Originally from Northern Minnesota, I have always committed myself to defending the rights of all Americans. This began with joining United States Marine Corps Infantry and fighting in Afghanistan. Upon my return home, I began to put my experience to good use as I trained for a new battlefield, the courtroom.
After attending my hometown college, Bemidji State University, I came to Michigan to attend law school at Michigan State University College of Law. While at MSU Law, I was fortunate to participate in the Geoffrey Fieger Trial Practice Institute. The two-year program trained me in the specific skills required for successful trial advocacy. During that period, I also gained experience by clerking at several firms. I used those opportunities to study various areas of the legal profession, honing my research and written advocacy skills.
Since my acceptance to the Michigan Bar Association in 2009, I have been defending the accused as a member of the Barone Defense Firm. In my time with the BDF, I have represented hundreds of clients, filed countless motions, conducted extensive trials, and won impressive victories. I have fought diligently to represent the best interests of my clients both in and out of court. It is my goal to provide to my clients the type of representation I would want if placed in their shoes. It is a point of pride to not only be knowledgeable, but available. It does not do my clients any good if I know and understand what is going on and they do not.
With the BDF, I also handle the driver's license restorations for the firm. I have had the opportunity to help hundreds of clients safely return to the road. With my representation, many who had been denied on multiple attempts have finally cleared their last hurdle and those making a first attempt have been spared precious years without driving.
No matter the accusation, I am here to fight for you.

Can't go wrong with Ryan Ramsayer!
I hired Ryan Ramsayer after I was arrested for drinking and driving. I've never been in troulbe before that night. Ryan, along with the staff from Barone Defense Firm, was very kind and informative. Quick to return phone calls, texts, emails, anything I had questions or concerns with. Ryan never led ...

Great person to work with who cares.
I hired Ryan after a lengthy DUI record trying to get some sort of driving privileges. From the start he made me feel at ease, I have 3 priors in another state plus 3 here in Michigan. This is a step process of getting to drive again. Him and his team guided me through the whole process. Very profess...

Great Lawyer
Ryan was able to get my driving while impaired charge to just a traffic violation. I was previously going to just use a school lawyer until finding out that they wanted me to just take the charge and not help me fight it. This made me very upset that the lawyers provided at msu where I pay over $30,0...
"Ryan has demonstrated an attention to detail that has benefited not only his own clients but other clients at the Barone Defense Firm. Ryan is a quick-witted trial attorney who thinks on his feet, which is just what you need in the heat of a jury trial. Ryan has a wonderful sense of humor that can be just what a client needs when facing an overwhelming OWI charge or overcoming the obstacles to restore a driver's license. All of this is evidenced by the amazing client reviews that he regularly receives. I enthusiastically endorse Ryan Ramsayer."
"Ryan Ramsayer possesses all the skills that you want in an attorney to help you win your life back. Intelligent, dedicated, hard-working, brave, and caring. He has estabished himself as one of the top dui/owi attorneys in our state. I fully endorse Ryan Ramsayer"
"Ryan is one of the foremost experts in the area of criminal defense and especially DUI and DWI defense in Michigan. Whenever I am confronted with a case presenting complicating issues, Ryan is a tremendous source of knowledge to successfully present the best defense available to my clients. I thoroughly endorse Ryan as a knowledgeable, hard working and prepared attorney who ensures his clients' rights are protected!"
"Ryan is an excellent litigator and trial attorney with a rock-solid understanding of the law. He is also one of the top driver license restoration lawyers in Michigan. Ryan continues to distinguish himself among his peers and persistently obtains outstanding results for his Barone Defense Firm clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Ryan for the past three years and I know him to be a highly competent, professional, and compassionate attorney. He cares deeply for his clients and does everything in his power to insure that they have an opportunity to rebuild their lives after the problems engendered by an OWI arrest. He makes a concerted effort to keep abreast of the latest developments in the law governing what is often call drunk driving. He is always prepared to offer his clients the best and most up to date evaluation of the law applicable to their case. He is prepared to go to great lengths to insure that his clients receive the best possible advice and counsel. In short I would recommend Ryan to any member of my family or my closest friends should they ever find themselves faced with an alcohol relate driving charge."
"Mr. Ramsayer's knowledge of the subject matter and genuine concern for his clients are excellent examples of a truly qualified advocate. His familiarity with all the courts and their personnel is an asset to every client. I would highly recommend him for any OWI or DAAD case."
"Ryan has impressed me with his well refined courtroom skills and substantive knowledge of relevant case law in the area of DUI defense. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and is clearly deserving of the respect he has earned from his fellow practitioners and those judges before whom he routinely appears. I enthusiastically endorse Mr. Ramsayer. He is an outstanding attorney."
"There are plenty of lawyers out there that talk a big game, but there are very few who can deliver. I've known Ryan for a long time and he delivers for his clients every time. Ryan is not afraid to take a tough drunk driving case to trial against the meanest, nastiest Oakland County judges. I've seen Ryan go toe to toe against the worst of the worst and come out victorious. Ryan is one of a handful of attorneys that I would actually trust to handle a case for my own family, so if you are thinking about having Ryan represent you, take it from me, it's a good idea!"
"Mr. Ramsayer is the consummate advocate for his clients. I have witnessed first-hand how much effort he puts into preparing his cases and trying to get good results for his clients. But it's more than just winning with him, he genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients; and that, to me, is priceless."
"Mr. Ramsayer brings to the courtroom an ability and willingness to fight that few criminal defense attorneys can match. Additionally, I have personally witnessed the great care he takes to ensure his clients are well informed and confident in every step of the process. Mr. Ramsayer is truly one of the best."
