I don’t know about the rest of the country, but there are a fair amount of attorneys in Texas who challenge the notion of the uptight, holier-than-thou legal professional. Brian Loncar will “Strong Arm” insurance companies. “The Texas Hammer” Jim Adler hammers and hammers while everything is on fire and heavy metal music plays in the background. Austin-based and dreadlocked, David Komie is touted by many as the “attorney that rocks.” Criminal attorney Adam Reposa is actually registered under the name “Bulletproof” with the Texas State Bar, and may or may not have a couple of screws loose.
But, in the realm of attorneys with personality, Fort Worth’s Bryan Wilson — “The Law Hawk” — is a criminal attorney above all the rest. On top of an impressive list of credentials, The Law Hawk also boasts some of the most hilarious advertising I’ve seen since CareerBuilder.com told us all it’s time to get a new job.
Here’s what I mean:
Yes, that’s real and it puts him in a class of lawyers dubbed by Texas Monthly as the most ridiculous in Texas.
When you and your buddies are up to no good playing Hungry Hungry Hippos and a standard-issue Texas police officer starts banging on your door with a puppy in his arms, talking about how everyone’s getting arrested if you don’t open said door, all you need to do is call a certain criminal attorney nicknamed “The Law Hawk.” He’ll bust through a random door in your house like the Kool-Aid Man in a suit — substituting “OH, YEAH!” with “SOMEBODY JUST CALLED ME!” — then Deacon Jones through your front door, taking the cop out in the process.
This ad is brilliant, I tell you! Absolutely brilliant!
Hilarity aside though, The Law Hawk actually is a wunderkind of a lawyer. He graduated summa cum laude in the top 7 percent of his class at the Texas Tech University School of Law, making the Dean’s List every semester. He participated in advocacy competitions, once serving as his team’s leader during an international advocacy competition in Athens, Greece. Before law school, The Law Hawk worked for a criminal defense and personal injury firm in Fort Worth, Texas. He interned for two Tarrant County criminal court judges during his first year of law school. He earned a summer associate position at a law firm following his second year of law school. He’s also interned with federal prosecutors and in the state prosecutor’s office.
He was selected as one of 2014’s top attorneys in Tarrant County, Texas. Bryan Wilson’s experiences as a criminal attorney are vast and his resume is impressive for a 29-year-old with a fledgling practice.
“Due process? Do wheelies!”
