Ryan Adams is the founding partner of Fir Law Group, bringing over a decade of diverse legal experience to deliver practical, results-driven advocacy for individuals, families, small businesses, and rural property owners throughout Oregon.

Raised with a strong work ethic, Ryan put himself through college and law school by pouring concrete, framing houses, and serving in the military. His hands-on background informs his no-nonsense approach to solving real-world legal challenges.

Ryan’s career includes significant public service as City Attorney for a Portland Metro-area city, where he led the legal department, advised on municipal operations, and handled land use, contracts, litigation, and municipal prosecutions. Earlier, as Assistant City Attorney for the City of Wilsonville, he achieved notable appellate victories before the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA), Oregon Court of Appeals, and Oregon Supreme Court—including a landmark case against a state agency.

In private practice, Ryan has focused on representing farmers, small businesses, and property owners in civil litigation, landlord-tenant disputes, land use and real estate matters, business formation and transactions, estate planning, contract disputes, employment issues, and administrative appeals.

A dedicated member of the Oregon Army National Guard, Ryan currently serves as Deputy Regional Defense Counsel for the Western United States. He previously held the role of Command Judge Advocate for the 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, providing critical legal guidance during two overseas deployments, managing teams, and working with international partners.

Ryan is admitted to practice before the Oregon Supreme Court, the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He formerly chaired the Oregon State Bar’s Military and Veterans Law Section and served as a Planning Commissioner for the City of Canby.

Deeply rooted in the Willamette Valley, Ryan and his wife Rainie live on their farm, where he spends his free time outdoors—working the land, repairing equipment, or hunting.

At Fir Law Group, Ryan is committed to providing clear, strategic, and client-focused representation that protects what you’ve built and helps you move forward with confidence.
