Best lawyer around.

Helped me with my dui case. He explained everything in great detail. Saved me a lot heartache. And helped me again down the road with a violation of probation. Got it resolved quickly. And anytime you think that a lawyer is needed for any reason call Ryan.

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.

FIVE out of FIVE stars! Best in the business!

Ryan Schwartz is a great man, and an even better lawyer. I came to Ryan in my time of need to handle a drug possession charge, and he did more than defend me.... He got my case dismissed! Upon our first meeting, Ryan made it clear that it was his mission to make sure true justice was served in and ar...ound our community. Our case first came up at Doraville City Court, and the prosecutor would not even consider working with us. Ryan just asked me to trust him and his knowledge, and suggested that if we moved the case to state court, it would more than likely be handled in a swift, and timely, manner. Not only did he get the case handled in the manner that he promised, but he went as far as to work to get the case dismissed. I am personally indebted to Mr. Schwartz, and I recommend him to all of my colleagues. FIVE out of FIVE stars!

There when you need him

Typically, when someone requires the services of a lawyer they are undergoing a very tumultuous set of circumstances. However, the perfect lawyer is capable of putting you at ease while both you work to together to rectify your current situation – this is Ryan Schwartz. Ryan possesses certain cor...e traits that I feel all lawyers should have. He is knowledgeable, personable, always available and dedicated. He was by my side from beginning to end. I never spoke to a secretary or junior lawyer. – NEVER! Ryan was my sole point of contact. After our first meeting his stoic demeanor and confidence put me at ease. He masterfully navigated our course of action by developing a sound strategy and accurately predicting the prosecutor’s steps which led us to success. Ryan is undoubtedly a top notch attorney. If I ever need a lawyer again it will certainly be Ryan Schwartz. Thank you for all you did. I APPRECIATE YOU!

Don't let a Speeding Ticket ruin your day...Call Ryan

Ryan Schwartz is hands down the best criminal lawyer out, and is 100% the man to call when you need that helping hand!!! He NEVER judges, and fights for his clients the way you want your lawyer to fight. I had 2 speeding tickets in 2 different counties in a 1 month period. Ryan took care of it, and... kept all the points off my record. Don't hesitate to give Ryan a call if you in a pinch!!
