James Richie Owen

I hired James to fight for me against my accused drag racing charges. I talked to many attorneys, most seemed unsure or skeptical because of where I received the ticket and how tough their court/judge in that city can be, and while Mr. Owen obviously couldn’t make any promises, he was confident enoug...h in his abilities to make me decide to go with him over the others. It was mandatory that I not get any type of moving violation because my job requires me to drive. Court session was quick and easy as he took care of everything and managed to get all of my charges dropped and expunged off my record. Very happy with the outcome, I would definitely recommend him to others, the money you spend is worth it to have a clean record!!

My daughter was charged with a DUI and vehicular homicide... He began working on the case immediately and stayed in contact with her and us keeping us up to date until its resolution. He truly cares about his clients and definitely doesn't treat you like a number!! Thanks for your hard work James!! ...

We hired James Owen for a DUI that I got over the summer. After contacting various attorneys, he was the one that seemed to be the most caring. I went in for a consult and knew, immediately, that he was the one. I was beating myself up and he was constantly reassuring me that he would do everything h...e could to help. I feel like this is something that all attorneys might say but he continually validated that statement. I went to my first court hearing and the prosecutor was adamant about charging me with a first offense DUI. James suggested that we reschedule since I had been making some changes in my own life (going to rehab, volunteering, being in school, etc). The following court date happened about four months later. We had expected the prosecutor to give us the same offer with the hope of extending the court date once again. However, with the work I had done and James's drive and care, we were able to get the charge reduced to reckless driving. When we were able to take the sigh of relief that it was reduced, James told us that I might have the opportunity to get the entire thing dropped after six months of probation. We continued on with the process to make this happen right there in the courthouse. It did, in fact, go through and in six months the charges will be completely dropped and I will have the opportunity to have the whole thing expunged from my record. During the entire process, James was extremely receptive...we talked via email and phone call whenever necessary. My dad was very involved with the process and when I would talk to James, my dad would call him with additional questions and James was completely open to all of this communication (despite it potentially being a thorn in his side). I would recommend him to anyone in the area. I had several people praying for a desirable outcome and James's efforts to pay off. And it definitely happened. We're still baffled by the outcome. I know a lot of reviews can come off as "fluffed up" but I would be writing a very similar review, regardless of the outcome of my situation. The one thing I can say is that I can promise you that he'll make you feel more like a close friend who's got your back than a client. And he'll bend over backwards to do what he can to help you. I can't be more grateful that our paths crossed.

I lived in Michigan and had a misdemeanor charge of assault........well the state of Tennessee didn't look at it as the same charge and raised it to something much worse when I moved down here ......make a long story short Mr Owen was able to read the law from another state and get it exspounged........this was not easy at all cause the prosecutor was not backing down .......no breaks period ......mr Owen was unfazed.........with all the facts we had our day in court .......judgr ruled in my favor and my criminal record is totally clean .....now am I saying whatever your legal trouble is will get fixed ....no guarantees.......but I can promise you he's knows his job ......he knows the law .....and he will fight for you every step of the way
