About Firm Principal Ryan Lutz

Ryan Lutz is a Birmingham native who earned his undergraduate degree from Auburn University before returning to study at the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University.

Since joining the firm in 2006, Lutz has served Cory Watson clients by winning multi-million dollar verdicts such as a $25 million verdict in a faulty brakes product liability case against Nissan.

He has served as Co-Lead Counsel for nationwide consumer fraud class actions and settlements, taken leading roles in multidistrict litigations involving defective medical devices and pharmaceutical products, and led cases that resulted in changes to national safety standards for glass-front fireplace screens.
