Having never had to deal with any criminal…read moreproceedings personally, I was extremely anxious and overwhelmed by the process after receiving my 1st DUI. I was actually referred to Bryan by a family friend who is a Prosecuting Attorney. After my first phone conversation with Bryan, I felt instant relief that someone was fully engaged in my case on my behalf. Throughout the months leading up to my Court Date, Bryan stayed in consistent communication with me. He walked me through all the possible scenarios and outcomes to expect. He meticulously labored over every detail and event of that night and kept me informed of what he was finding and the defense strategy that he built along the way. He patiently and thoroughly answered the onslaught of questions I had along the way. His unrelenting and exceptional Professional Approach was even successful in rescheduling my Court Date on two separate occasions to accommodate significant events in my personal and professional life. On the Day of my hearing, Bryan's reputation was clearly on display. At the Davidson County Court, he seemed to be on a 1st name bases with literally everyone we came into contact with from the Judge and DA, to the Probation Officers, even down to the Payment Clerks. The results that Bryan achieved in my case were above and beyond my expectations and truly made a significant impact on my life and allowing me to move past this mistake and prove to the court this was an isolated incident. He even provided guidance on how to get this expunged from my record, insight to which of the required classes were better than others, but even contacted a DUI attorney from my home state (Not TN) to provide additional details on what impact to my license to anticipate. Unbelievable! I could not give a higher recommendation to ANYONE needing legal advice or representation than to contact Bryan. He really will do everything he can and go above and beyond on your behalf! Thanks again Bryan! You are a Life-Saver!!!

I was not happy at having to go into bankruptcy a few years ago, but when I went in to get it done,…read moreI was treated with all kinds of respect and dignity by Mr. Podis, Esq. He helped us through the process, stood with us in bankruptcy court, and made sure to let us know he was available when we needed his help. Well, about a week ago, I was having issues getting some paperwork I needed, so I just went to his office, and he spent quite a bit of time, helping me out, giving advice, walking through steps I needed to get done, and just being like a ... "father-figure?" I hate to say that, but that's kind of what it felt like. Finally, the paperwork I got done was still in limbo, and I was getting frustrated. Doors were closing, everyone was being helpful, and I was not getting any real answers. I called up the Podis and Podis again, and after another frustration, I was put through to Cynthia Podis, Mark's wife. She could tell I was very frustrated, and she took time out of her day to help me understand my situation, see my options, and encourage me that all would work out. It was a boost I really needed and it pulled me out of a depression spiral that I was sinking into deeply, dealing with insurance, lawyers, and car-types. All that said, I've HATED lawyers, but these two seem to understand that the people behind the legalese, jargon, paperwork, and courtrooms, are usually calling them while they are hurting. They seem to get it that you don't call a bankruptcy lawyer until you've been through many days of stress, or you've had to deal with a major disruption of your life and need the court to help get back on track. They are extremely kind, and will do their very best for you.

I always appreciate the honesty and them making sure that we understand the good and the bad of our particular situation. Lonna has been wonderful!! We are self admittedly a bit high maintenence and she has been great about everything. Calls are always returned in a very reasonable amount of time.
