Local & Reliable Legal Guidance

After graduating, Ryan began his legal career in Atlanta, working alongside some of the city’s most respected criminal defense attorneys. This experience gave him firsthand insight into high-level defense strategy and courtroom performance, laying the foundation for a well-rounded and battle-tested legal career.

In 2013, Ryan started work as an Assistant District Attorney with the Cherokee County DA’s Office. Over the next three years, he prosecuted a wide range of cases, from DUI and drug charges to aggravated assaults, child molestation, and other serious felonies. Between his time as a prosecutor and defense attorney, Ryan has handled thousands of criminal cases—ranging from traffic citations to the most serious violent felonies.

In 2016, Ryan left the courtroom temporarily to launch a real estate company with his wife Ashley. Over the next several years, they developed subdivisions and built dozens of custom homes throughout Cherokee County. Despite his success in business, Ryan always felt the pull of the courtroom and the calling to defend people in their most critical moments.

Today, Ryan has returned to full-time legal practice and teamed up with his former trial partner, Jay G. Wall, to provide aggressive, skilled, and personalized criminal defense. Whether in negotiations or at trial, Ryan brings his experience and relentless dedication to every client he represents. Outside of law, Ryan is a proud husband, father, and volunteer football coach with the Cherokee High School Junior Warriors, where he enjoys mentoring young athletes and giving back to the community that shaped him.
