"I was completely satisfied with the way my case was professionally and personally handled. I believe that Mr. Owen was concerned about me as a person and he explained in detail the nature of the Complaint and the possible range of outcomes. He then explained his most recent experiences of a nature similar to mine and then outlined the path that he intended to pursue. In my case, the case was dismissed with a minimal amount due for court costs and a required driving class. Most importantly to me, since I live in Pennsylvania, I did not have to attend the court proceeding. I would highly recommend the Owen Law Firm to anyone and would tell them to be assured that your will receive constant communication with all that is going on with your case and that you should anticipate a favorable outcome."

"James Owen got the job done. I was given what I felt was an unjustified move over violation while driving through TN. I had a perfect driving record but this is a serious allegation that had the potential to add several points and increase my insurance. Mr. Owen got my case completely dismissed for me. Very thankful for his services!"

"Very professional attorney! Walked us through everything that happened in court and got my son’s speeding ticket (56 in a 30) totally dismissed. Mr James was great!"

"Disappointed today 5/24/2024. This lawyer did not even show up in the court room for my case nor communicate with me after I left phone messages twice and text his firm once. Two minutes before the judge walked into the court room, another lawyer walked up to me saying he was covering Owen. If you do not want a heart attack in the court room with a thought that you would be alone to defend yourself, your best bet is to find someone else."
