About Ryan Watson

A Missouri native, Attorney Ryan Watson attended school at the University of Missouri- Columbia, where he earned his law degree. After earning his law degree, Attorney Watson worked in a variety of legal fields, one of which allowed him to represent insurance companies dealing with personal injury claims. This experience gave Ryan a very thorough understanding of the insurance companies’ methods in personal injury cases, which now puts him at a great advantage when representing personal injury victims.

His knowledge of the inner workings of big insurance companies makes it easier to represent the interests of individuals fighting for fair compensation from their insurers. This involvement also taught him about the details of the claims process, which makes Attorney Ryan Watson better able to deal with complex insurance matters.

During his years in practice, Ryan has been admitted to practice law in Federal courts, the Western District of Missouri, Kansas, and Missouri. He is also a member of the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys.

Ryan is dedicated to his clients, and he treats each and every case as if he were advocating for a family member or dear friend. He always strives to be personable and relatable in order to encourage trust and understanding through each leg of the legal process. His ultimate goal is to maximize each client’s recovery as efficiently as possible, utilizing aggressive, strategic legal tactics both in and out of the courtroom.

Attorney Ryan Watson also uses his legal knowledge to educate and assist others. He regularly speaks at continuing legal education seminars regarding bad faith and insurance coverage. When he is not practicing law, Ryan enjoys coaching youth basketball and baseball.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
