Do not hire

Do not hire him. I had a bit of a complicated DUI case and I was extremely upfront with him about it. He was very enthusiastic at first and said he would handle getting my DUI classes and Volunteering transferred to another state when I had to suddenly move, and get my driver's license unsuspended ...in CA based on my completing everything the court ordered. The second he got the payment that HE CAME UP WITH he was totally unresponsive. I had to get in touch with the court and they told me he had not provided them with what they needed, and when I told him that he was so rude and asked for more money. I had to hire another attorney and basically start all over. Save your money and hire someone else.

Replied last June 6, 2019

Ms. Moran, I am sorry to see that you are still upset after our disagreement two years ago. Having reviewed our representation agreement and your case file, my office was hired to do four things: recall a warrant that was issued a month before you hired me, get authorization to do a DUI class out of state, convert your public work service to volunteer work, and re-set fine payments that had defaulted. Those are the only things mentioned in our contract. We did all four of those things within weeks of being hired. You contacted my office to provide additional services and I gave you a price to handle those additional services. You opted not to hire my office for those services. I hope all is well and that you never need a criminal attorney in the future.

DUI stress reliever

Getting a DUI causes a lot of initial stress and a lot of unforeseen costs. After calling dozens of attorneys I felt Mr Owens was suited me best for what i needed. He was able to come up with a payment plan to help relieve some of the initial stress, i didnt have to go to a single court date, file ...any paper work, he did it all. I cant imagine how stress-full the situation would have been without him, he made it easy as hell. I hope i dont need an attorney again, but if i do it should be pretty obvious who i will be calling. Thanks Mr Owens.

Case closed!

I couldn't be happier with my choice to hire Troy. He was available & personable, yet very professional. He was able to get my criminal charges reduced to a single misdemeanor with minimal fines and zero jail time.

property

I hired Troy to review and advise me on issues regarding a property I needed to sell. His advice resulted in a successful resolution to the problems. He was dependable and kept me informed on every step.

So happy with my choice!

As my attorney, Mr. Owens was extremely professional. I consulted with a couple of different attorneys before hiring him, but Mr. Owens came highly recommended by professional and personal acquaintances. It's easy to believe that in his line of work, the ability to reach him as often as the random qu...estion or concern would pop up for me would be difficult. The exact opposite was the case. He was timely and precise in his responses, and able to keep my mind at ease through the process of my civil case. With his help, I was able to reach a fair outcome in mediation and avoid trial. Because of his professionalism, I would be comfortable recommending his legal expertise across the board as I know he specializes in more than civil law. I'm beyond happy with my choice to hire Mr. Owens and would gladly seek his help again in the future with any legal matters.
