Traffic citation defense is a central part of the practice. Because traffic citations are misdemeanor criminal charges in Georgia, the firm works to protect clients' driving history and insurance rates. For DUI cases, the firm advises clients that they have 30 days from the date of arrest to protect their driver's license, and it reviews the legal defenses that may help keep a DUI conviction off a record. Drug defense work covers Georgia's changing drug laws, including the fact that marijuana remains illegal in the state, and focuses on protecting Fourth Amendment rights against search and seizure.

Ryan Walsh attended Boston University, graduating in 2003, then moved to Atlanta to attend the Emory University School of Law. His approach is to work every case as if it were going to trial, regardless of how the client ultimately chooses to resolve it. That means collecting and analyzing all the evidence, researching every legal issue, exploring all legal defenses, and teaching clients about their case so they can make informed decisions throughout the process. He describes the attorney-client relationship as compassionate, hardworking, and communicative, and he guarantees active and direct communication along with his personal presence at every step of a case. Consultations are free and confidential.

Ryan Walsh Legal is known for a strong local reputation reflected in consistently high customer ratings, and for an established track record built on a large base of customer reviews.
