Ryan Patrick Brown

Ryan Brown is a solo practitioner focusing a criminal defense at all levels from indictment through post conviction in state and federal court with a primary practice location in Amarillo, Texas. Ryan also takes select civil cases such as civil forfeitures, civil rights, and catastrophic truck wrecks.

At the end of 2012, Ryan moved to Amarillo to fight for the citizens of the Texas Panhandle. Ryan has handled hundreds of state and federal criminal cases ranging from Class C misdemeanors to murder cases, to multi-defendant federal drug conspiracies and complex white collar fraud cases. Ryan also specializes in representing clients charged in free speech protest and union protest cases.

A frequent contributor to local, regional, and state news, Ryan’s opinion is sought often to clarify the latest legal issues affecting people in the Texas Panhandle and around Texas. Ryan has also taught CLEs on jury selection. To Ryan, practicing law is about more than fighting and winning against the government, though. Criminal defense in particular is about getting to know the client and always tailoring a defense goal and defense strategy that is unique and fit for each client. At its core, the work of criminal defense is caring about people and telling their story. This approach has led to many dismissals and reductions and hearing “not guilty” in most cases he’s tried to a jury.
