I hired Nick in 2018 and he helped reduce the damage from my case. He always got back to me quickly, was always honest and realistic with my expectations, and always treated me professionally. In 2021 I had more charges, but in a different state. Although I wasn't paying him he helped me anyway with multiple questions about issues that would arise in MT as a result of my out of state charges.

Nick did an amazing job to get my DUI charge reduced and to keep me out of jail. Even though I am in my early twenties , he always treated me like an adult. Nick was upfront and honest about what could happen and always returned my calls and answered my questions. I won’t ever get into this kind of trouble again...but if You do, this is the guy to call.

Nicholas helped me mostly avoid a potentially very ugly DUI situation. He was incredibly professional, fair, and most of all, HONEST. I appreciate that he never gave me the run around, and treated my situation as if he were in my shoes. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need!!!

Nicholas Owens was very easy to work with and very communicative throughout my case. He was reasonably priced and helped me come to a positive outcome very quickly. I had peace of mind while working with him and can't recommend this firm strongly enough.
