About Ryan
Attorney Ryan T. Fasso was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2002 after having attended New England School of Law in Boston, Massachusetts where he graduated with his Juris Doctorate.
Mr. Fasso now concentrates his practice in the areas of criminal law, family law, and civil litigation. He also handles quiet title actions. Prior to, he began his legal career as Dependency Attorney with the Circuit 10 | Florida Department of Children and Families. He gained immediate courtroom experience after having conducted numerous adjudicatory bench trials amidst the most controversial of cases. Thereafter, Mr. Fasso continued his legal career as an Assistant State Attorney with the Polk County State Attorney’s Office. During his tenure there, he quickly excelled from County Prosecutor to Senior Felony Prosecutor. He furthered his courtroom experience by routinely prosecuting felony cases and arguing many jury trials. He often prosecuted DUI’s, Drug Crimes, White Collar Crimes, Violent Crimes, and Fraud Cases.
In late 2004, Mr. Fasso entered the private sector and joined forces with a major Tampa-based law firm. There, he focused his practice on criminal law, personal injury, and worker’s compensation. In short order, he was named partner and managed a steady caseload of diverse areas of law. He also handled both civil and criminal appeals. In 2006, he received his first written decision from the 2nd District Court of Appeals.
Mr. Fasso now manages his own law practice and maintains a diversified caseload. He provides legal services in the greater Tampa Bay Area and in all surrounding counties. His mission is simple – “To find the truth and use it in the courtroom to get justice for his clients.”

Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
Recently, I represented the Wife in a Hillsborough County military divorce matter. Many issues were at stake. We were successful at trial and the Wife was awarded, in part, alimony, an equitable distribution of all assets and liabilities, and a portion of Husband's military retirement benefits. We retained an expert witness to secure the correct amount of military retirement benefits. We were also successful in recovering Wife's portion of retroactive benefits that were owed to her.
How did you build a successful practice?
I started out my career as an Assistant State Attorney for the 10th Judicial Circuit, Florida. From there, I worked on the private sector for years practicing in the areas of criminal defense, family law, personal injury, and worker's compensation. In 2017, I opened up my own law firm and my firm now practices primarily in the areas of family law, criminal defense, and civil litigation. Any successful law practice should encompass several years of prior litigation/trial experience.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Clients should look for an attorney that is competent, has handled trial work before, and is readily available to take client phone calls and inquiries. Constant communication is essential to an attorney-client relationship. You also need an attorney that is honest and practices law with integrity.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Several counties in Florida have local procedures and administrative orders unique to the locale. It is very important that an attorney is familiar with the local rules, procedures, and laws that govern the locale he or she is in. The attorney should also be knowledgeable of the various judicial preferences of the judges presiding in the attorney's circuit.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
I always offer free phone consultations to my clients. We discuss the facts, the legal issues, and the possible ways to resolve the pending issues. The best strategy is to have a formulated plan from the onset.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
The only information that is needed for an initial phone consultation is the facts necessary to analyze the present legal issue. Any documentation which supports or sheds light on the legal issue at hand is also a plus.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
I take the time to listen to my clients. I am very compassionate and dedicated to every case. My firm also affords clients with very reasonable payment plans.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
In the context of family law cases, I truly enjoy helping families resolve their family law issues. The protection of children is often of utmost interest. I also help those who are the victims of domestic violence as well as represent those accused of committing violence. In the context of criminal cases, I protect the liberties of my client while providing them with the best defense available.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
I am married and have 4 children. As a family, we enjoy traveling, hiking, and biking. We are also proud supporters of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Are you involved in your community?
I am very involved in the community. I have volunteered for United Way for several years and often assist with helping the homeless, elderly, and developmentally disabled. I also support persons running for local office.
