About Ryan
Biography
Hello, I am Attorney Ryan M. Schur and I take pride in providing my clients with personal attention and the legal representation it takes to give them the best possible outcome. I am dedicated towards working hard and presistent in fighting for their defense.
As a lifelong resident of the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, I spent many years training at the area courts. I served as a law clerk with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office where I learned the inside workings of the criminal court system. Prior to law school, I worked with respected area attorneys who instilled their wisdom and experience in me. As a college athlete, I learned the value of persistence and preparation in overcoming hurdles. These are the values I bring to fight for you.
