About Steve
Biography
Criminal law is my passion. Unlike many attorneys, I'm not in this business to make money; I'm in it to help people. In every case I take, I work closely with my client to ensure the best-possible outcome. If a case has a decent chance of winning at trial, I have no problem taking it before a jury.
In fact, I rather enjoy it when a case goes to trial. At that juncture, I often know that the prosecutor has slipped up and will have difficulty meeting his or her burden. It also gives me a chance to put my training and expertise into action. If you have been accused of a crime and are looking for an attorney to represent you, give my office a call. The consultation is free, and I can work with you if cost is an issue.
An Ivy League Graduate
I graduated from one of our nation's finest legal institutions: Cornell Law School. During my time as a student, I worked feverishly under some of the finest minds in criminal law. The result? Top-flight legal insight into your problems.
If your case involves a complex or convoluted issue of law, my training and experience can work to turn such an issue in your favor. I have the resources and the know-how to investigate legal issues within your case that could help you fight conviction.
A Former Prosecutor
As a former prosecutor, I know how the system works, and more importantly, how it can work in your favor. Whether you've been charged with a serious felony, or are just looking to reduce a traffic ticket, you can rest assured that I know exactly how to handle your case.
My work as a prosecutor has also given me an opportunity to know many of the prosecutors in the Fox Cities. This often makes cutting a deal on your behalf a much more successful experience.

No points on my license, thanks to Steve!
I had gotten a few traffic tickets and was facing 6 points on my license, as well as a hefty fine. Attorney Ryder stepped in and without any further instruction just handled the situation. Because of his work, no points on my license and my fine was reduced to something I could afford. Thanks, Steve!...
