negotiate a deal with prosecution and had the charge negotiated down to a speeding infraction. Much better. Can’t go wrong with Ryan and his team!

Reduced DUI to Reckless Driving

I was arrested for DUI. I was really stressed but Ryan guided me through everything. He recommended an online class and community service before the hearing. In court he went over everything again and I got my charged reduced to a reckless. I hope I don’t need him again, but you should hire him if you need help.

I live in SW Va and Ryan was recommended by a local attorney for a case I needed help with in Arlington. The case was somewhat confusing and Ryan took the time to figure out what was going on. He then worked with the court to negotiate a successful outcome. While working on my case, Ryan kept me in the loop so I knew what was happening.
