ABOUT

ryan pinkney

Ryan Pinkney is a personal injury attorney who understands the profound impact an accident can have on someone’s life. That is why he aggressively fights for each of his clients.

Ryan is a So-Cal native and was raised in Yorba Linda. He played soccer for Esperanza High School and won the CIF Championship in 2004. He went on to play soccer for Vanguard University and won the GSAC Championship in 2005.

Ryan received a degree in Political Science from California State University, Fullerton, and began working in the legal department of a mortgage lending company in Brea shortly after. While working full-time at the lending company, Ryan attended Whittier Law School, where he received two CALI awards, remained on the Dean’s List and Honor Roll, and was a finalist in the Susan B. McGuigan oral advocacy competition. Ryan graduated from law school and was admitted to the California State Bar in 2016.

After graduating from Whittier, Ryan became Corporate Counsel for the lending company and handled a plethora of matters related to mortgage lending, real estate, corporate, and employment law. Looking to further enhance his skills in the courtroom, Ryan joined a prestigious civil litigation firm in Seal Beach, where he successfully litigated a variety of complex real estate, employment, and business disputes on behalf of his clients.

With five years of experience in personal injury litigation, Ryan’s desire to help people in his community was the driving force behind his switch to this area of law. His acrimony towards those seeking to undermine, trivialize, and demean the pain and suffering of innocent victims spurs him to tirelessly fight for the justice and compensation his clients deserve. Ryan truly takes his clients’ injuries “personal.”

In addition to his litigation experience, Ryan currently serves as President of the Celtic Bar Association and is an active member of the OCTLA, OCBA, and CAALA, furthering his commitment to the legal profession and community.

When not fighting to win for his clients, Ryan plays in three competitive soccer leagues and enjoys watching Premier League matches with his friends. His competitive drive to win carries over into his practice of law and pushes him every day.

"It probably took a little over a year but Ryan Pinkney, my attorney, kept me informed throughout the process, from start to finish, and had me decide how far I wanted to take my case.  I found that to be rare.  I am definitely satisfied with the work that was done and I would call upon them again.  And should anyone that I personally care for, need legal assistance & representation in this area I would refer them. Thank You Ryan!"

After being referred to Ryan for a medical malpractice issue, I felt supported from day one. He walked me through the entire process, answered every question, and made sure I was fully prepared—especially for my deposition. His professionalism, kindness, and deep understanding put me at ease during such an overwhelming time. Ryan truly fought for what was fair and never made me feel alone in it. I’d confidently recommend him to anyone needing a dedicated and compassionate attorney."
