Bryan Andrew Hawkins

Bryan is an excellent OMVI attorney! He is extremely knowledgeable of the laws surrounding OMVI law! He was able to get my F3 OMVI reduced to a first offense and worked very hard to not miss anything where my case is concerned. I was able to reach him with any questions I had by email, text and phone...! His staff was always communicating with me along the way as well! They provide flat rates which was very nice so you know exactly how much you have to pay! Thanks Bryan for all your hard work and ultimately saving my career!

I hired Bryan as my defense attorney for an OVI case in Fairfield county. Although my defense case was very strong, I lost and was referred by Bryan to another attorney to appeal my case. After a total of 16 months and $8000, I lost again. Here’s my assessment of Bryan Hawkins as my defense attorney.... Pros 1. Bryan is a decent attorney. He is responsive, and seems to be genuinely interested in his clients welfare. Cons 1. Bryan is not very assertive / aggressive in his arguments. I think any defense attorney should be working for a slam dunk / knock out on behalf of his client if he really hopes to win! 2. Bryan has little to no rapport with Fairfield country prosecutors and/or judges… which in essence is what it is all about. He should have stated this to me upfront. 3. After observing how the Judge co-signed the prosecutors case and dismissed all defense motions and arguments, Bryan recommended that I plead no-contest and appeal the case with the assistance of another attorney that he referred me to.(another $4000) The Ohio Court of Appeals literally followed suit/affirmed the lower court decision - almost in a cut and paste fashion - totally ignoring any of the defense arguments made by this new attorney…. Prosecutorial case in both courts were very mediocre and did not address the defense arguments however the Judges still co-signed them unilaterally. I realize a defense attorney cannot guarantee a win…. but they can be honest about their limitations . An honest consultation of when and if you should simply cut your losses, and plead guilty should be provided. In sum, I really feel like I’ve been taken for a very expensive ride financially, mentally and emotionally. 16 months and $8000 later and I’m worse off than I would have been than if I would have just plead guilty upfront and not retained an attorney.
