About Bryan
Biography
I am a Harvard educated criminal defense lawyer with over a decade of experience representing individuals charged with crimes. I am passionate about criminal defense. It is my privilege to represent clients and to force the government to act with strict compliance with the Constitution and the rules of criminal procedure. I will go to any length to protect my clients' rights. I fear no man, and absolutely love fighting it out in a courtroom.
Oftentimes, I discover law enforcement errors in how they handled an arrest or investigation. I discover many of these errors in the area of search and seizure. When properly litigated, Motions to Suppess can lead to cases being dismissed. I have years of experience handing search and seizure issues, and I can use my knowledge to your benefit.
Forcing the prosecution to turn over all of the evidence is another tactic which I maximize for my clients' benefit. I pride myself on knowing my clients' cases inside and out. Cases are won and lost in the details. I can devise unique strategies for defending my clientss cases because I am intimately familiar with all of the facts of the case.
I strive to remain supremely prepared for each stage of my clients' cases. I achieve this by staying in constant contact with my clients, thoroughly familiarizing myself with the facts of each case, researching the law to develope strategies, and by filing motions. If and when the case goes to trial, that is my strength. I love jury trials, and have had many successes in the courtroom, including a not-guilty in a murder trial.
Please call me and we will discuss your case, for free. I can provide insights and share with you my impressions on how best to fight your case. I look forward to your call.

What a Great Lawyer and a great guy!!
This man, had never met me in his life, and took my word as bond, and potentially saved my career and arguably, my life. I am not kidding. I had a crush on a woman who did not reciprocate my feelings. She decided to press charges for harrassment and file to have permanent protective order, when I ...
Bryan Owens's Lawyer Endorsements
"Let me start off by saying that I do not know, I have never met nor do I have any allegiance to Mr. Owens, in fact we do not even practice law in the same State. That said I have now cross-answered several criminal defense related questions with Mr. Owens here on AVVO and his answers so impressed me that I took the time to read his bio, his client reviews and his peer endorsements. Once done I decided to chime in and share my impression with the folks, and that is this: Bryan Owens is wicked smaat and if I had an issue involving cops, courts or constitutions anywhere near the Hub (or even on the Cape) then I'd be in Bryan Owens' office with a fresh cup of Dunks. In all seriousness, I love Beantown (especially Regina's 'za and Mike's Pastries) and I feel safer there knowing that Mr. Owens has my 6. Earnestly submitted by, MAH/Esq."
"I have worked with Bryan and found him to have excellent legal analysis skills, as well as being very personable. Mr. Owens is the type of person who can speak to anyone, making them feel at ease."
"Bryan fights hard for his clients no matter what the government alleges. Bryan’s knowledge and tenacity are valuable in every case."
"I endorse this lawyer. Bryan is hard-working, caring, and passionate about criminal defense and helping his clients. I also consider him to be honest, reliable and trustworthy."
"Bryan is an excellent attorney for criminal defense, especially violent crimes including: assaults, robberies, and murder. You need someone as competent as him to help you through those issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. Bryan has excellent legal skills and is a hard-working and effective attorney. I also find him to be an honest and trustworthy colleague."
"I endorse this lawyer."
