Ryanne E. Overom

An attorney with more than 15 years of experience in wide-ranging areas of the law, Ryanne Overom has developed a practice focused on helping clients to solve problems before they occur. Whether working with individual clients on developing an estate plan, or with Overom Law’s corporate and municipal clients on a range of issues, Ryanne enjoys implementing creative and proactive legal strategies that anticipate future possibilities, and plan accordingly.

Although the legal profession is increasingly focused on intense and narrow fields of specialization, Ryanne charted a different course, spending the early portion of her career accumulating a broad base of experience as a general practice attorney. With experiences ranging from conducting a full jury trial and regularly appearing in court on criminal and civil cases, to the management of a widespread easement acquisition process for a municipality, Ryanne gained firsthand knowledge of diverse areas of the law - and the ways in which individuals, companies, and government entities can be affected. This path afforded her the opportunity to hone and focus her practice over time on the areas she finds most impactful for clients.

Today, many clients feel their options for legal assistance are constrained to the extremes of either using automated, generic legal forms from the web on one hand, or engaging attorneys who start billing the moment they pick up the phone on the other. Ryanne, however, still believes in the value of taking the time to understand her clients’ goals and intentions, in order to create a solution that is best suited to each particular circumstance. Providing advice but also education, Ryanne seeks to ensure that each client understands the process, and the pros and cons of each potential course of action.

Ryanne is a graduate of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Speech. She earned her Juris Doctor degree from Saint Louis University School of Law.

Ryanne is licensed to practice law in Minnesota and Missouri. Her primary practice area is in Estate Planning, with an additional focus in Municipal Law, Business Planning, Commercial Law, and Corporate Law.

A native of Duluth, Ryanne resides with her family in the Twin Cities.
