Fights very hard

We hired Mr. Owens for my son's probation revocation. Prosecuyor wanted him to serve 8 years. At the hearing Mr. Owens was well prepared and fought very hard. Judge continued probation with no jail time.

Bryan was very through very nice a godsend for us did an amazing job came in took the lead and ran with it we had a friend in marion county on a murder charge (self defense) and got a NOT GUILTY for us but not only was Bryan just a lawyer in the courtroom he was a friend outside if we reached out to... him for a question we got a quick response I really felt he did everything in his power to prove this case was a self defense

Excellent Attorney

I hired Bryan Owens to fight for me when the government attempted to charge me for an act that I had not committed nor had knowledge of (pre, during, or post). I told him exactly what had occurred that night, and he communicated with me extremely effectively. We spoke about what position I was in, wh...at position the government was attempting to portray me to be in (involvement wise), and how we were strategicly going to position ourselves throughout this difficult period. Bryan was exceptional from the consultation until the dismissal of the charges. Bryan communicated with me to the highest level of expected communication. He was prompt with answering and returning my calls day in day out. Bryan Owens genuinely cares about his clients. He thinks outside the box, fights and works as if it’s his last case for each individual person, and believes that the $$ signs at the end of the day are not more important than retention and recommendation that a client values in a criminal defense lawyer. I would recommend Bryan for absolutely any charge within criminal defense.

Client

I had the pleasure of retaining Attorney Bryan Owens for a legal matter, and he was able to turn a very stressful life situation into a somewhat pleasant one. He answered all of my questions, provided me with reassurance, and always returned my calls. The outcome to my case was better than I expecte...d. I would highly recommend this attorney!

Posted by Ryan | February 11, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

A true fighter in the courtroom!

I was very concerned about my old case. Once I hired Bryan he fought very hard for me. Not only was he very reasonably priced he allowed to make weekly payments for his services. As my case was pending he stayed very busy getting lots of things prepared for me and always kept me updated on my case. I... was facing a felony charge and the best phone call I received was him informing me the charges against me have been dropped.

"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."
