Ryan is a practicing criminal defense attorney with over 20 years of experience fighting for clients throughout the State of Georgia. Since 1999, Ryan has advised, advocated for, and fought alongside hundreds of clients, helping them achieve acquittals and winning results. The criminal justice system is a high volume pipeline that left unchecked, can steamroll defendants and pressure them into unwanted plea bargains and unfavorable outcomes.
No person should face misdemeanor charges without a passionate, experienced and aggressive attorney at their side. Contact us today for a free consultation. In Georgia, a misdemeanor is any offense that can be punished by up to one year in jail. Felonies carry longer sentences and higher fines.

Misdemeanor charges in Georgia can arise out of illegal conduct such as shoplifting, drinking and driving, trespassing, vandalism, or possession or small amounts of marijuana.Misdemeanor charges can be upgraded, however, to a high and aggravated misdemeanor offense under certain circumstances. This may occur when an individual has committed the same offense on multiple occasions during a certain period of time.
Felony charges can lead to serious jail time, fines, and other criminal penalties. If you have been charged with a felony, we will fight with you and for you and build the best defense possible. In Georgia, all crimes punishable by more than one year in jail are considered felonies. Georgia does not have different classes of felonies but instead, the sentencing range is set by statute for each specific offense.
No matter is too small when it comes to your education. If you have been charged with university misconduct, you deserve to have the best defense possible. Contact our office today for a free consultation. You have worked hard all your life to get into a great school like The University of Georgia.
If you or a loved one has been accused of a sex crime, then you already know how serious the consequences of a conviction can be. Georgia has implemented severe punishments for individuals convicted of sexual offenses. Police will use strategies that encourage defendants to forfeit important constitutional protections, such as the right to remain silent.

Fantastic lawyer! I’ve worked with Ryan Swingle a number of times. As a business owner in Athens I know what it takes to succeed. Businesses are typically only given a few small opportunities to stand out. Thankfully Ryan Swingle Law has wow’d at every opportunity given and he has more than impressed. It is good to know that I have someone I trust in the legal field. Ryans advise was always extremely helpful and his professionalism shined. I hope I’m not in need of a lawyer anytime soon but if I am I definitely know who I’ll be calling. Thanks again Ryan and keep up the great work!
