Brittany Anne Van Ryder

Brittany Van Ryder is a family law attorney at Lass Law APLC who helps individuals and families navigate divorce, child custody, support, domestic violence matters, and other complex family law issues with compassion, strategic advocacy, and thoughtful legal guidance. She is committed to helping clients feel informed, supported, and empowered during some of life's most difficult transitions.

Brittany began her career at Lass Law as a Bar Clerk while earning her Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law. Working closely alongside Certified Family Law Specialist Amy Lass throughout law school gave Brittany invaluable hands-on experience in every stage of the family law process. After graduating and successfully passing the California Bar Exam, she joined the firm as an attorney, where she continues to represent clients with the same dedication and client-first philosophy that defines Lass Law.

Brittany's experience combines a strong legal foundation with years of practical family law experience. She represents clients throughout the litigation process, appears at hearings, prepares persuasive declarations and legal filings, and develops thoughtful legal strategies designed to protect her clients' goals while seeking practical, lasting resolutions whenever possible.

She has also devoted extensive time to continuing education in domestic violence and trauma-informed advocacy. This specialized training allows Brittany to better understand the unique challenges many clients face and to approach each case with empathy, sensitivity, and careful preparation while remaining a strong advocate when protection and decisive legal action are needed.

In addition to her family law practice, Brittany is leading the development of Lass Law's estate planning services. She recognizes that life after divorce often includes important decisions about protecting children, assets, and future wishes. By helping clients update or create wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance healthcare directives, and other estate planning documents, Brittany helps ensure they are protected well beyond the conclusion of their family law case.

This expanded focus reflects Lass Law's holistic philosophy of supporting clients through every stage of life's transitions. Rather than simply helping clients finalize a divorce, Brittany is passionate about helping them build a secure foundation for the next chapter.
