Ryan Renauro

Personal Introduction

Ryan began his legal career in 2012, and soon after, he joined the Benton County Prosecutor’s Office in 2014. In his 5 years as a prosecutor, he handled nearly every type of criminal charge and assisted in hundreds of investigations with law enforcement. He has experience handling felony and misdemeanor bench trials and jury trials, violent crimes, cyber crimes, property crimes, and juvenile delinquency cases. The experience that impacted his career the most was working in the Benton County Treatment Court, where he received hundreds of hours of specialized training in substance use addiction, trauma-related services, and community resources designed to reduce recidivism. Ryan learned how important it is for those who may have made a mistake to be able to receive a second chance and not have that mistake ruin their life, which led him to transition to defense work, protecting clients from being victimized by the system and working to get them treatment instead of jail time. Since then, Ryan has worked tirelessly to build relationships with community partners to find and create new resources for his clients to get better outcomes on cases and provide answers to the question that everyone asks: “What do I do next?” He is committed to not only providing excellent legal representation and customer service but also a holistic experience so that his clients have the ability to change their lives for the better and get out of the vicious cycle of the criminal justice system. Ryan fights for every one of his clients and knows how to use the skills he’s learned to get the best result possible and provide an avenue of success for his clients’ futures.
