Rosty Gore - Pro Bono Spotlight

At The Ryan Firm, we pride ourselves not only on delivering exceptional legal services but also on making a meaningful impact in the community. Today, we’re honored to share the inspiring pro bono work of our partner, Rosty Gore, who recently stepped up – devoting his personal time - to support a family devastated by the Palisades Fire.

When the fire claimed their home, this family faced not only the loss of their property but also the burden of a high-interest reverse mortgage. Rosty provided compassionate counsel and strategic representation, guiding them through the complex process of leveraging their insurance payout to pay off the mortgage and secure a stronger financial foundation. His efforts exemplify our firm’s dedication to using legal expertise to solve real-world problems—especially for those in need.

Whether it’s fighting for justice in the courtroom or offering pro bono support to our community, Rosty and our entire team are here to help you navigate life’s challenges with confidence. If you or someone you know could benefit from our services—be it in business disputes, real property law, or beyond—we’d welcome the opportunity to assist.

The clients’ words describe Rosty’s actions in this case best:

“Sometimes we find ourselves in places in life that we never thought we would be.  And so it was us when our life in a home of 41 years came to a violent and sudden end.  The Palisades fire came without an announcement and left, leaving no evidence that we had ever lived there.  We were emptied of everything.  Being in our later years, we were overwhelmed, daunted by the amount of paperwork we faced with the insurance company, the city and county and the ravenous reverse mortgage company.  We had so many questions and we were not sure where to turn, or even how to do it.  That's when The Ryan Firm came to our aid, and their lead trial attorney Rosty Gore personally stepped in to handle our case, devoting many hours of personal attention.  The Ryan Firm stepped in with their professionalism, answered our many questions, gave us sage counsel, streamlined the loan payoff process, and helped coordinate a reverse mortgage payoff to reduce the mounting costs.  They were quick to respond to our dire need and handled our difficult situation with care and expertise.  We are grateful for them and we have no doubt that they are one of the finest law firms in Southern California."
