"There would not be enough words to express the exceptional service I was given. I live in Nashville miles away, where online access is available to inform you of what you need to know about your ticket or citation. I was not aware of the seriousness of the citation until I appeared for a court date. After calling several lawyer offices DELIUS & MCKENZIE, PLLC listen to my concerns, valued my time my working with me by emails. Offer me a price for service that was affordable with a payment plan. Used all tools and resources for my defense and was able to have my citation dismissed. To have no face to face contact until the day I was to appear in court speaks volumes about DELIUS & MCKENZIE, PLLC. I could not praise them enough for being there for me."

"I was involved in a very serious motorcycle crash and was airlifted to UT Hospital for trauma care and emergency surgery. Upon release from the hospital a few days later I was informed of my prolonged recovery time and the possibility of never being able to return to my chosen profession. Within a few days of my release the medical bills started arriving.....it was at this point I knew I need the help of a professional, Mr. Delius."

"When I was faced with the tragic loss of my husband in 2012 and found myself needing an attorney for the first time in my life, I knew immediately that I would be calling on Attorney Bryan Delius. It was a huge source of comfort and a weight lifted off my shoulders to know that Mr. Delius and his staff would treat my case as if I were his only client and take care of me as if I were a family member."

Delius & McKenzie took care of a problem I had with municipal law enforcement. This was a serious allegation and I needed serious representation. Mr. Delius took my case, told me to let him worry about it, and proceeded to get the case dismissed. I was amazed at how quickly and efficiently my case was handled. I would highly recommend Delius & McKenzie to anyone who has a legal problem.

Thank you!
