Having never been in trouble I had no clue what to expect, the legal process, or what my options were. I researched lawyers on-line and came across Bryan. I decided to meet with Bryan because of the excellent reviews and the fact that he had been an Assistant DA in Nashville prior to becoming a Cri...minal Defense Attorney. I hired Bryan at our initial meeting because he was extremely knowledgeable, professional, empathetic, straightforward on potential outcomes and a genuinely nice person. Throughout the entire process Bryan ALWAYS kept me up to date, responded to my inquiries quickly and was there if I needed to discuss anything. You can imagine my reaction when he called me a few days before my court date to let me know the charges had been dismissed and my charges would be expunged. I'm very thankful for having found Bryan and highly recommend him for anyone seeking legal representation.

I could not have asked for a better attorney. I felt like I was the only person that had ever gotten a DUI. He assured me that I was not the only one and I would get through this difficult time. I have never been so scared in my life. Bryan was very calming but urgent. He explained in detail what co...uld possibly happen in my case. I trusted him from my first meeting. He was very thorough and kept me informed. He is a fantastic attorney and I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Bryan

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!

Bryan helped with an intricate situation with my son being in prison in MO and violating probation in TN. He helped orchestrate the *first* interstate teleconference sentencing hearing in Davidson Co. He is thorough with great attention to detail and makes sure that his client understands everything... that is happening. He communicates effectively and responds promptly to client queries. I am happy that he was our lawyer working on my son's situation.

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.
