Thank you for putting my mind at ease

A few days after my arrest, I was BOMBARDED with mail from attorneys who wanted to represent me. I called a few, but none of them felt "right". I especially disliked the ones who made promises I knew they couldn't keep. Although I wasn't sure what I was in for, I knew I wasn't going to walk away with... a slap on the wrist. I turned to Google to help me find a website that had reviews on attorneys (I'm an avid amazon.com shopper. Seeing reviews almost gives you that "try it before you buy it" feeling.) I stumbled upon this website. I found comfort in reading reviews written by people just like me - people who were terrified and didn't know which way to turn. I was told many times that getting a lawyer was a waste of time and money, but I disagree. I live near Chicago and have never been in trouble before. Bryan walked me through every detail of this process. I knew exactly what to expect. He answered EVERY question (very promptly, too). When I was confused or frustrated, he was there to ease my stress along the way. Although I knew I had consequences to face, I felt confident in doing so because having him made me feel less alone. I didn't want to have to travel back and forth to take care of this nightmare. Fortunately, I only had to make one trip throughout this whole process. My charge was lowered from a DUI to reckless driving and my community service time was lowered from 36 hours to 16. I was also ordered to comlete mandatory jail time (48 hours total), but thanks to Bryan, I only served half of that time. That 24 hours of NOT having to spend in jail felt like so much more than just 24 hours. I knew from the first phone call that I made the right decision in choosing Bryan to represent me. There are lawyers who cost more; some who cost less, but I doubt there are many out there who can provide you with as much detailed information and confidence as Bryan will. I highly recommmend Bryan Stephenson!

Very professional, highly recommend.

Bryan represented me back in January and I could not have been more pleased with everything. My entire experience with him was great. He was very respectful, always easy to get a hold of, he communicated with me what was going on with my case and on top of that he got me a much better deal than expec...ted. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel.

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
