Ryan C. Robison – Associate Bankruptcy Attorney, Lafayette Office, Serving Lake Charles Area

Ryan C. Robison is a dedicated consumer bankruptcy attorney serving clients from the Lafayette office of Simon Fitzgerald LLC. With over a decade of experience and admissions to practice before the Louisiana state and federal courts, as well as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Ryan brings both depth and compassion to every case. He focuses exclusively on consumer bankruptcy, helping clients regain control of their financial lives through strategic legal counsel and personalized support.

Ryan is particularly passionate about the first conversation with a client. He understands the emotional weight of financial stress and how intimidating the legal process can feel. “At that first meeting,” he says, “people often feel overwhelmed. That’s when we listen, clarify what’s happening, and lay out a step-by-step plan for moving forward.”

What to Expect When Working With Me:

  • Listen First – We begin with a conversation about your situation and the stress you’re facing.
  • Explore Your Options – I’ll help you understand your rights and the legal tools available to you.
  • Build a Plan – Together, we’ll develop a path forward tailored to your goals.
  • Guide You Through – I’ll represent you every step of the way—start to finish.

Ryan is driven by a sense of responsibility and purpose. He believes that when someone turns to Simon Fitzgerald for help, they are entrusting the firm with their future—and that’s a responsibility he takes seriously. Filing bankruptcy isn’t just paperwork; it’s a powerful legal remedy, and guiding someone through that process requires both empathy and precision.

Originally inspired by John Grisham novels and the idea of lawyers as everyday heroes, Ryan had early ambitions of playing center field for the Atlanta Braves. When he discovered he couldn’t hit a curveball, he pivoted to law—and never looked back.

Outside of the courtroom, Ryan is a lifelong fan of golf and golf course architecture. He and his wife, a nursing instructor at UL-Lafayette, are raising two boys in Acadiana. He also supports the LSU Tigers, New Orleans Saints, and Atlanta Braves with equal enthusiasm. His favorite movies and books range from The Goonies, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars, to The Fountainhead, Lord of the Rings, and the works of Tom Clancy and John Grisham.

Ryan’s message to clients is simple: “I want you to leave our meeting with a clear understanding of your legal options and a sense of control over your future.”
