Ryan S. Ginie
Ryan is proud to once again be recognized as a Super Lawyer in 2017. Ryan started representing people charged with crimes and injured or killed by the negligence of others as an associate in the Law Offices of N. Trey Pettlon and then as a partner in the Law Offices of Pettlon & Ginie.
Criminal Defense:
Ryan does primarily criminal defense and has a great deal of experience defending both adults and juveniles who are charged with crimes. Ryan is one of the very few attorneys in Kansas City to win a "Not Guilty by Reason of Mental defect" jury verdict. For several years Ryan gave monthly lectures on juvenile law, and he has extensive experience with every phase of the juvenile case from defending a client against the most serious allegations including sex crimes or other violent crimes to defending a juvenile waived to adult court or certified for adult prosecution.
Personal Injury/Wrongful Death:
Over the years, Ryan has been able to get numerous extraordinary recoveries for clients gravely injured in automobile accidents, trucking accidents, trip and fall cases and dog bite cases.
Additional Info:
Ryan was selected as a "Rising Star" by Super Lawyers in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 just confirming what our clients have known about Ryan for years. The designation is a tremendous honor bestowed on fewer than 2% of attorneys 40 years old and younger, and the culmination of a lot of work on behalf of his clients and a lot of success in court. He is a member of the Johnson County Bar Association, the Kansas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Kansas Bar Association, and a sustaining member of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association.
"Ryan has the knowledge, experience and argument skills that make him an effective advocate for his clients, but to me, it's his genuine concern for his clients and their cases that makes him a great attorney. And that's what I hear most from his clients. He finds out what is important to each client, and he will fight to get the best result possible for that client. That is what I am most impressed with about Ryan." - Trey Pettlon

Amazing Attorney
Ryan was the best and most organized attorney I’ve ever had. He was always responsive and explained things in detail as far as my options for my 2nd DUI. In the end I trusted his judgment as far as whether to have a trial with a jury or the judge or settle with what the prosecutor offered. We went t...

Professionalism
I retained Ryan Ginie to represent me in a DUI case. He came recommended from a good friend that is also an attorney. Ryan was able to navigate both the criminal and the administrative aspects of the DUI process with nearly no assistance or help from myself, resulting in a complete dismissal of bot...

3 charges dismissed!
Ryan was a complete life saver in my case. He was able to get a dui, refusal to breathalyze, and a drug paraphernalia charge dismissed for me. I am extremely grateful and would absolutely recommend him to anyone convicted of a dui or dwi.

DUI Case Resolved
Mr. Ginie was very proactive in his approach to resolving my DUI case. Not only was the case dismissed but he has also helped to expunge the arrest. Best I could have hoped for.
"Great lawyer and great person. Ryan is skilled in a variety of legal matters from criminal defense, juvenile offenders, and personal injury, to name a few."
"I have watched Ryan practice since he became a lawyer. Over the years, I have rarely seen another attorney who is as tenacious and hard working as he is. Day after day, he gets great results for his clients, and they reward him with loyalty and referrals, which is how one builds a successful law practice. I highly recommend Ryan."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ryan gets excellent results for his clients in criminal and personal injury cases. It starts with the fact that he cares about his clients, and he puts in the work. He understands all the technical aspects of his cases as well as any attorney in town. I'm proud to call him my law partner."
