Ryan’s legal expertise and work has been featured in:












We help people get justice.
“Ryan has been an amazing and professional lawyer. He helped in a case I had with huge endeavor and dedication and it got solved successfully. I HIGHLY recommend Ryan Locke”
We help injured people get their lives—and their futures—back.
Ryan Locke represents people who were injured because defendants ignored the rules, broke laws, acted negligently, and put making money over protecting people. Our clients need legal help because they have been injured in car or truck wrecks, at businesses that failed to keep their premises safe, and because of crime. Ryan represents people across the Atlanta metro area and throughout Georgia.
What separates Ryan from other personal injury lawyers is his dedication to communicating with his clients and his commitment to out-work and out-think the other side. Ryan tackles every legal issue or legal topic in a case head on. This results in better settlements and verdicts because we understand the full extent of our clients’ injuries and how their lives have been affected. Ryan hustles to explore every avenue of recovery—and this results in better settlements and verdicts.
Almost all of our injured clients are referred to us by other lawyers or our past clients. We’re proud of this fact because it’s a reflection of our hard work and strong relationships with our clients.
When Ryan speaks, people listen.
“The people who need you are underdogs. People who aren’t being treated fairly. People who need help from someone that truly cares and really understands rights and issues.”
I don't need to raise my voice to be heard.
I have the credibility with adversaries and judges needed to get things done.
I regularly appear in courts throughout the state and in front of the Supreme Court of Georgia. I am a part-time magistrate judge in Fulton County. I am also an adjunct professor at Emory University School of Law and maintain comprehensive legal resources and legal forms on this website for other lawyers. I regularly speak on legal topics to other top lawyers.
I have a law degree from the University of Georgia, where I was one of ten students from my law school class inducted into the Order of the Barristers and was a pupil in the Joseph Henry Lumpkin Inn of Court.
I have superb reviews. I am rated 10/10 by Avvo, rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell, and have been selected as a Rising Star in Georgia SuperLawyers and a Legal Elite in Georgia Trend magazine. My professional accomplishments speak for themselves.
I devote substantial time to pro bono work, including representing prisoners under federal sentence seek reductions in their sentences with Clemency Project 2014, fighting charges filed against peaceful protesters in the Occupy Atlanta and other social justice movements, and litigating on behalf of indigent plaintiffs with the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation (where I won the largest verdict ever obtained by the organization).
"This Law Firm is the best! Attorney Ryan Locke and his team provided excellent service with my case and they made sure I was treated by the best health care providers for my personal injuries. They were responsive to any questions I had about my case and was very professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

"The best I’ve seen so far I would most definitely recommend to anyone who has been injured"

"Locke Law Firm was highly recommended to me to contest a minor traffic violation. Despite the relatively trivial nature of the case, and even though he couldn’t represent me; he took the time to walk me through the process and explain what my options were. In addition, he even took the time to refer me to someone that could help. He went out of his way not only to give me the information I needed but he also made sure I was taken care of. That’s the kind of dedication one would want from an attorney. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!"

Jean Fortune
"Ryan was amazing to work with, always communicative, and handled my case better than I expected. Thank you so much Ryan!"

Veronica Myers
"I truly cannot thank Attorney Locke enough. I needed help with a charge that I received while working in Atlanta and I had no idea where to start when it came to handling the issue since I live in Ohio and was getting nowhere searching my issue on Google, calling various courts, and trying to handle the problem on my own. Not only did Ryan provide sound advice and a number of options - for free! - even before actually helping me, but the amount of stress he relieved was worth its weight in gold. Attorney Locke got my charge completely dismissed and I am so grateful. If you're looking for someone who knows what he is doing, will talk to you like a human in a way that you'll understand, and who has the relationships needed to help your case, call the Locke Law Firm. You won't be sorry."

Anneke Kurt Godlewski

"We found Locke law firm because we were researching a name change for a minor, and found a wealth of resources on their website. We had already been curtly dismissed by two other law firms as not worth their time, so we weren't hopeful, but we reached out to Locke Law firm to see if they handled cases like this. Ryan Locke arranged a phone call with us, walked us through all the details and forms we needed, and also emailed us additional resources. He went far beyond anything we expected! My impression is that Mr. Locke is determined to get the best information and resources for his clients, so that we can get the best outcome.

"I worked with Ryan on a name and gender marker change. I had been very apprehensive about the process of getting the paperwork in order as well as navigating a court appearance on my own. Ryan immediately put me at ease, explaining the process to me and helping me easily make my way through each step. He handled things from top to bottom and when it came to the court appearance, because everything was so organized from the beginning, I didn’t hit any snags at any point in the process. Given that we were working through a pandemic, this was particularly impressive. Ryan is great to work with - knowledgeable, kind, courteous, and responsive- and I would happily recommend his legal services. Should the need arise, I would work with him again in a heartbeat."
Kal Helbling
"I prayed and asked God to direct us to an attorney that could somehow help us get our loved one out of the situation he was in. We were directed to Mr. Locke. We retained him in 2019 and shortly after COVID hit, he still maintained contact with us and our loved one. He sent every doc he received and did a lot of follow ups. (We are used to chasing the atty, but there was no need to call him) hell called and emailed us. Now 2022-23 we are at the phase of Appeal- habeas corpus and just reading his briefs, Mr. Locke makes us feel as if we are going to win, he make us feel as if our son is coming home. He answers all questions and doesn't get impatient. I'll let y'all know the outcome. I'd recommend him to any family or friend."

This is an excellent Progressive victory The United Nurses Association and National Organization of Social Security Representatives ("NOSSCR") would VERY much appreciate this excellent legal summary of this new great law, hopefully a Republican President is not elected for some time and his or her HHS Director changes the Regulation to favor the neferious Epic Software Companies, corrupt corner cutting hospitals, and an apathetic almost powerless American Medical Association.
