Ryan Platt - Chicago, IL

Ryan Platt has multiple six figure settlements under his belt, speaks Spanish and Portuguese fluently, and has proficiency in Hebrew and Italian. He has worked as counsel to the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, and got his start representing corporations and insurers. This gives Ryan valuable insight into opposing council’s thought process and counteroffers for Workers’ Compensation cases. It allows him to anticipate arguments and formulate counter points in order to reach a quicker and move favorable outcome for his clients. “I decided to go into workers’ compensation because it means I get to represent people instead of companies,” Ryan said. “That means a lot.” One of Ryan’s most enviable traits is his ability to empathize with his clients. Fighting for their justice invigorates him. He excels in litigation and does not shy away from taking a case to court if a promising settlement can’t be reached. Ryan is not afraid of hard work. In fact, he is an avowed perfectionist. “Everywhere I go, I have an expectation that my work will be as close to flawless as possible,” Ryan said. To relax and unwind after a workday Ryan enjoys exploring his neighborhood in Portage Park, traveling, reading, and playing with his two children.
