The best experience!

I'm beyond grateful to have been represented by Bryan for my DWI case. Throughout the process, he was communicative, reassuring, professional, knowledgeable and transparent. Getting my case dismissed was the best possible outcome, and I couldn't be more grateful for his help! Would definitely recomme...nd working with Bryan.

Dismissed!!!!

Bryan was amazing! From initial consultation to dismissal, every question was answered clearly and in a timely manner. Bryan's thorough knowledge of proper DUI procedures is the key to how he gets so many cases dissmissed. additionally, he has an amazing rapport with those in the DUI court. Definitel...y the attorney you want to defend you!

Dwi and Dui

We met Bryan Orihel back in early part January 2020. We had hired The Law office of Shawn Brown to help us with Dwi and Dui against my son. At the time my son had just turned 18 years old and was doing things he should not be doing. Mr. Shawn Brown and Bryan Orihel with their professionalism a...nd intellectual skills handle my son cases. I can not express how satisfied we were with Bryan Orihel professionalism ,intellectual and communication skills on my sons cases. And with the help of his assistant Pie Alvarez they always kept us informed about my sons up coming cases, with a followup phone call or an email correspondence. It was a nightmare going thru this. But taking one day at a time, patiently, with the help of Bryan Orihel and his professional and knowledge and respectfully petting everything into perspective. I knew time was on our side and this was right team. Bryan Orihel also went over the possibilities and outcome; didnt sugar-coat anything of what could happen to my son if he didn't get the necessary help he needed to over come this bad nightmare. Bryan Orihel gave us positive information on recovery solutions for my son. Such as going to Recovery classes for Alcohol and substance abuse. As a parent this was all new to me and my faith brought to them. Because as parents we need to stand with our sons and daughters so they can have brighter future. So I prayed that God would put the right people in my path and he did. It's been 5 years since we hired Shawn Brown and due to covid it gave, Bryan Orihel opportunities to work on my sons cases tentatively and my son time to recover from his abuse. So, I am happy to say we had our day in court . October 24,2024 and with help of Shawn Brown at Law firm and Bryan Orihel working tentatively on my sons cases and my son following thru all recommendations and doing all the classes. All my sons cases were dismissed without probation. That was the outcome I prayed for and the outcome Mr.Shawn Brown and Mr.Bryan Orihel saw for my sons future if he stayed focus. Never give up on your sons and daughters. Life is already hard as it is. I would would recommend The Law office of Shawn Brown and Bryan Orihel every time. They kept us well informed, their professionalism and intellectual on my sons cases was exceptional. They were very considerate and respectful to our situation. If you are looking for solutions and results and a victory, I would hire Shawn Brown at Law everytime. P.S. Action Recovery in Houston Texas made a big difference in my son's recovery. If you have a son or daughter going thru this call them.

The greatest lawyer ever

Bryan has been a blessing getting me through my case, he was always very calm, and collected, as well reassuring me through the whole process of everything. I appreciate all the hard work and determination getting my case dismissed. Thank you again for everything and getting me back on the road!

Bryan was phenomenal!

Bryan was an amazing attorney, got my case dismissed and capitalized on the errors from the prosecutors. I can say confidently that I was more than happy with the confidence Bryan had in my case and his abilities to get this achievement and is more than certified and knowledgeable in cases such as th...ese. Would recommend to anyone facing a similar issue with DWI/DUI.
