Ryan has practised exclusively in family law since being called to the Ontario Bar in 2014, advising on parenting, child and spousal support, property division, marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements, separation agreements, mediation, litigation, and appeals.

Resolution-oriented but litigation-tested, Ryan has appeared in over 40 reported court decisions and at every level of court in Ontario, including several matters before the Ontario Court of Appeal. He has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in Canada for his work in Family Law since 2025.

Ryan founded Kniznik Family Law on the belief that clients deserve both compassion and candour — clear guidance through one of life's most difficult transitions, backed by real courtroom experience.

Outside of practice, Ryan can be found trying the city's newest restaurants, chasing personal bests on the Peloton, and spending time with his family.
