The BEST lawyer in the Athens area!

At first I was only consulting with Ryan about my case and ended up hiring him last minute to help me out. With Ryan’s help, I will be able to get my charges off my record with minimum cost and I cannot thank him enough for it! I was so stressed and he helped me with everything. If you ever need a la...wyer I definitely recommend hiring Ryan!

We hired Ryan to represent our son in a complex DUI case that involved 2 counties & 1 City Ryan worked relentlessly to argue for our son in all jurisdictions. With his fact finding skills and knowledge of the law he put forth a very compelling case. We got the preferred outcomes on all fronts bu...t even if the decisions were not made as desired we feel that his preparation & performance could not have been better for any amount or by anyone By all accounts he went the extra mile & then some! I highly recommend Ryan Swingle to anyone needing an Attorney!!!

Serious Sex Crime Case Resolved

In April of 2015, a girl I had dated for 3 years accused me of raping her. I was arrested and charged with 3 separate felonies because of these accusations. After 3 weeks in jail, I finally received a bond hearing. Thus began nearly 3 years of my case being put on the back burner. During those 3 year...s, I moved to another state, got married, bought a house, started a family... pretty much moved on with my life. The funny thing about problems is that they always come back to get you in the end, and after three years of pretty much not thinking about this case, I received a letter from the ACC Clerk of Courts that I was due in court... IN 2 WEEKS! Needless to say, I was stunned. I hadn't spoken to the Public Defender who was assigned to my case in almost a year! To make matters even worse, when I reached out to my Public Defender, he emailed me to let me know that he had retired the previous August! I was absolutely distraught, had no idea what was going on and had no clue what to do. The Public Defender who was responsible for my case sent another email the next day recommending that in a case as serious as mine, I should seek a criminal defense attorney and he recommended Ryan Swingle and another lawyer. It might seem silly, but I called Ryan initially because his website looked a little more "put together" than the other guy. He answered quickly and I explained the situation to him. He explained his fee and after consulting with my wife, we pulled the trigger. Ryan immediately sprung into action. He was able to get a continuance on the case to get us some time to build a defense and ultimately, after building a defense, Ryan used the evidence and his powerful negotiating skills to bring the case to a resolution. To be perfectly clear, I was looking at 90 years in prison. With the plea deal Ryan negotiated, I received NO jail time and DID NOT have to register as a sex offender. To top it all off, once I complete probation, my record will be sealed and it will be like this nightmare never even happened! That probably gives you an idea of how fantastic Ryan is. But it certainly does not tell you the small things he does to make that big picture come to fruition. Ryan took the time to listen to me, he reviewed all discovery thoroughly, he explained everything and fielded questions from me, my wife, and even my mother-in-law. He kept in constant contact during this experience and was always upfront with me about all possibilities. At the end of the day, this man is professional, he carries himself well, he is beyond intelligent, and he actually CARES about his clients. The old saying goes that "you get what you pay for." With Ryan, you truly do. His fees are equal to the severity of the charges, so in my case, it was a pretty penny. Ryan's services are not cheap, but he earns every single penny you give him. I bet the rest of my life on that, and he delivered. Thank you for everything you did for me, Ryan. You gave me my life back and while I hope I never find myself in a situation to use your services again, you'll always be the first call I make should I ever have to.

One of the best attorneys you will find in Georgia

I met Mr. swingle almost 10 years ago when he was doing cases for the circuit defender. At that time I did not pay attention to his dedication as my case was extremely emotional. This man I thought left me in the court without even stating anything to me. He is articulate that he went next door to Ka...y attention to the jury selection. Which I was not aware and jumped to conclusions to this day I still feel guilty as his techniques are beyond excellent he won my jury trial in 10 minute verdict. He didn't even use my witnessed. He used the witnesses against me and the judge was even trying to help the solicitor. Mr. Swingle is the best attorney you can hire. I am not saying this just because he won my jury trial. Excuse this man dedicated his life to the community and with his skills he could of went straight to private practice and made millions. Instead he chose a different path and helped the less fortunate. And did it for years. Instead of him getting fat of profit he is for the people. I greatly suggest if you desire your money not to be taken and have an excellent attorney this is the only person I recommend and I know dozens of attorneys that will easily charge you 100k or more and will not life a finger for you
