Brian Michael Starns

Brian helped me reduce a DUI charge to a Reckless Driving charge along with going through most parts of a diversion program. Brian has lots of experience working specifically in Hood River with this type of case. He knows the proper channels to go through and the best way to go about it. I would h...ire him again.

I was cited for DUII, a pretty traumatic experience. Other than a few traffic tickets my 40+ years of driving have been uneventful. Brian explained the likely course of events, dealt with the court and DA, and successfully achieved an outcome of diversion. I kept my driving privileges and avoided a... big insurance issue. It's not inexpensive to have a private attorney for a DUII, but I believe it was money well spent. I needed someone with experience to help me avoid even more costly mistakes I could have made due to lack of knowledge of the specifics of the law and the Hood River court process. I probably couldn't have directed someone to the courthouse before this happened...

Mr. Starns was quick to respond to all of my questions. He was quick to gather information on out case and let us know what to expect. He had already addressed the case with the DAs office for possible resolution before my significant other even arrived. He made himself available even while on his wa...y out of town.

Brian was professional, patient and kind. He listened to our issues and then represented us in court. Although the violation wasn’t as severe as his usual cases, he took us seriously. I feel his representation was the reason we got the resolution we hoped for. I appreciate his time, and would highly ...recommend him.

I was pulled over in Hood River, Oregon for having a tail light out. Subsequently I was cited with a DUI. (realizing immediately my poor decision to drive after being out with friends) I was referred to Brian by a friend and contacted him to inquire about him taking me on as a client. He responded... right away and we set up a meeting. He was very up front about what I was facing and very knowledgeable about the steps that would need to be taken. He allows plenty of time when you have an appointment with him and does not make you feel rushed. And he is up front about his fee which is a relief to not have unexpected legal fees. Brian has been very professional and dependable and, considering the situation, it has been a great experience to work with him.
