Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Having practiced Criminal Law for more than 30 years, I sometimes worry that there are not enough young lawyers ready to take up the fight to protect the rights of our citizenry in the criminal courts. Jason Swindle however is a bright aggressive young Criminal Defense lawyer who through my association with him helps to allay those fears. He is an advocate of the highest integrity with the skills of a much more seasoned trial attorney in the courtroom. He is relentless in his efforts to assist his clients while at the same time commanding the respect of his fellow lawyers, the prosecution and the Judges before whom he practices. I am proud every time I get the opportunity to work with him and value his friendship in the legal community. I would highly recommend this lawyer."

"If I could sum-up Jason's lawyering skills in a few short words, they would read: dedicated, responsive, and extremely effective. I've known Jason for years. Although the courtroom's simply not for every lawyer, Jason is comfortable and effective in court. He has the ability to articulate himself and effectively advance his clients' interests on his feet when it matters. Judges and prosecutors like him and listen to him because he's honest and shoots straight. He is an excellent choice for anybody facing criminal charges, and I refer people to him without hesitation."

"I had the opportunity to sit as co-counsel with Mr. Swindle recently on a very complicated criminal case. It was a great experience for me to watch someone who has dedicated his career to perfecting his practice area. While many attorneys may dabble in becoming a "jack of all trades but master of none", Swindle has narrowed his focus to criminal defense and nothing more. It comes has no surprise, then, that his knowledge of criminal law is deep and thoughtful. He is certainly the attorney I would want to represent me or my family and I highly recommend him for any matter involving criminal defense."

"While working as an assistant public defender in Douglas County, I had the privilege of watching Jason handle some of the most serious and sensitive cases with precision and compassion. Jason was always prepared to match wits and intellect with the prosecutors and judges in an extremely difficult venue. It was obvious he put countless hours into his cases to ensure his clients were being protected and properly advised. Many times I was left speechless observing the positive results he was able to procure for his clients. If you are facing criminal accusations in the West Georgia area, then you should call Jason immediately. He is the go-to-guy in West Georgia!!"

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
