Ryan Peterson is a former debt collection attorney turned consumer rights expert and advocate. After graduating from William Mitchell law school in 2008, Ryan opened his own criminal defense firm. In 2010 Ryan joined a Minneapolis-based debt collection firm. There, he quickly learned the nuances of rights and regulations regarding consumers. As time went on, Ryan developed a deep desire to work for consumers - to protect individuals who are wrongly treated, often knowingly, by big business and banking institutions. As Ryan frequently says, he’s grateful to practice law in a way that aligns with his personal beliefs. He values his relationship with clients and strives to partner with each individual to ensure a fair outcome. ​ Like all native Minnesotan, Ryan loves cabin time Up North. He is also a self-described “avid indoorsman” who enjoys cooking, reading, bar trivia, and board games. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and daughter.

As your attorney it is my goal to be your advocate through the complex and fearful legal process. During this time you expect your attorney to be an advocate and keep you informed on every necessary step. You expect your questions answered and expect an understandable explanation of the procedures necessary. You also expect your telephone calls to be returned in a timely manner and aggressive representation on your behalf. Our law firm understands what you’re going through. The confusion, the pressure and the threat of losing everything from your freedom to your job, to your children or even your ability to drive a car. Our law firm focuses exclusively on criminal defense cases and understands the Minnesota court system.
