About Brian
Biography
Partner at McCown, Fisher & Cremeans with locations in Ironton, Ohio and our new location in Chesapeake, Ohio, where I primarily practice in the areas of misdemeanor and felony criminal defense, misdemeanor and felony OVI/DUI defense, divorce, custody, paternity, adoption, and other general civil litigation in the Lawrence County, Scioto County, Gallia County, Jackson County, Pike County, and Surrounding Counties. I work hard to make sure my clients understand the process and what to expect throughout the representation. I am a field sobriety practitioner, which means I have had the same NHTSA field sobriety training as law enforcement officers. In October of 2023, I became an ARIDE practitioner by taking the same Advanced Roadside Impairment Detection and Enforcement training as law enforcement. I am also a NHTSA certified Field Sobriety Instructor with the ability to train law enforcement, lawyers, and judges. Visit our website or call for a consultation.

Deserves a 10 star rating!!!
Mr. Cremeans is an all star defense attorney. He is honest from day one. He will give you honest advice and listens to his clients. I was shocked on how much he genuinely cares about his clients. You will not go wrong by hiring him. In fact you will be lucky to have him represent you.

Lifesaver
He saved my little sister from imprisonment and a felony on her record. He worked tirelessly on her defense and treated our entire family like family. We will always be grateful for his expertise, intelligence, and his kind soul.
