For the past 28 years, attorney at law Jeffrey Ryan has made a name for himself in the courtroom as a tenacious litigation lawyer whose primary objective is to defend the little guy against the giants and win. As someone who grew up all over the United States, as well as London, Ryan has developed a unique empathy for his fellow man that has enabled him to become one of the best trial lawyers in the Bay Area. As a student at the American School in London, Ryan’s education emphasized reading, writing, and analytical thinking, which would prove to be invaluable attributes for him when he attended law school at Santa Clara University. In 1986, he received his Doctorate of Jurisprudence, and passed the State Bar of California a year later. Ever since, he has been a defender of justice.
Ryan has successfully won several high profile cases, including a whistleblower case that resulted in a $75.5 million settlement, an insurance bad faith case where Ryan settled for policy limits of $6.2 million, and a case in the biotech industry for breach of contract and fiduciary duty for up to $5 million. Ryan’s accomplishments in the courtroom are indeed extensive, but there is one particular case he handled that demonstrates Ryan’s wholehearted commitment to defending those who are treated unfairly.
In January 2016, Jeffrey Ryan, Esq., was retained to represent a female employee of a southern California employer, who claimed that she had been wrongfully terminated after she called the police when a customer assaulted her while she was under the defendant’s employ. According to the woman’s employer, her actions compromised his business, which is why he terminated her employment. In general, going up against a large and strong company as an individual can be a very difficult and stressful process. But making sure that his clients get what they deserve is exactly why Ryan became a litigation lawyer in the first place.
Through his legal expertise and perseverance, Ryan eventually settled the sexual harassment/wrongful termination case for $8 million. Ryan faced many difficulties during this trial, such as the fact that there is no legal precedent in California where an employer is found liable for wrongful termination of an employee who called the police when a customer, rather than a co-worker, assaulted the employee. This case was a first of its kind, exemplifying the kind of determination and “refusing to give up” attitude that has made Ryan such a reputable attorney.
