Ryan Allison

Ryan Allison has been an attorney since 2003.  Having grown up in the mountains of Kentucky and West Virginia, Ryan understands what it means to work hard.  His first job in the legal profession was in a prosecutor’s office, his second for a Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court.  After finishing law school Ryan worked as an attorney for the same law firm for the next fifteen years where he spent nearly all of his time in the courtroom.  In that time Ryan litigated civil trials that ended up with multiple million dollar verdicts or judgments.  He also won acquittals for defendants charged with everything from misdemeanors to murder.  Few attorneys in the area have the trial experience that Ryan does.

Ryan uses that experience not only for his clients, but he is also the head coach of the national mock trial powerhouse team from Montgomery County High School where he teaches high school students how to prepare complex legal arguments and think on their feet. In 2022 Montgomery County High School won the national high school championship.  They have also won the last three Kentucky state titles.
