Ryan Bruning

I always knew I wanted to be a personal injury attorney. My father, also a personal injury attorney, talked about the gratifying and fulfilling moments helping injured clients in times of need.

About Me: Ryan Bruning

I started this path by attending DeSmet Jesuit High School, where I played football and ran track. I then attended college at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and after Mizzou, I began law school at Saint Louis University. It was during this time that I solidified my desire to be the champion to those in need against large insurance companies. During law school I worked with my dad while he was a partner at Leritz, Plunkert and Bruning. There I learned the basics of the legal system from well-established and experienced attorneys.

St. Louis MO Personal Injury Lawyer

I directly assisted with several large jury trials, conducted numerous hearings and mediations, and, in the end, helped many clients see favorable results. During my time in law school, I also wanted to gain other experiences to enhance my legal education, and so I interned at the St. Louis City Circuit Attorney’s Office and worked at the Saint Louis University Defense Clinic, where I was nominated as Clinic Student of the Year. Although these positions were gratifying and helped in gaining trial experience, I ultimately decided that personal injury law is where I belong.
