Bria Larson
Managing Partner Attorney Bria Larson is highly-effective in helping our clients with all their criminal defense matters, masterly in DWI cases.
She has extensive courtroom experience, having tried multiple complex jury trials. Bria shares, “Having ridden shotgun with clients on hundreds of criminal law cases, I know it’s important to have a lawyer you trust. Your lawyer will give you guidance and advice through some of the toughest times of your life, so that person should be someone you are confident in.”
“I believe that every case and every client deserves a unique solution. There are no ‘cookie cutter’ answers in the law. I view myself as the navigator of the process and I believe it is extremely important that my clients understand all the legal options available to them. Throughout the case, I help my clients make informed decisions to reach their desired outcomes. Whether it is a no-fuss or a knock-down, drag-out fight to the bitter end, I’ll be in your corner. Although I firmly believe you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, if we need vinegar, I’ve got plenty.”

Robin McCarty worked diligently with me to overcome a serious accusation. We collaborated together to unequivocally dismiss the charges with impunity. As is common when dealing with municipalities, this process took time and patience. Robin’s team was communicative, responsive and thoughtful while handling this intense situation. I highly recommend giving McCarty-Larson the opportunity to work through your case.
