Highly Recommend Ryan Schwartz as a Criminal Defense Attorney for Cherokee County, Georgia

I highly recommend Ryan Schwartz as a Criminal Defense Attorney for Cherokee County, Georgia. When I got arrested, I had absolutely no contact with my husband, and I had to have my dad (out of state) find a lawyer to help me through the Justice system. My dad hired Ryan, who came to see me within 4...8 hours of being incarcerated, and he helped me get bond set to a very reasonable price. He even helped me figure out the logistics as to how to coordinate with the Bail Bondsman, and what to do after I was released, prior to court. I was not allowed to return to my home, but Ryan helped me appeal that part of my bond, and within a few weeks, I was able to return home to my family. Additionally, he checked in with me regularly to make sure I was abiding by the corners of my bond, as well as to make sure I was doing well emotionally. Ryan truly cares about his clients. I can tell you that much. When it came down to the court date, I was extremely terrified, but Ryan helped reduce my fears, and helped explain to me that the plea bargain he had worked out for me was EXCEPTIONAL considering my charges, and in fact, he even had the plea reduced more than the Prosecutor had originally agreed to. If you are in a bind, and you need a Criminal Defense attorney, I recommend Ryan Schwartz. He will follow through with everything he says he will do, and he is very quick to respond to all inquiries. His price was also very reasonable. I very much appreciate what Ryan has done for our family, and I am sure you will be pleased with him as well. Thank you, Ryan, for being the OUTSTANDING lawyer that you are! A+++++ customer service.

A grateful client.

When our son was in need of an attorney in Atlanta we quickly contacted friends who knew the legal community in the Atlanta area. Ryan's name was among three we were given. On a Sunday morning he answered our call and advised us how to help our son get out of jail. He then met with my son the nex...t day and gave him a game plan for dealing with his situation. He kept our son informed and communicated regularly with the appropriate people involved in the case. It took awhile, but the case was sensitive and required patience. However, by doing as he instructed and being patient, the case was dropped. A pragmatic and caring man, Ryan knew what to do and chose to do it with compassion and respect. A terrible situation had a "best case" conclusion. We could not be more pleased.

Absolutely great

Mr ryan not only got the court to give me a less harsher punishment, but he has worked with me since day one. As soon as i came to him he gave me the most reasonable price that ive ever heard of a lawyer give someone like me with a poss. Of marj. Charge and speeding violation. He never once hassled... me or made me feel like i was lower than him. He is truly a caring God fearing man that is not only for his job but truly for helping others in any way possible. He knew i was in a money crisis situation and he worked with me, he was very understanding and if i didn't have all the money at once he never dropped me as long as i communicated and let him know what was going on. Alot of other attorneys just try to Rob you dry and you still end up getting a crazy charge or have to soend and immense amount of money and they way he was able to handle eveything showed me there are great people in this world still that dont just care about what they can get and be done.. If anyone is ever looking for an compassionate, informative, and selfless attorney i would absolutely recommend mr. Ryam Schwartz. Without him and having someone else who knows how things would have turned out. So thank God for him and all he has done and was willing to do.

Amazing Results, best lawyer in town

I am shouting to the world, Ryan Swartz is the lawyer of choice! My son was speeding and was involved in a car accident. He was facing a DUI, wreckless driving, drug possession, and open container charges. We were referred to a firm by a friend and Ryan was assigned to the case. I felt at ease after ...speaking with him and I saw the trust in my son’s eyes at the 1st consultation. I found him to be very knowledgeable, smart and caring. I feel this goes a long way when one is facing a legal problem and the element of unknown. Ryan not only provided valuable legal advice but he also gave PRICELESS advice in the area of personal development to my son. Ryan was very accessible. If he was in court or tied up with another client he would always call back in a very timely manner. On one occasion, I spoke to him on a Friday evening just before a major holiday. Ryan said that if I needed him he would make time to speak to me on Saturday which was the 4th of July holiday weekend. I think most lawyers would have advised me to call them next week after the holiday when they were back in the office. So just before the arraignment, Ryan left the firm he was working at. This meant that the large firm received all but a small portion of the retainer fees paid. However, Ryan assured me he was committed to see the case through to the end. He worked diligently on my son’s behalf and it shows. Ryan negotiated and he was able to GET THE DUI CHARGE DROPPED! This along speaks volumes! I heard that this rarely if ever happens. Through his negotiations my son took a plea to wreckless driving and possession with 1 year probation, random alcohol and drug testing with contingency to expunge the procession after 1 year. Ryan will do all possible for the best outcome. He has a wealth of knowledge, a large network and resources that add a lot of value as he was a former prosecutor. If you need a lawyer for anything, DUI, personal injury, divorce, or a domestic case, look no further.
