Bryan Hoss is a terrific lawyer. He is knowledgeable, conscientious and personable. When I was with the US Attorney's Office, I found him to be a dedicated opponent, willing to fight for his clients. Since I entered private practice, I have seen him in state court and he is equally as knowledgeable and effective. I heartily recommend him.

I've know Bryan for fifteen years. I've served as opposing counsel in numerous cases and I've tried a criminal jury matter against him. In all instances, he has advocated vigorously for his clients and their interests while addressing the Court with the utmost respect. He has exceptional knowledge and experience in the criminal court system, allowing him to address his client's needs with equal ease and alacrity in either General Sessions Court or Criminal Court.
