Ryan Tank is an attorney at Spector and Lenz whose practice is focused exclusively on Social Security disability and federal court litigation. He represents adults and children appealing Social Security disability denials before the Appeals Council and in federal district courts, guiding clients through complex administrative and appeals processes with precision and deep institutional knowledge. Prior to joining Spector and Lenz, Ryan served as an Attorney Advisor for the Social Security Administration’s Office of Hearings Operations — the office within which disability hearings are conducted before Administrative Law Judges — where he gained firsthand insight into the decision-making process that now informs his advocacy on behalf of claimants. Earlier in his career, he practiced at a general practice law firm in downstate Illinois, building a broad legal foundation before transitioning to his exclusive disability focus. He earned his J.D., magna cum laude, from Loyola University Chicago School of Law, and his B.S. from Bradley University.
