About

Ryan Tatum grew up on a farm and ranch in central Oregon where he learned the importance of hard work. He moved to the Treasure Valley to attend Northwest Nazarene University and also attended Boise State University. He worked for the Payette County Sheriff’s Office from 2005 until he left in 2013 to finish his undergrad and attend law school. While at Payette County, Mr. Tatum worked as a Detention (jail) Deputy then as a Patrol Deputy. Mr. Tatum was a Field Training Officer, Breath Testing Specialist, DUI Detection and Legal Update Trainer, and was an Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (A-RIDE) certified deputy. Mr. Tatum took calls for service of all types and specialized in prescription drug and illicit drug DUI detection and testing. Mr. Tatum led all in-county officers in total arrests and DUI arrests in 2010, 2011, and 2012 yet he also strived to treat all individuals fairly, preserving not only incriminating evidence but also all evidence favorable to a defendant (exculpatory evidence). In addition to local and administrative testimony, Mr. Tatum testified several times in federal district court on motions to suppress and at trials in cases resulting in sentences of greater than 30 years.Mr. Tatum completed a Bachelor of Science in Public Safety from Capella University, graduating Summa Cum Laude in September of 2014. In August of 2014, Mr. Tatum began law school. During the summers following his 1L and 2L years, Mr. Tatum interned at Bublitz Law Office. Mr. Tatum participated in the Criminal Law Clinic through the Boise City Attorney’s Office. Like many law students, Mr. Tatum balanced studying with other obligations. These included staying involved in the lives of his seven children, a part time job, being a two term president of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society Student Chapter, serving as President of the Student Bar Association, and serving in church leadership positions. Mr. Tatum graduated in the top third of his class and was admitted to the Idaho Bar in 2017. The Tatum family moved to Helena, MT for Mrs. Tatum’s work. While in Helena, Mr. Tatum worked for the Department of Health and Human Services as a skilled and unskilled nursing home facility surveyor, auditing facilities’ and medical providers’ compliance with federal Medicare and Medicaid regulations as well as state regulations. When the opportunity arose to move back to the Boise area, the Tatum family did so and Mr. Tatum accepted a position with Filicetti Law Office where he practices criminal defense, law enforcement representation (criminal and civil), personal injury (plaintiff’s work), and select employment law (plaintiff’s work). Mr. Tatum is a member of the Idaho Trial Lawyers Association. Prior to the closure of Concordia University Portland causing the closure of Concordia Law in Boise, he served as a mentor for law students at Concordia Law where he was also active with leadership of the alumni association.
