An amazing partner though a fearful time

Finding yourself on the wrong side of the law is scary. If it's not, it should be. I recently found myself in a DUI situation that I was not prepared for. Having never had to deal with law officers on any sort of serious matters, a DUI is an anxiety inducing, life altering nightmare. I couldn't figur...e out what to do. I couldn't see how I didn't just ruin my life plans. With having no experience in these sorts of matters, i needed help. Someone who knew what to expect. Although my wife was lovingly keeping my head on straight, I knew she needed help too. We were going through this together and all my punishment would be hers too. That's where Mr. Stephenson comes in. After reading reviews of local attorneys for hours one day, I narrowed my search to a few. I met with those attorneys to get a gut feeling on if we could communicate well (which is very important I soon learned). I met with Mr. Stephenson and it went well. His free consultation time was longer than the others, and we actually went over the allotted time to be able to talk everything through. He assured me that his clients were his main priority. Seems like that should be a given, but it wasn't displayed from the others. His staff was courteous, friendly and upfront on how much they believed in Mr. Stephenson's abilities. "His work speaks for itself", they said. Fast forward to the court date. I was nervous. I had only seen court on TV. I feared the worst. While Mr. Stephenson spelled out the likely outcome for a case like mine in advance, I still thought it could get worse somehow. To my surprise he made a best case scenario happen. He talked with the DA immediately. Got my jail time reduced to almost a quarter of the time, no community service, and an ability to serve my time at an education center where I can do all my schooling while i'm there! All within about 30 mins or so. Best case scenario! I couldn't have asked for a better partner through this fearful time. Mr. Stephenson shoots you straight. He proves himself with his work. He is a professional.

DUI Reduced to Reckless Driving with Expungement of Record

Bryan provided excellent representation in my DUI charged offense. I spoke with Bryan the very next day after the arrest. Bryan made me feel at ease and was very responsive to all my questions. I was impressed with is diligence and work ethic. Bryan helped me achieve one of the best outcomes ...that I had anticipated. The DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving with the option of expungement at the end of probation. I was very pleased with Bryan's services.

This is your man.

I have retained Bryan a couple of times in the past, and I will not be using another lawyer. Bryan is extremely open and forthcoming about the details in your case. He is always on top of things, and gives very sound counsel. I trust Bryan's judgment.

Dwi and imied consent

Great lawyer, worth every last penny! Kept me informed, expunged previous charges and ones that got dismissed in court. Kept the da from not bumping me to a dui and got it reduced to reckless. The judge didn't want to agree with him or the da but he presented his case and the statutes which allowed m...e to keep my license, not go to jail, and in 5 years I'll have a clean record again! Thanks Bryan

Outstanding Representation

I recently hired Attorney Stephenson with less than 1 weeks notice for a Class C Misdemeanor "Failure to Report Immediately" citation. In the search for counsel, I spoke with at least 3 other lawyers, who's prices not only varied considerably, but so did their knowledge and willingness to communicat...e the law to me in an easy to understand manner. After speaking with Bryan initially, I decided right away that he would definitely be the best representation for my case due to his experience with similar cases, and his past experience as an Assistant District Attorney. My general impression of Attorney Stephenson was that of considerable character, of great business and legal ethics, and as a man who took great interest in my well being. As my court date approached, I corresponded multiple times with Bryan, where he kept me abreast to what he needed from me as well as provided me with everything I needed to be prepared for, while always keeping me at a peace of mind on the case. On the day of my booking/court date, I finally had the opportunity to meet him in person. All of my initial impressions held true, as Bryan showed up punctually as he said he would, gave me a brief on what was about to transpire, and asked if I had any questions. Several minutes afterwards, Bryan emerged from the court room and informed me that my case had been dismissed on the grounds that I pay for court costs. I was astonished at how quickly and efficiently he took care of the situation, and was obviously very ecstatic about the outcome. I feel very strongly that I would have done myself a great disservice by hiring anyone else in Nashville to represent me in this case. Bryan not only has gained my respect as superior Criminal Attorney, but also has gained my respect as a man of his word, and one of fine character. Many thanks Bryan, and I will definitely be encouraging anyone with a legal issue in Nashville to be contacting you to discuss their rights and options.
