Before he became a lawyer, Ryan O’Connell saw firsthand the difference advocacy can make for a family in crisis.
As a teenager, Ryan attended his first trial after his cousin suffered serious injuries in an assault. Sitting in that courtroom and watching a lawyer fight on behalf of his family changed the way he viewed the law — and the role a legal advocate can play in someone’s life.
That experience ultimately led him to pursue a career dedicated to helping people who have been wronged.
Today, at Gould Grieco & Hensley, Ryan works with victims of catastrophic injury and wrongful death stemming from transportation crashes, workplace incidents, medical malpractice, and more.
What drives him is the opportunity to be the same kind of advocate for his clients that once made such a lasting impact on his own family — helping them find support, stability, and a way forward after devastating circumstances.
