He enjoyed this experience so much that he interned at the education and disability legal clinic two additional terms. He was ultimately honored with the Outstanding Clinic Intern Award for his graduating class, as well as the Pro Bono Service Award, in recognition of his contributions to low-income communities. Upon graduation, he clerked at the education and disability legal clinic.Ryan has also written on several areas of education law, including student free speech as it relates to sexting and cyberbullying, technology in the classroom, educational equality and charter schools, and teacher tenure reform.

Ryan was our savior! Seriously! Our daughter was in serious crisis and the school district became impossible to deal with. Ryan came in, calm and collected, asked questions and applied the needed pressure on the school district. He is VERY knowledgable, he understands what it takes to make REAL change and get the IEP team focused on the correct issues. He has the patience required to get the outcome we needed. When the school district's attorney shook his head then hung it low, we knew - the years of sleepless nights, hours of meetings, thousands of emails and millions of tears were going to stop. Ryan had done EVERYTHING we hired him to do. Ryan advised us, guided us, protected us, but more importantly, he saved our daughter. The district settled with us and agreed to pay all of the expenses, including transportation, for our daughter to go to a private school. She is VERY successful now. It is amazing what TRUE accommodations, scaffolding, and differentiation will do for a special needs child. Ryan met with us in the evenings and on weekends. He was VERY responsive to our emails and calls. You won't be disappointed in hiring him.
I had a relatively small legal need and received excellent service and clear communication from Ryan Ford and his office. The intake process was smooth, and compared to other firms I talked with, it was easier to come to an agreement about scope of services. Communication was easy, thorough, and prompt through the whole experience.
I came a crossed Ryan Ford’s website one sleepless morning, panicking and desperate for someone to help my son. My case is extremely convoluted and at times, likely not even believable to those that don’t know us. I called Ryan that day and rambled off 7 years of history, he was able to pick through my story and offer me valuable information that I didn’t know. That was January of this year. I knew nothing about special education law or the rights my son (all of our children) have. Ryan was extremely response and compassionate. My past experiences with lawyers is once you pay them, you hardly here from them again. Not Ryan, I couldn’t tell how invested he is in helping people like my son. If you are looking for a Special Education lawyer now, the likelihood of you needing one a while ago is very high. Not because of any reason of your own but because of system and because of the District that is supposed to stand up for children with special needs but unfortunately don’t. Ryan will shoot you straight and will be very upfront and honest with you but most he will at the very least, navigate you and help you be able to have a voice and stand up against the injustice that happens so often to our kids by the very people we are supposed to trust. Best wishes Ryan you will forever hold a spot in mine and my families hearts!
Ryan Ford is an attorney that is making a difference for all special needs students. I am so grateful that I was able to have Ryan Ford represent us. My case was extremely difficult and complicated. I was in a tight spot and my first hearing with the school district was due in 72 hrs. I didn't have an attorney and he agreed to take my case on short notice. In just a few short days he was able to win a STAY PUT motion and my son's transportation was reinstated while litigation was in process with the school district. He continued to hammer away at the facts and he was persistent. Ryan was passionate and fought hard for my son and WON!!!! Not only did Ryan win my son’s case but he set a precedent, and the special education students behind us will benefit from his hard work in the future. Ryan was always very attentive and responded to all of my calls and emails right away. I never felt like he left me out in the weeds and I was kept in the loop at all times. I am very satisfied with the legal services provided by Ryan Ford. I definitely would recommend his assistance to anyone I know that needs legal help. Ryan’s help made a big difference in my son’s education and I am forever grateful for all of his hard work! Thanks again Ryan!!!
Ryan was extremely professional, kind and sensitive while dealing with the special needs school issues for my son. He guided our family in a very objective and rational way on how to negotiate an IEP and keep my son in a general education environment with the support he needs. Ryan was always accessible via phone and email whenever we needed him. He provided us with not only legal advise but also the mental support and fortitude needed to deal with the school district. Highly recommended.
Mr. Ford was very driven and helpful. He expressed his concerns, made sure I understood how things may go and what we could try. Looked into the information that I sent him, was prompt in getting back to me. He did an amazing job with my case that wasn't typical.
Ryan returned my phone calls about my issue. We have talked and consulted few times so far.

