I was arrested for public intoxication on Jan 9, 2023, and I contacted Ryan Swingle for helping navigate the misdemeanor. He quickly reached out to me after I first contacted for a consultation. He was friendly, understanding, and reassuring, and he clearly has experience in Athens and knowledge of w...hat he is doing. Whether by his expertise or through the nature of my charge, I did not even have to go to court. He was able to completely dismiss the charges. He also answered my many questions on how to navigate background checks etc. I highly recommend Ryan!

We contacted Ryan over a weekend regarding false allegations made against my husband. Ryan contacted us almost immediately and met with us on very short notice on a holiday. Ryan explained to us that he believed his role was to assist in shutting the investigation down before it went any further and ...he worked constantly for us. He remained in contact with us daily (multiple times a day) for 3 weeks, answered any questions we had, and constantly kept us informed. We worked together to gather information to provide to law enforcement to show show innocence to prevent charges from ever being brought against him. Without Ryan’s guidance the outcome of the investigation could have turned out very differently. We will always be grateful for Ryan’s knowledge, professionalism, communication, commitment, and compassion during a very difficult time.

I called Mr. Swingle because I was looking for help for a family member. He called me back personally and spent as much time on the phone with me as I needed, asked lots of questions, and made sure he completely understood what was going on. In the end, he said he wasn’t the person I needed, but woul...d reach out to another attorney he thought would be the right fit. When she wasn’t able to take on another case, he recommended 2 more attorneys with the qualifications we needed. He was still following up with me at 10:30 that night, making sure I got matched with the best person for the case. I hope I never need a criminal defense attorney, but I’d definitely hire him if I did.

I called Ryan based on other reviews here praising his compassionate approach, and I was not disappointed. I had never been arrested before in my life, and Ryan really helped to put me at ease from the outset as he explained court procedures and legal terminology and discussed options for my case. He... was very understanding and nonjudgmental about my situation. Either he or his assistant always responded to my questions in a timely manner, answering in as much detail as I required for my understanding. Ryan has many years of experience and it was evident that he has developed good working relationships with the local legal community. I am thrilled to report that my case was ultimately dismissed! I truly appreciate Ryan's and his assistant Cristina's hard work in getting me the best possible resolution!
