Charges dismissed!

I was charged with a felony and after hiring Bryan he really took the stress away that I was dealing with. He allowed me to make payments and was very professional. My charge was dismissed after he found many infractions performed by the police . I reccomend Bryan to anyone facing criminal charges.

Bryan Owens

Thankfully I have never needed a defense attorney but if I ever do, I will not hesitate to call Mr. Owens. I have known Bryan for over two years and have found him to be a man of his word, very respectful and hardworking. I would confidently recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of a...ny sort of criminal defense.

Look No Further

As noted below I have used Attorney Owens in the past and I recognize he specializes in criminal matters, but my association with him was regarding a business partnership and a real estate transaction. Because I was leaving town soon I had to meet him at the courthouse where he was representing a cr...iminal client. While waiting I sat in the courtroom as I had never seen a real life criminal trial only the ones on TV. I came away from that experience with two thoughts, I hope I never have to face a criminal trial, but if I did he would be the one I would want advocating for me. I found out afterwards that his client was found innocent. I am a business owner and real estate investor who relies on attorneys to protect my interests and represent me when there are unforeseen complications. There are two main considerations when I evaluate an attorney. The first and most obvious one is competence. On that score Bryan Owens exceeded my expectations on both matters I referred to him. The second measure that I gauge an attorney on is by is communication and accessibility. Bryan has kept me abreast of developments often before I contacted him. I have used attorneys in four different states and the norm seems to be that I end up having to leave multiple phone, text and emails before I get a response. That is frustrating and time-consuming; Bryan is a breath of fresh air with his penchant for keeping a client up to date and in the know. A bonus is that he is very easy to talk to and is quick to grasp what is at issue. I have absolutely no qualms about recommending him to anyone seeking first-rate legal advice and representation.

DUI

I hired Mr. Owen when I got a DUI. My DUI was at a license check. Mr Owens challenged the check point and said it was illegal. When we went to court it was dropped bc he did his research. I just knew I was gonna lose my job if he didnt when my case. I'm very happy I chose him!

"Let me start off by saying that I do not know, I have never met nor do I have any allegiance to Mr. Owens, in fact we do not even practice law in the same State. That said I have now cross-answered several criminal defense related questions with Mr. Owens here on AVVO and his answers so impressed me that I took the time to read his bio, his client reviews and his peer endorsements. Once done I decided to chime in and share my impression with the folks, and that is this: Bryan Owens is wicked smaat and if I had an issue involving cops, courts or constitutions anywhere near the Hub (or even on the Cape) then I'd be in Bryan Owens' office with a fresh cup of Dunks. In all seriousness, I love Beantown (especially Regina's 'za and Mike's Pastries) and I feel safer there knowing that Mr. Owens has my 6. Earnestly submitted by, MAH/Esq."
