At the Law Office of James Swindle, P.C.,

We understand that even minor charges can have a major impact on your life

Whether you're facing a DUI, traffic violation, or misdemeanor charge, having an experienced defense attorney on your side can make all the difference. Our goal is to protect your rights, minimize penalties, and help you move forward with confidence.

DUI Defense

Driving under the influence (DUI) is one of the most serious traffic-related charges a person can face in Georgia. Convictions can result in fines, license suspension, increased insurance rates, mandatory classes, and even jail time.

We provide DUI defense for:

  • First-time DUI charges
  • Repeat DUI offenses
  • Underage DUI
  • Refusal of breathalyzer or field sobriety tests
Our firm will review every detail of your case, challenge improper procedures, and work to achieve the best possible outcome.

Traffic Violation Defense

Traffic violations may seem minor, but they can quickly add points to your driving record, raise your insurance rates, and in some cases, result in license suspension.

Common traffic violations we defend include:

  • Speeding tickets
  • Reckless driving
  • Driving without insurance or registration
  • Failure to yield or stop
  • Driving with a suspended license
Our team is dedicated to helping clients reduce or dismiss charges and protect their driving privileges.

Misdemeanor Case Defense

Misdemeanors may not carry the same weight as felonies, but they can still affect your freedom, reputation, and future opportunities.

We handle a wide range of misdemeanor cases, including:

  • Shoplifting and theft
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Simple assault or battery
  • Trespassing
  • Minor drug possession
With strong representation, it's often possible to reduce penalties, negotiate alternative sentencing, or fight for dismissal.
