Join the Class Action Against Judge Ryan

The Oliver Bell Group is actively investigating and pursuing claims for individuals negatively affected by Oakland County Chief Probate Pro Tem Judge Kathleen Ryan.

These revelations have shaken trust in her ability to administer justice fairly. Despite the gravity of the situation, the Chief Judge took no immediate action to remove her from cases involving Black or LGBTQ+ individuals or attorneys until public pressure mounted. The legal system failed to address the issue in a timely manner, and many individuals were potentially harmed as a result. orientation may have influenced decisions.
