Ike Ryan APLC

I am a Louisiana attorney with 25+ years of litigation and appellate experience. After graduating LSU Law School, I had the pleasure of clerking for Hon. Jeannette T. Knoll at both the Louisiana Supreme Court and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

For the next two decades, I enjoyed the fellowship and collegiality of the excellent attorneys at Deutsch Kerrigan, LLP. I handled a general commercial and defense oriented litigation docket, which included products liability, medical malpractice, toxic tort, class action, commercial disputes, employment litigation, and general casualty and personal injury cases. Since 2013, I have been named a “Best Lawyer” by U.S. News in the following areas: Appellate Practice, Commercial Litigation, Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions – Defendants, Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants, Product Liability Litigation – Defendants.

I’ve had numerous successes at the Louisiana Supreme Court, the United States Fifth Circuit, and every circuit court of appeal in Louisiana. In 2023, my colleagues voted me Lawyer of the Year for Appellate Practice.

I have a direct, solutions-oriented approach to the practice of law. I try to anticipate the trajectory of a case early, and I work to discover and exploit the angles that offer the best chance of a successful and cost-effective resolution.
