Ryan Michael Swinburnson

Ryan Swinburnson grew up in Northwest Washington.  He went to Central Washington University were he obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1996.  In 1999 he graduated  from Willamette University College of Law.   Ryan first passed the Oregon State Bar. Directly out of law school he worked for a mid-size law firm in Albany, Oregon.  He then passed the Washington State Bar and moved to the Tri-Cities.   He served in the Benton County Prosecutor's Office for two years.  He started his own practice in 2002, where he prosecuted for the City of Pasco and did criminal defense in Benton County.  Contemporaneously, he also cultivated a personal injury practice.  Morrow County retained his services as County Counsel in 2006 through 2015.   As a personal injury attorney, he vigorously represents those who have been harmed or injured and seeks full compensation for their injuries.  As a criminal defense attorney, he advocates zealously for his clients and readily goes to trial.  Over the last 20 years, he has successfully obtained numerous dismissals, not-guilty verdicts and acquittals and is a proven trial attorney.  Perhaps, most refreshing is his ability to communicate and relate with his clients but still aggressively and effectively represent his clients in the courtroom.

In 2020, Ryan took his experieence back to the place he grew up . . . . Whatcom County.  Since returning, Ryan has successfully defended on the simplest of misdemeanors to the most severe felonies.     If you need a smart and competent attorney to provide a vigorous defense, Call Ryan Today!
