Attorney Ryan Cleveland announced Friday that he will be a candidate for Judge of Superior Court of the South Georgia Circuit. The South Georgia Circuit is comprised of Baker, Calhoun, Decatur, Grady and Mitchell Counties.

“We deserve to continue to have a judge that we can trust to treat everyone fairly,” said Cleveland. “Residents of our circuit need to be assured that everyone will be treated fairly and equally under the law, and not have the law being decided based on political connections or favors.”

“A judge should be held to the highest standards – both personal and professional. I have proudly served my community, my family and my clients with dignity and dedication. I will bring this same commitment to the bench.”

Ryan Cleveland is an experienced attorney in Georgia. He is the owner The Cleveland Law Firm, P.C., and has handled hundreds of cases in Federal, State and Superior Court in various Circuits and counties. Ryan said he is experienced in many areas of the law, having served as both a prosecutor and as an attorney in private practice.

He is the current Decatur County Solicitor General and Bainbridge City Solicitor.

“I believe in our Constitutional principles,” said Cleveland. “In a day and age where our Second Amendment Rights are being threatened, we need judges who will stand up for our Second Amendment right to protect ourselves.”

Ryan is a graduate of Mercer Law School where he served as the President of the Federalist Society. He and his wife, Janell, have been married for 16 years and have three children.
