Prior to becoming a United States ArmySecond Lieutenant, Ryan Whitaker was an enlisted soldier and attended  Basic Training at Fort Benning, Georgia and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Bliss, Texas. 

He received an educational delay to attend law school and in 2008 graduated from Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University.   He is licensed to practice law in Ohio.

While Mr. Whitaker was in his second year of law school he was accepted into the Judge Advocate General Corps of the United States Army and for the next four years will be on active duty assignment helping our great men and women of the Armed Forces execute their missions successfully and safely.

During his three years working at Whitaker and Shade as a law clerk and then as a lawyer he was exposed to many different areas of the law.  He gained valuable experience participating in trials and preparing complex legal documents in different county courtrooms including Butler County, Warren County and Hamilton County. 

Mr. Whitaker hopes to continue accelerating his learning of general practice in the areas of estate planning, family law, criminal law and personal injury as well as international law and the Uniform Code of Military Justice during his tour of duty.
