Shawn and Bryan never let me down.

On my way home one evening, I was in a hit and run accident that left me with a totaled car and stranded on the side of the highway. An officer showed up and because I had been drinking, pretty much blamed me for the accident, made me do a sobriety test, and then took me to jail for DWI. The officer ...did not believe that I was in a hit and run and instead wrote in his report that I crashed into the highway wall by myself without any real investigation of the crash site or even really looking at my car. I then got to spend the next 2 nights in jail despite not having a record/never being in any trouble with the law and my bail being paid within several hours of my arrest. Being a victim of an accident and in a time where I needed help, I felt very wronged by the situation and how everything was handled. I was scared, nervous, and unsure of where to even begin on what to do. I originally hired another lawyers office(that shall remain unnamed)and they pretty much treated me like I was guilty, said my case wasn't really anything out of the ordinary, and was pretty much being told to accept what happened while they just try to rush me through the punishment process. I had not even gone to court yet nor was my license suspended but I was already being told that I needed to go get a breathalyzer installed within that week(fully aware that my car had just been totaled). After talking to a friend about my situation, he referred me to Shawn and he had me come in the very next morning for consultation. Shawn sat down and actually listened to my situation, was very understanding and offered his services with the intent of fighting for me. Bryan was later assigned to my case, and was able to find numerous issues with the officers conduct along with credibility issues with the their technical supervisor. Despite this, the prosecutor could not let the case go and, due to COVID, the case dragged on for almost 2 years with numerous offers from them that involved basically the same punishments with slightly lesser charges (18 months probation, 6 months breathalyzer, community service, etc). Me being someone who's never had a record and feels like I was wronged in a situation where I really needed help could not just accept this and call it "justice". Bryan agreed and gave me the confidence to stand my ground and take this all the way to trial knowing that he would fight for me with everything he could. The day before we were set to go to trial, the case was dismissed and I'm extremely thankful to everything Shawn and Bryan did to keep me hopeful and giving me the confidence to not give up and fight for what I believed was the right thing to do. Would definitely recommend Shawn Brown's office to anyone needing real help in a tough spot.