The intake process was smooth, and compared to other firms I talked with, it was easier to come to an agreement about scope of services. Communication was easy, thorough, and prompt through the whole experience.
I came a crossed Ryan Ford’s website one sleepless morning, panicking and desperate for someone to help my son. My case is extremely convoluted and at times, likely not even believable to those that don’t know us. I called Ryan that day and rambled off 7 years of history, he was able to pick through my story and offer me valuable information that I didn’t know. That was January of this year. I knew nothing about special education law or the rights my son (all of our children) have. Ryan was extremely response and compassionate. My past experiences with lawyers is once you pay them, you hardly here from them again. Not Ryan, I couldn’t tell how invested he is in helping people like my son. If you are looking for a Special Education lawyer now, the likelihood of you needing one a while ago is very high. Not because of any reason of your own but because of system and because of the District that is supposed to stand up for children with special needs but unfortunately don’t. Ryan will shoot you straight and will be very upfront and honest with you but most he will at the very least, navigate you and help you be able to have a voice and stand up against the injustice that happens so often to our kids by the very people we are supposed to trust. Best wishes Ryan you will forever hold a spot in mine and my families hearts!
Ryan Ford is an attorney that is making a difference for all special needs students. I am so grateful that I was able to have Ryan Ford represent us. My case was extremely difficult and complicated. I was in a tight spot and my first hearing with the school district was due in 72 hrs. I didn't have an attorney and he agreed to take my case on short notice. In just a few short days he was able to win a STAY PUT motion and my son's transportation was reinstated while litigation was in process with the school district. He continued to hammer away at the facts and he was persistent. Ryan was passionate and fought hard for my son and WON!!!! Not only did Ryan win my son’s case but he set a precedent, and the special education students behind us will benefit from his hard work in the future. Ryan was always very attentive and responded to all of my calls and emails right away. I never felt like he left me out in the weeds and I was kept in the loop at all times. I am very satisfied with the legal services provided by Ryan Ford. I definitely would recommend his assistance to anyone I know that needs legal help. Ryan’s help made a big difference in my son’s education and I am forever grateful for all of his hard work! Thanks again Ryan!!!
Ryan was extremely professional, kind and sensitive while dealing with the special needs school issues for my son. He guided our family in a very objective and rational way on how to negotiate an IEP and keep my son in a general education environment with the support he needs. Ryan was always accessible via phone and email whenever we needed him. He provided us with not only legal advise but also the mental support and fortitude needed to deal with the school district. Highly recommended.
Mr. Ford was very driven and helpful. He expressed his concerns, made sure I understood how things may go and what we could try. Looked into the information that I sent him, was prompt in getting back to me. He did an amazing job with my case that wasn't typical.
Ryan returned my phone calls about my issue. We have talked and consulted few times so far.
Ryan was our savior! Seriously! Our daughter was in serious crisis and the school district became impossible to deal with. Ryan came in, calm and collected, asked questions and applied the needed pressure on the school district. He is VERY knowledgable, he understands what it takes to make REAL change and get the IEP team focused on the correct issues. He has the patience required to get the outcome we needed. When the school district's attorney shook his head then hung it low, we knew - the years of sleepless nights, hours of meetings, thousands of emails and millions of tears were going to stop. Ryan had done EVERYTHING we hired him to do. Ryan advised us, guided us, protected us, but more importantly, he saved our daughter. The district settled with us and agreed to pay all of the expenses, including transportation, for our daughter to go to a private school. She is VERY successful now. It is amazing what TRUE accommodations, scaffolding, and differentiation will do for a special needs child. Ryan met with us in the evenings and on weekends. He was VERY responsive to our emails and calls. You won't be disappointed in hiring him.

Ryan was always very attentive and responded to all of my calls and emails right away. I never felt like he left me out in the weeds and I was kept in the loop at all times. I am very satisfied with the legal services provided by Ryan Ford. I definitely would recommend his assistance to anyone I know that needs legal help. Ryan’s help made a big difference in my son’s education and I am forever grateful for all of his hard work! Thanks again Ryan!!!
Ryan was extremely professional, kind and sensitive while dealing with the special needs school issues for my son. He guided our family in a very objective and rational way on how to negotiate an IEP and keep my son in a general education environment with the support he needs. Ryan was always accessible via phone and email whenever we needed him. He provided us with not only legal advise but also the mental support and fortitude needed to deal with the school district. Highly recommended.
Mr. Ford was very driven and helpful. He expressed his concerns, made sure I understood how things may go and what we could try. Looked into the information that I sent him, was prompt in getting back to me. He did an amazing job with my case that wasn't typical.
Ryan returned my phone calls about my issue. We have talked and consulted few times so far.
Ryan was our savior! Seriously! Our daughter was in serious crisis and the school district became impossible to deal with. Ryan came in, calm and collected, asked questions and applied the needed pressure on the school district. He is VERY knowledgable, he understands what it takes to make REAL change and get the IEP team focused on the correct issues. He has the patience required to get the outcome we needed. When the school district's attorney shook his head then hung it low, we knew - the years of sleepless nights, hours of meetings, thousands of emails and millions of tears were going to stop. Ryan had done EVERYTHING we hired him to do. Ryan advised us, guided us, protected us, but more importantly, he saved our daughter. The district settled with us and agreed to pay all of the expenses, including transportation, for our daughter to go to a private school. She is VERY successful now. It is amazing what TRUE accommodations, scaffolding, and differentiation will do for a special needs child. Ryan met with us in the evenings and on weekends. He was VERY responsive to our emails and calls. You won't be disappointed in hiring him.
I had a relatively small legal need and received excellent service and clear communication from Ryan Ford and his office. The intake process was smooth, and compared to other firms I talked with, it was easier to come to an agreement about scope of services. Communication was easy, thorough, and prompt through the whole experience.
I came a crossed Ryan Ford’s website one sleepless morning, panicking and desperate for someone to help my son. My case is extremely convoluted and at times, likely not even believable to those that don’t know us. I called Ryan that day and rambled off 7 years of history, he was able to pick through my story and offer me valuable information that I didn’t know. That was January of this year. I knew nothing about special education law or the rights my son (all of our children) have. Ryan was extremely response and compassionate. My past experiences with lawyers is once you pay them, you hardly here from them again. Not Ryan, I couldn’t tell how invested he is in helping people like my son. If you are looking for a Special Education lawyer now, the likelihood of you needing one a while ago is very high. Not because of any reason of your own but because of system and because of the District that is supposed to stand up for children with special needs but unfortunately don’t. Ryan will shoot you straight and will be very upfront and honest with you but most he will at the very least, navigate you and help you be able to have a voice and stand up against the injustice that happens so often to our kids by the very people we are supposed to trust. Best wishes Ryan you will forever hold a spot in mine and my families hearts!
Ryan Ford is an attorney that is making a difference for all special needs students. I am so grateful that I was able to have Ryan Ford represent us. My case was extremely difficult and complicated. I was in a tight spot and my first hearing with the school district was due in 72 hrs. I didn't have an attorney and he agreed to take my case on short notice. In just a few short days he was able to win a STAY PUT motion and my son's transportation was reinstated while litigation was in process with the school district. He continued to hammer away at the facts and he was persistent. Ryan was passionate and fought hard for my son and WON!!!!
