OUR APPROACH

Richard Ryles

Born and raised in West Palm Beach, Attorney Richard A. Ryles understands this community deeply and has spent nearly three decades fighting for its injured residents. His lifelong connections and courtroom record make him a trusted advocate throughout the state of Florida for personal injury cases. He has won more than $75 million on behalf of his clients, acting as a fierce advocate for the injured.

Attorney Richard A. Ryles began his legal career in West Palm Beach in 1990, and officially established The Ryles Firm nearly 35 years ago, serving injured clients throughout Palm Beach County ever since.

Attorney Ryles has helped secure multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts for clients suffering serious injuries and wrongful death. His wins include:

  • Major recovery in a commercial truck collision in West Palm Beach
  • Substantial verdict in a negligent security lawsuit involving harm at a hotel
  • Multi-million dollar jury trial verdict for wrongful death due to negligent security

These outcomes reflect his firm yet compassionate trial-ready approach—always preparing each case for court, regardless of settlement offers.

In addition to his legal accomplishments, Attorney Ryles has been politically involved in his community as former President of the F. Malcolm Cunningham Sr. Bar Association, Chairman of the City of West Palm Beach Housing Authority, and West Palm Beach City Commissioner for District 3. With a legacy rooted in justice, service, and results, Attorney Ryles continues to stand up for the injured, fighting each case with the same passion he brings to his community.
