Great lawyer and great guy!

Mr. Swank was recommended to me by a friend, and I was not disappointed! My MIP case turned out to be much more difficult that originally expected, but Bill was able to work everything out with very little effort on my end. Would highly recommend him to all!

Best Lawyer in GA

Bill Swank is an extraordinary lawyer with a superb and communicative staff. He serves his clients needs with professionalism, thoroughness and is very knowledgeable about the legal system. He represented me in traffic court and helped me more than I ever thought possible. I also utilized Bill’s ex...pertise when I was sued by my landlord for not paying rent because of a severe ant infestation. Once everything was settled in court, the landlord ended up having to reimburse me for 5 months rent. 
I was very pleased and would never use anyone else. Mr. Swank is a pleasure to work with, easy to contact, and definitely gets the job completed in a timely manner. He is very experienced and is well known in the community as well. He always has his clients’ best interest in mind and I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs informative, legal counsel.

Fantastic Man and Spectacular Attorney

Mr. Swank represented me in a case as a result of a car accident. Unbeknownst to me, a warrant was issued for my arrest and I ended up in jail even though I committed no crime. He got me out immediately and had my record cleared. I recently recommended him to a friend of mine who was in a serious ...car accident. They hug me every time they see me because of the outstanding care and representation they received. Mr. Swank is a lifesaver. One of the finest people I know.

Personal injury lawyer | Mar 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had occasion to see Billy Swank in court representing clients in both personal injury matters and in matters of criminal defense. Billy knows no boundaries to zealous representation of his client. His manner in front of judges and juries is one in which each sees his view and understands his clear, concise presentation of facts and argument. His dealings with opposing counsel are professional yet firm. To be clear, Billy advocates and obtains not just the results his clients desire, but those that he desires which more often than not exceed his own clients wants. If in the ring, I would want Billy in my corner, or not at all in the ring! I endorse William Swank!"
