About Kenneth

Kenneth W. Ryder (“Billy”) has made his home in the Northwoods. Attorney Ryder is licensed to practice law in the State of Wisconsin and the Tribal Court for the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. Prior to joining Haukaas Law Office, Billy worked for the Wisconsin State Public Defender’s Office in Ashland.  

Attorney Ryder earned his Juris Doctor from Marquette University Law School, with honors for his pro bono service. As a law student, Billy served as a legal intern for the Honorable Frederick Rosa in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court (felony gun court), an experience that sparked his interest in criminal law. He went on to gain real-world legal experience under Wisconsin’s Student Practice rule, as he performed legal internships with the Sheboygan County District Attorney’s Office and the Wisconsin State Public Defender’s Office (Juvenile Division) in Wauwatosa.  

Before attending law school, Billy earned his Bachelor of Music degree, cum laude, from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. He has been known to make appearances in various Northwoods venues, playing guitar as a member of the Hawkins Creek Band. Billy also enjoys spending time with his Pug-Boston Terrier mix, Bugsy.
