Fantastic!

In December, I hired Bryan to help me with a hit-and-run investigation being conducted by the Metro Nashville Police Department. My nerves were completely frayed because I had never had a brush with the law before (Previously I had only ever worked with a patent attorney). Bryan listened to my side... of the story (which was admittedly unique), and then successfully defended me with no charges being filed, and no court costs being incurred. Most importantly, he spared me from the stress of being interviewed by a metro detective... and he did it all during the holiday season (which could have made a timely resolution to my case difficult). Honestly and easily, hiring Bryan to intervene in my situation was the most important decision I have made in a long time. I would recommend him to anyone.

If you were arrested for DUI, this is your guy!

Bryan Stephenson made this experience as painless as possible for me. I was pulled over after having a few beers over a course of multiple hours and arrested for a DUI, even though I performed completely fine on the sobriety test. After being told I was underarrest, I denied the breathalyzer so I... was also charged with violating Tennessee's Implied Consent Law. The typical punishment for these combined charges would be 48 hours in jail, up to a $500 fine, one year probation, DUI course, and revocation of my license for one year; however, Mr. Stephenson was able to obtain a plea bargain which dropped the Implied Consent violation and reduced the DUI charge to Reckless Driving with a $250 fine, 6 months probation and ignition interlock device, a DUI course, and no jail time. Not only was I able to keep my license, but this was all done during general sessions so I didn't have to take my case to trial - which would have extended the process by about a year and cost me much more in court and lawyer fees. I could not have asked for a better lawyer to take my case. Not only was I pleased with the end result but I was also pleased with how Mr. Stephenson treated me as a client throughout the process. I was always able to contact him when needed (which I took advantage of...a lot) and he always had a very thorough answer to any questions I had. He was also very upfront and realistic with me from the beginning, so as not to get my hopes up while still keeping me informed as to what was a good result and what was a bad one and the chances for my case to go either way. Not to mention that while at the court house I definitely felt like my guy had more knowledge than the other lawyers around me and spent much more time with me explaining the whole process before and after the judgement on my case had been made. I would recommend Bryan Stephenson to anyone looking for exceptional representation in their case.

Bryan Stephenson is an excellent attorney.

When we needed an attorney, we were very fortunate to find Bryan Stephenson. He explained court proceedings so that we could understand it. And if we had questions, he took the time to answer them even if it meant repeating it several times. And never did he seemed rushed to do so. He genuinely s...eemed interested in our case and explained all our options. He was able to get my son's DUI case reduced to reckless driving and keep my son out of jail. I am so glad that we had him on our side. BDD

Professional, realistic and responsive

I contacted Bryan to defend me after a DUI arrest. Upon our first meeting I immediately felt comfortable hiring Bryan. He explained to me his experience with my type of case, and was realistic about what he felt the outcome options could be. We built a case together over the next few weeks, and he... made recommendations as to the types of information would make the best case for me. I always felt connected to Bryan through phone and email during the process, and even discussed the case a few times on the weekend. An important point: even if I left a voicemail, Bryan was never more than 15 minutes from returning my call. This was crucial during a stressful time while facing a DUI conviction. The outcome of the case was better than I expected. The charge was reduced at General Sessions to wreckless driving with shortened probation. I attribute this positive outcome to Bryan and his knowledge of the process. Since Bryan formerly worked as a prosecutor, he understands the process and what the DA is looking for when prosecuting a case. His relationships in the court system also gave me ease, as he knew the individuals, right down to the police officer during my arrest. I could not have asked for a better lawyer in my time of need, and would recommend Bryan to anyone facing criminal charges. Thank you Bryan for your extremely competent and professional work.

Terrific Representation!

Mr. Stephenson is a terrific attorney. He represented me in a case a little over a year ago and helped me go through pre-trial diversion successfully. I have now gotten the charge dismissed with prejudice and expunged. He is very polite and will work hard on your case.
