I recommended a friend who is not from the Carroll County area to Mr. Swindle as I had used his services back in 2021. My friend who I recommended was charged with a dui in September of 2024 and we did not hear back from the Swindle team until October 2nd of 2025. Despite our many attempts of reaching this law group Tana was unprofessional and rude, and that was in the rare event she actually picked up the phone. Jason Swindle was supposedly in the hospital due to heart complications, and Steve guaranteed us an outcome we would be satisfied with, verbatim he assured us if we didn't like what they offered he would work with us to an outcome we could be happy with. Again, we had not heard from this team for an entire year despite our immediate $3500 payment. We went to the court hearing October 3rd 2025 which was postponed due to the arrest of Jason Swindle the day prior. He had shown up to court intoxicated, ironically. The court date was once again postponed to September 3rd 2025 and our new attorney was his partner Steve, who showed up disheveled and smelling of alcohol. His appearance was that of someone they hired off the street and his actions were not any different. He stared at the ground the entirety of the time in front of the judge, there was no representation and no defending my friend after our payment, our time, and our many attempts at reaching out. Tana, Steve, and Swindle are dishonest, uncooth, and greedy. They couldn't care less of the outcome of your life. They are in it for the money, it's like play attorney and they are just bad at it. Save yourself the headache with this group. There are many better attorneys in the area, Duke and Heath and Duffee are more appropriate representatives. Jason, I hope your poor excuse of rehab to evade jail serves you well, or doesn't, as much as you cared about the outcome of my friend is the amount of care I will give to the outcome of your health and time. Also, who shows up to court DRUNK after spending a year in the hospital, LIAR!

Jason Swindle is hands-down the best defense attorney in town--if not in the entire state. He was…read morealways quick to respond and gave direct, honest answers without sugarcoating anything. Thanks to his straightforward approach, I was fully prepared for what could happen in court and never caught off guard. Jason took the time to explain everything in detail so I understood every step of the process. His professionalism, dedication, and honesty made a huge difference in my case. Words can't fully express how grateful I am to have had Jason Swindle on my side. I would recommend him without hesitation for any of your defense needs

Talked a good game though... said I'm worth the money wait till you see me in action!? BS!!! She didn't even fight for my case in court ! Then bill me over and over saying I owe more money AND I DONT which they finally figured out! Even if I did she would have to take me to court to get it!shes rude and speaks to people who are PAYING her to work for them like they are garbage! You work for me remember that Candice ! Your not paying us! Then she only does what the DA says she never fights! I have a friend who's an attorney that I met not long ago and he could not believe the deal she got me! He said tell me you are joking!!! Unfortunately I am not! I have another friend name Chris who had her for one case then when he had another case come up he didn't want her on that case because he learned his lesson too! She is not a good lawyer and will talk to you like you are trash! You don't even feel comfortable calling and asking her questions because you will get yelled at! Anyway heed my warning or suffer the consequences! lol

If you're looking for someone who will genuinely support your case, he is definitely not the right choice. He communicates in an unprofessional manner and often rushes through your case just to complete it quickly. He clearly doesn't care about the outcome.

You will feel he is bothered by having to speak or interact with you even though you have payed him well for his services and in the end he will withdraw from the case because he " doesn't have time for you". This attorney gave my personal information after I fired him to the other party in the case to use against me during trial. I guess he does not understand the rules of Georgia State Bar for client confidentiality Rule 1.9! Stay away from this attorney period!!!!!!!!!
