Ryan Duval
Associate, B.A. (Hons), J.D.

Ryan Duval is the type of lawyer who will think about your family law matter day and night. He is full of creative energy and relatable in many respects. Once retained, Ryan will come up with different predictions and scenarios for your case. He will challenge you, seeking out potential weaknesses and factoring those in. Next, Ryan will tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of your matter, and he will collaboratively come up with a solution to resolve it (e.g., a legal plan of action).
Moreover, Ryan is passionate & zealous about the practice of Family Law: he is the type of lawyer that is constantly reading up on the latest family law cases out of our courts or changes being discussed and implemented in the practice of family law.
Ryan also knows the latest trends in family law from regularly attending a diverse array of extracurricular programs, activities, and presentations, where he also refines his courtroom skills, along with his skills of negotiation, mediation, collaborative practice, and trial advocacy. Among other things, Ryan has received specialized training in dealing narcissistic personalities and behaviour.
The reasons for why many people need Ryan’s help and assistance are as follows,
1) Ryan’s Long-Term Strategies: Ryan does not get caught up in his client’s drama or the other side’s drama. As soon as he gets the facts of your case, he begins building a picture, an image, a story of you. One that will find itself in front of a mediator, the other lawyer or the judge. The way he sculpts your case makes sure that no matter what angle you are looked at from, you are always protected.
2) Ryan is an Academic Library: Ryan is the type of lawyer that goes home at night and immediately starts reading the latest family law cases out of our courts. He knows of almost every latest trend in family law, remembers every case he reads and when a lawyer reaches out to him with a question, he always has an answer and a supporting case in his mind.
3) Ryan Knows Theatre: The court is a like a theatre. The way a lawyer talks, the tone of voice, focus, conciseness, the story, the climax, and the outcomes are all things that are necessary for winning a case in court, just like in theatre. Coming from a theatre background, Ryan knows how to present his case is a concise, clear and confident way.
4) Ryan is a Problem Solver: Ryan looks at problems from 100 feet above and not from the ground up. When he does that, he sees the big picture and the goals of his clients and the opposing side. That gives him the ability to come up with solutions that are so creative, not too many people have come up with. His problem-solving skills are a major asset when he settles his family law cases.
