Great Lawyer "Ryan Craig Caldwell

I had to used a couple of lawyer's in my life time, but Ryan has been the best one yet. He is very Professional. He lets you know whats going to happen and what he can do for you. It is good to know there are honest respectiable professionals like Ryan out there. I went to his office and he sat down ...with me and layed it all out. Before the time i was to appear in court that day I was worried what was going to happen to me. The day I went to court he met me there and assure me everything was going to ok. I am very thankfull that Ryan was my lawyer. Super guy, trusting and down to earth guy and makes it easy to understand the process what was going to happen. If anyone is out there looking for a great lawyer Ryan is the perfessional attorney you need to check out.

Ryan Caldwell saved me my job and family.

As a 58-year old man, I thought I had experienced most everything. A marriage, children, divorce, a new marriage, unemployment then under-employment. So being pulled over that night in downtown Nashville for having too many drinks wasn't what I needed -- nor my family and new job. And it was my *se...cond* offense. I had heard about Ryan Caldwell from some friends at my former job who required his services; two for drunk driving and another for possession of an illegal substance. After a quick and easy consult with Ryan over the phone, I was confident that he was for me. And when we met in person at court, I knew it I chose correctly!. First, as ashamed as I was, he spoke to me like a friend without judging me or my circumstances. He was sensitive to my family and work situations and really soothed my mind -- and that of my new wife. He explained in detail the process of getting me the lowest charge possible but while also being realistic, and navigated me through the process in such a way that I could understand. On the court date, I was really nervous, but Ryan calmed me down. And sure enough, the judge charged me with just reckless driving which will be removed from my records -- and employers' radars! And if you think this kind of service costed me an arm and a leg, think again! I price shopped before I went with Ryan, and his fees are more than competitive. If this were to ever happen to me again, or to my family and friends, they're calling Ryan Caldwell! -

Ryan Caldwell - a highly knowledgeable and thorough expert in criminal defense law

With no reservations, I would absolutely recommend this attorney. A few months ago I was convicted in a DUI case occurring in Nashville, Tennessee. It was my second offense and I knew that I was guilty of the crime (failed the FST and "blew" above the limit). I didn't feel as though the attorney i...n my prior conviction was thorough enough or invested considerable time to my case, as friends with similar histories were given a more lenient punishment. So I reached out to a trusted friend who strongly recommended Ryan Caldwell to represent me. What impressed me the most about Ryan was his ability to ease my anxiety and objectively give me options, best and worst case scenarios. He studied my case with considerable effort, demonstrating depth of knowledge, and asked me pertinent questions which demonstrated thorough analysis of my case. On the day of my hearing, he really eased my nerves and walked me through each step of the process. My wife was working at the time and was unable to be with me through the course of the hearing. So it meant a lot for my attorney to stand by my side through the entire duration. Needless to say, the outcome of my case was much better than expected, and I left feeling as though a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Since this time, I've recommended Ryan to several of my friends, and and they have all been more than impressed. If you or your friends ever find yourself in this situation, I cannot recommend a better person to represent you.

Honest, Professional & Maintained my best interest!

Ryan is the consummate professional while maintaining an open line of communication and most of all an honest rapport. I was fortunate enough to have found Ryan when in a bind, and he was able to reduce the charges while keeping my best interest the entire way through. I strongly recommend his servi...ces.

DUI Reduced!

Ryan handled my DUI charge and got it reduced. I would recommend talking to him first before speaking with any other attorneys. He's excellent.
