Posted by Andrew | November 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

First Class DUI Attorney

My DUI ( my 2nd) was dropped to a reckless driving. Rob Britt possibly saved my job, because driving my work vehicle is critical. More importantly, Rob is the quintessential professional. He immediately put me at ease with his professional approach and knowledge of the process I was facing. In ad...dition, Rob argued successfully to have my DMV charge reversed. This reversed a possible one year interlock device requirement for my vehicle and 45 day license suspension (As part of the reckless driving charge, I did receive a court mandated 30 day license suspension). I was lucky to have been referred to Rob from a friend who, unfortunately, has been through the DUI process more then myself. Getting Rob Britt's referral changed everything for me and I can't thank my friend enough. I also received a year of administrative probation as part of my reckless driving charge and met with my probation officer. I really knew that Rob had worked hard for me when my probation officer shook her head reading the case and looked up at me and asked "who was your lawyer"? She stated that I did not have a monetary fine, community service, or any other conditions....very unusual. She said I received an incredible deal that she rarely sees on a second DUI charge. Rob only asked that I take steps so that my drunken driving doesn't happen again. I voluntarily entered a treatment center and now attend AA almost every day. My life has turned around incredibly since being arrested. I was despondent and didn't know where to turn. After finding Rob Britt, things started going in the right direction. I have my job and have never been happier with life. It's been an incredible turn-around for me. Rob Britt is absolutely First Class........I honestly feel very lucky that I found him.

Excellent

I am a respected professional that exercised poor judgement. Rob took the time to get to know me and guided me through a terrifying episode in my life. He was supportive, encouraging, and it was clear that he really cared. His abilities go well beyond the technical and legal. Highly recommend!

Lifesaver

I contacted Rob after my son got into some pretty major trouble. It was a scary time for us! Rob immediately went to work on his case, getting to know myself and my son and really fighting for him. It was one of those bad decisions made by a very young man who happened to be a great person and Rob u...nderstood that. He connected with my son which made it a much smoother process. He directed myself and my son every step of the way, answering questions, fighting for him at every court date and ultimately, had the case dismissed. I can't thank Rob enough or recommend him enough. A terrific lawyer that truly knows his stuff. Thank you Rob! Thank you!

A lawyer that goes far beyond the extra mile

I first met and hired Rob to represent me for a drug related DUI and he was very informative and professional. Any questions I had about what was going on he was quick to respond to and never made me feel like I was wondering what was next. Rob was able to make the process quick and painless through... his many dealings with people over years of connections he has made as an attorney. My case had a very favorable outcome and I couldnt have been more pleased. Most recently Rob has counceled me for my dealings with a restraining order that was filed against me and unfortunately he with it being an out of state matter he was not able to represent me. However, he took time out of his day on a few days, including a Sunday afternoon, to make sure that I was well prepared and would be able to have this matter thrown out. After Rob's coaching, I walked into court with my head held high and confidence through the roof and was able to present my defense and my facts in a proper and professional manner that would have made him proud if he were there to see it. The case was thrown out and the restraining order was dropped. I don't think I would have had the same outcome if it had not been for Rob's time and efforts to assist me. And it can't go without mentioning that all the time, the hours he spent on the phone with me, was all unbilled and out of his own generousity. Again, he even took time away from his Sunday afternoon to do this. Although I certainly have cleaned my life up since first needing to hire Rob, I feel extremely confident in his abilities and would certainly have him be my first call if ever I need his council, and my only recommendation to anyone that asks if I know of a good lawyer.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
