OMVI / Physical Control
Bryan was extremely diligent in keeping me up-to-date on everything happening with my court case. He knew what to expect from both the assigned Judge and prosecutor on my case.

Extremely Professional, Knowledgeable, Respected
I made a big mistake. Bryan couldn't fix that, but he was able to make the charges that carried the stiffest penalty go away. I'm grateful. If you face an OVI charge, I highly recommend Bryan.

Exceptional lawyer, HIGHLY recommend
I was faced with a 2nd OVI charge with a breathalyzer refusal. Because i refused I was looking at 20 days in jail, yellow license plates, and an interlock device.

"Having worked with Bryan for years, I never hesitate to refer potential clients to him for all levels of criminal matters."
"Bryan brings strong legal knowledge and compassion to every case he handles--and he has the guts to take a case to trial when it's in his client's best interests. He is respected throughout the community, and his reputation is beyond reproach. I trust him, and you can too."
"I highly endorse Bryan Hawkins as your attorney. When I started practicing criminal law, I worked with Mr. Hawkins on several matters. Not only did he teach me how to be practical in my approach to OVI related traffic offenses, he taught me an enormous amount about the law itself. Bryan is dedicated, thorough, reasonable, and tenacious. I have watched Mr. Hawkins aggressively litigate cases through jury trial and have personally seen him go above and beyond for his clients. Hire Bryan Hawkins. You will not be sorry."
"When I was hiring an attorney for my firm, I asked several judges for recommendations. One person who was highly recommended multiple times was Bryan Hawkins. I was familiar with his outstanding work in the Franklin County Municipal Court. He is intelligent, creative and hard-working. He does a great job for his clients and is a valuable asset to the Dominy Law Firm."
"I have worked with Bryan for many years. He really understands the practice of OVI law and works hard to get his clients the best results possible. I highly endorse this lawyer."
