Attorney Ryan Huffman

WEBVTT 00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.090 I was born and raised in a small town in Arizona. 00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:09.250 There's not much to do there. 00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:12.920 A lot of my friends and family members fell into drug addictions or alcohol 00:00:12.945 --> 00:00:15.455 addictions and ended up getting in trouble. 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.320 I remember thinking, "Man, they are just getting railroaded by the 00:00:18.345 --> 00:00:20.960 system, left and right. These are good people that have problems. 00:00:20.985 --> 00:00:26.820 " It just felt like they were the underdog every time they went to court. 00:00:26.845 --> 00:00:29.535 That's when I decided, I want to do something about this. 00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:30.940 I want to help people who are going through what 00:00:30.965 --> 00:00:34.820 my loved ones are going through, and I want to fight the fight for them. 00:00:34.845 --> 00:00:38.840 It was really impacted by a case once where my client was facing charges that 00:00:38.865 --> 00:00:42.660 would have landed him in prison for life if he were convicted. 00:00:42.685 --> 00:00:46.260 He was an elderly gentleman who had no business dying in prison. 00:00:46.285 --> 00:00:51.340 During the officer's testimony, I was able to point out enough issues that 00:00:51.365 --> 00:00:54.935 the prosecutor came to me on a break and said, "Hey, I get it. 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.440 I finally get what you've been trying to tell me this entire time 00:00:57.465 --> 00:00:58.500 we've been working this case. 00:00:58.525 --> 00:01:01.920 I'm going to give you a plea to probation, your client should take it. 00:01:01.945 --> 00:01:08.200 " That individual, my client, instead of dying in prison, he now gets to 00:01:08.225 --> 00:01:10.040 spend his final years at home. 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.400 That's something I think about all the time. 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.020 Outside of work, I'm lucky enough to be married to my best friend. 00:01:15.045 --> 00:01:16.740 We love to do everything together. 00:01:16.765 --> 00:01:19.320 We travel, we cook, we clean. 00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:24.850 I also am an avid golfer, if I'm not in the office, Joe has a funny joke of, 00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:26.200 "Ryan is probably at the golf course. 00:01:26.225 --> 00:01:28.780 " Sometimes he's right, sometimes he's wrong. 00:01:28.805 --> 00:01:32.120 I hope once my client's case is over, I hope they all know that I 00:01:32.145 --> 00:01:33.780 tried my absolute hardest. 00:01:33.805 --> 00:01:35.290 We left no stone unturned. 00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:37.660 We left no argument unmade. 00:01:37.685 --> 00:01:41.380 We found every single detail about the case we possibly could, and 00:01:41.405 --> 00:01:45.175 I worked it to death in the hopes of getting them the best outcome possible. 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.820 I hope they know that I was honest with them the whole time. 00:01:47.845 --> 00:01:51.015 I told them the truth, I didn't sell false hope, 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.820 and I did get them the best outcome possible under the circumstances. 00:01:53.845 --> 00:02:00.375 My entire goal of my career is to help people, to fight for the underdog, and to 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.080 get the client the best result possible.
