About

After graduating from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in 1992, I began practicing law in Huntsville with the law firm of Wilmer & Shepard, P.A.In February 1995 I left the firm and began my own office. Since then I have represented clients in a variety of legal matters, ranging from complex litigation involving several parties to business transactions and personal legal matters. By my estimates I have successfully tried over 100 cases in federal and state court.In 2010, after completing a comprehensive written examination, being reviewed by other attorneys and judges before whom I have tried cases, and providing proof of my trial experience, I obtained the designation of a Board Certified Civil Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocay. I am one of only 3 attorneys in Huntsville / Madison County who maintains this certification. I also am AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell.I am actively involved in the American Association of Justice (AAJ), being a member of the Sections on Motor Vehicle and Premises Liability, Products Liability, and Insurance Law, and the Nursing Home Litigation Group. Having obtained over 200 continuing legal education (CLE) credits for participating in trial colleges and seminars sponsored by AAJ, I obtained the designation of Fellow.During my legal career I have repesented clients in well over 100 mediations. Because this has always interested me, I have taken the necessary course and completed the process to be registered on the Alabama State Court Mediator Roster. It is my sincere desire to develop and maintain an active mediation practice.My office's philosophy is simple -- prepare each case as though it is going to be tried before a jury. In this day and age of quick settlements and gimmicky advertising, this may seem somewhat archaic. However, I honestly believe that there is no substiute for preparation and experience.Specialties: Personal injury, motor vehicle wrecks, commercial vehicle wrecks, nursing home neglect/abuse, products liability, premises liability, insurance law, insurance bad faith, labor and employment law, construction law, business litigation, litigation and appeals, mediation.

“Thank you for your time, long hours, hard work, and dedication. Thanks also for the calls in and out, answering my questions, listening to my thoughts, and always returning my calls. I think that you did a superb, outstanding job. I have absolutely no complaints. I highly recommend you without a doubt. There were some things the insurance company did that I did not understand or agree with. That did not last long, because Mr. Ryder broke it down to me with no hesitation or mistakes. He always returned my calls or messages, with lightning speed. He always kept me informed. If he knew it, then I knew it. Hands down, I would not hesitate to call Brad Ryder, if his services are needed. Thanks for the long nights and weekend hours that you put into my case."

I met Brad Ryder over two years ago. At the time my mother was in the hospital because of care that she failed to receive while a patient at a local nursing home. Brad and his staff took an active interest in my mother’s situation. Over time my mom’s health deteriorated and Brad made sure that he visited her on a regular basis. I remember Brad bringing his son to the hospital on Christmas day, so that he could meet my mom before she passed away. I could tell that this was important to Brad. Brad and his staff always kept my mother and me informed of what was happening. They worked hard to help bring my mom’s case to a conclusion. After many hard fought battles with the nursing home and their attorneys, Brad was able to help us settle my mom’s case. My mom and Brad enjoyed a very special relationship. I still consider Brad to be a member of my family. He is honest and hardworking. Brad is also someone who cares about his clients.

Bradley Ryder is probably the most thorough attorney I know. He leaves no stone unturned. He makes sure he has all of his facts and legal arguments in order before he attempts to advise his clients. He does an excellent job representing his clients.

Mr. Ryder came into my life over three years ago. He is an excellent attorney…very thorough and dedicated. I don’t think anyone could have done a better job with my complicated case. Mr. Ryder is passionate about his work and it carries through to his clients. He treated me with compassion and kindness. In trial he was outstanding. He protected my interests as well as my personal vulnerabilities, working diligently to get the job done. He fully understands the legal system and is patient and persistent in dealing with the many problems which arise in a case. Mr. Ryder has a very professional staff. His assistant is to be commended for her knowledge and competence. She keeps abreast of situations and is a valuable asset to the practice. My experience with the Ryder Law Firm was such that I would not hesitate in recommending Brad Ryder as one of the best attorneys in his field and one of the finest men I’ve known.

After discussions with several attorneys regarding an injury sustained at a local business – and told by all that my case was too much of a longshot, I visited Brad Ryder. He said it was a tough case, and probably not worth a lot of money (I’d previously been told that IF I won, I would get NO more than $10,000). Mr. Ryder took my case. We ended up in mediation. The three lawyers (in fancy suits) we were in mediation with were from a very large firm out of Birmingham. After a few hours of back-and-forth, we arrived at an agreed-upon $50,000. An incredible job by Mr. Ryder. I would recommend him to anyone – thorough, professional, brilliant.
