Ryan Koppelman

Ryan W. Koppelman practices criminal defense in Los Angeles at Ryan W. Koppelman Law PC, concentrating on DUI and misdemeanor matters. His work extends beyond Los Angeles County to Orange, Ventura, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Koppelman’s professional background includes the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office and a large law firm. He has tried cases before juries and judges as both a prosecutor and a defense lawyer. DUI prosecutions were part of that experience. California’s State Bar records his admission on June 26, 2013, and lists his license as active.

The firm maintains its office in the Bradbury Building on South Broadway. In describing its DUI defense work, it identifies several distinct points of review: the legal basis for a traffic stop, testing equipment’s calibration and maintenance, and the circumstances of field sobriety testing. Uneven roads, medical conditions and improper instructions are among the factors the firm says it examines in connection with those tests. Its review also addresses whether defendants were informed of their rights before and after arrest.

For misdemeanor matters, the firm lists service in the criminal courts of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties. It advertises a flat fee covering the entire case. Its description of the initial case evaluation includes explaining the available options before building a defense.
