Ryan Michael Kasak

I am the principal attorney and founding member of Kasak Legal, PLLC. Prior to starting the firm in 2012 I worked in private practice and in the public sector. I was an associate attorney at a local firm where I served as an assistant city attorney for several Michigan municipalities. I was a local prosecutor, provided municipal defense services and was responsible for drafting and enforcing municipal ordinances. I also worked with the State of Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and with the City of Chicago Law Department, Division of Building and Land Use Litigation.

Given this background, my practice still focuses heavily on interactions between municipal or state entities and individuals and businesses. Providing criminal defense, representation on ordinance violations, licensing, permitting and various other regulatory compliance work for individuals and business owners.

I am a member of the State Bar of Michigan and licensed to practice in all courts in the State of Michigan. I am also admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

I was born and raised in Metro Detroit. I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Detroit Mercy where I obtained a B.A. in Philosophy, a B.A. in Political Science and a Certification in Legal Studies. I continued my education at Loyola University Chicago, School of Law where I received a Juris Doctor.

When I am not lawyering or running my practice, I spend my time with my family or participating in one of my hobbies: backpacking, reading, photography, or spending time outdoors.
