David Ryan is a litigator who brings First Chair trial and arbitration experience having handled a variety of civil matters in Oregon and Washington state and federal courts. His work is primarily focused on resolving disputes involving insurance coverage, professional liability, and general liability claims, including claims associated with environmental remediation and property damage. 

Dave has a long history of defending insurers facing insurance coverage and bad faith claims as well as first-party and third-party claims. Clients appreciate his no-nonsense approach. He cuts to the chase on a claim to serve as a good steward of his client’s budget and eliminate unnecessary costs. Dave makes recommendations on resolving cases quickly and works with clients as a team to facilitate the decision-making process.

Growing up in New Jersey, Dave was a three-sport athlete, which became a fundamental part of his life. He grew into an avid recreational athlete, coaching and actively participating on multiple soccer, baseball, and softball teams. After serial ACL reconstruction surgeries, he was resigned to playing slow-pitch softball and volunteering as an over-involved team parent and club director. But the teamwork attitude was ingrained in him since he was a kid and he carries the “No I in team” philosophy to this day.
