Virtus Law Group, LLP, founding partner Colby J. Ryan, originally from Las Vegas, NV, moved to San Diego to attend law school shortly after graduating early from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality Management.
Mr. Ryan obtained his Juris Doctorate degree from California Western School of Law, during which time he was recognized for his advocacy capabilities that he developed as a member of the CWSL Mock Trial team, receiving the CALI Academic Excellence Award in Evidence Advocacy, the Distinguished Advocate Award, and the Gordon & Holmes Oral Advocacy Scholarship.
During his time in law school, Mr. Ryan was a law clerk for three separate semesters for the Office of the Public Defender in San Diego, working in the Central Felony Division, Juvenile Delinquency Division, and Central Misdemeanor Division.
After graduating from law school, Mr. Ryan was hired as a graduate law clerk for the Office of the Public Defender in San Diego, where he continued to work with indigent clients with desperate legal circumstances. Following his clerkship, Colby founded both the Law Offices of Colby J. Ryan and then shortly thereafter, Jones Ryan Trial Attorneys, where he continued to assist dozens in the San Diego community at both the state and federal levels.
