Highly recommended

I had a complex case and Bryan Owens was the best choice I could have made. Bryan is honest and is ready to fight for his clients. He made me feel very confident in his representation. Bryan made me feel very comfortable from the start. He got me the best possible outcome for my case and I will forev...er be grateful for that! I highly recommend attorney Bryan Owens!! You will not be disappointed!

Fearless

I worked with Bryan in a number of cases and have watched him over the years. Totally fearless in court- cross examines police officers with power! He is a born fighter.

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.

It's Important to Chose; Not Settle

Attorney Bryan Owens was number five. I had interviewed four other lawyers before deciding to let him represent me. The first four seemed more interested in telling me how great they were or if I could afford them. Why I chose Bryan, notice I said "chose" not settled, was the way he greeted me and ...treated me. When I entered his office he got out from behind his desk, shook hands and sat next to me. His questions were: what happened, what was I charged with and what was my explanation. A little history is in order, I have a lifelong friend who has gotten himself in trouble more than once. His advice was don't go to an attorney who asks, "Did you do it?" His reasoning is that if the attorney knows you're guilty he might not take the case or if he does he will have to compromise somewhere. Without going into detail, I didn't do what I was accused of but the circumstances were such that it didn't look good. Bryan asked a lot of probing questions at which point he thought he could help. Prior to this my only contact with the law was some speeding tickets. Bryan was easy going but highly professional; he put me at ease as I felt I was talking to a friend. It was only then we discussed fees, we agreed to get together later in the week. As soon as we sat down he laid out his strategy which made a lot of sense to me. When the case went to trail the Prosecutor pulled out all the stops to make her case. Bryan took her argument methodically apart. The trial lasted three days the jury was out less than two hours with a not guilty verdict. The prosecutor was in tears which lead me to the conclusion that the "system" is more interested in convictions than justice. To sum it up would I recommend Bryan Owens - absolutely yes and I hope I'm never in a position to ever need him or any other attorney again.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
