Hardworking, compassionate and knowledgeable

Mr. Cremeans is an excellent attorney. He got us into his office very quickly when I called him with our problem. He took the time to listen to all of our questions and concerns; then laid out exactly what we needed to do. Throughout the entire process, he kept us informed of complicated legal pro...cedures, updates in the case, etc... His knowledge of case law that was helpful to our case was impressive. His strategy for building our case was creative and very successful. I would absolutely recommend him as a defense attorney.

Recommendation for Brian Cremeans

Brian Cremeans is an excellent lawyer. He is professional, compassionate, and took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the legal process, ensuring we had a complete understanding of our rights, charges, and the what the possible outcomes of our proceedings could be. He kept in touch with us... to keep us updated as to what was occurring on a regular basis. I highly recommend him because he is a kind, ethical and knowledgable young man.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
