worked with Brian for many years and he was always prepared and ready to go to court if he hadn't already resolved the issues way before hand. Excellent trial and appellate lawyer.

Very Thorough

Brian has helped me on several occasions throughout the past 5 years. His vast knowledge of both criminal and civil law is the reason I chose to first hire him. I have used Brian's services on several business deals, as well as a DUI. On each occasion Brian went above and beyond what I thought was capable.

Best Lawyer Ever

Mr. Lockwood is without a doubt the best lawyer in the mobile area! I was wrongfully charged with assault first and assault 2nd and it was a very rough process. Mr. Lockwood kept me updated and handled this entire thing VERY WELL! We ended up getting a NOT GUILTY verdict by all 12 jurors! This man has truthfully saved my life! Calling him was the best decision I could have made!

Fast and professional representation

Brian, IMO is an outstanding lawyer. Picking a lawyer your first time is like playing roulette. I happened to win when I found him. I used him for a possession charge, while the case didn't get dropped our dismissed because it was virtually impossible he to have me in a program to have them dismissed within two weeks. He personally delivered my paperwork and did what it normally takes 6 months to do. I'm so pleased that I'm now using him for the expungement process.

Excellence in professionalism

Made the legal process very, very easy. Results of my case were better than I could have expected. Mr. Lockwood was very affordable and easy to communicate with and reach. I'm an out of state resident and he was able to represent me on my behalf. I couldn't be happier with his performance.

Recommended!

Mr Lockwood took the time to listen to the circumstances in my case, and clearly explained how he would handle it. He made himself available for questions, and was compassionate and patient. He worked hard to get the best possible outcome. I can only recommend him if you are in need of legal help.

Excellent Lawyer

Brian is currently working on a case with me. He is extremely helpful and always very quick to respond to calls and emails. He is on top of the case and spent hours with me explaining the options and how to deal with the current problem. I would highly recommend him. I hope the case gets resolved in a positive manner, but with Brian representing me I feel hopeful that he will be able to get positive results.

Outstanding Experience

My daughter had an unfortunate experience while on Spring Break in Gulf Shores, so had to select an attorney from over 2,000 miles away and couldn't be more happy with our decision in selecting Brian. He was extremely helpful in explaining all aspects of the case, clearly and concisely laying out all options and providing professional guidance on those best to take. His response times to any and all questions, via e-mail or voice mail were extremely quick, even when it was regarding something that obviously wasn't urgent. As more proof of Brian's commitment to his clients, although we were more than happy with Brian's initial deal with the prosecutor, he continued to work the case the day of our court appearance and eventually got both charges dropped. We were happy with the initial deal and had already paid Brian in full, so he had absolutely no other motivation to further push for a better outcome, other than trying to do the absolute best for his clients. That is not something you expect these days, especially from someone whose practice is over 2,000 miles away and has nothing to gain, since I hopefully will not need his services in the future or be able to provide referrals. All that said, I could not give him a higher recommendation.

Excellent

Brian helped me out a lot. He knew what he was doing and how do get things done and fixed for me. I'm glad I used him to represent me because he cared enough to help me in the situation I was in and did his best to help me anyway he could. I'm very thankful for his help and hope other people give him the opportunity to show how wonderful he is. Because of him I can now look forward with my life again, and not worry or stress about anything anymore.

Trustworthy, professional and gave great advice without discussing any money!

I was in need of a Lawyer, I looked in the yellow pages and contacted Mr. Lockwood I explained to him what was going on over the phone, he met with me the next day, sat with me for over 2 hours while i explained more in detail was going on than he offered me advice and printed me out some material all without ask or discussing any money.

I would recommend Mr. Lockwood to everyone I know because I know he would do the same for my family and freinds, Now thats a GREAT LAWYER! I
