Exceptionally Good DUI Attorney

I had an out of state dui case which required my best interests to be protected in both states. In search of NJ DWI attorney's on the web, I came upon Greggory's site and I was struck by it's simplicity, clear and crisp focus on DWI. I recall emailing a query and Greggory promptly responded that sa...me evening. At first, I was skeptical and I kept asking him, if he was comfortable and confident in taking my case on. I went ahead and contacted his office the next day and communicated the details of my case. Greggory initially assisted my out of state counsel preserving and protecting my best interests. Subsequently, Greggory prepared a methodical facts based appeal of my NJ case with a positive outcome allowing me full driving priviliges. I can confidently say that having exchanged many a correspondence with Greggory via email and live telephonic conversation, he is extremely knowledgeable in the area of DUI/DWI, prompt in his communications and a true professional. I could'nt have had better counsel, help and guidance. If your looking for the best attorney to represent your DWI case, look no further than Greggory. I highly recommend him.

Gregg Marootian-Hire Him (A No-Brainer!)

My wife was involved in a DWI accident, taken to the hospital, and charged with DWI, and careless driving, she fell asleep at the wheel, crashed, and the officer smelled alcohol on her breath. The next day, I reviewed the laws in the state of NJ, as well as Mr. Marootian's web site, which was clear,... concise, well written, and extremely informative. I contacted a few different lawyers, ranging from general practitioners who had experience with DWI, to experts that only practice DWI, and their fees ranged accordingly. After much debate, and contacting Mr. Marootian, I decided to go with him, being that he only practices in these cases, and seemed to have the expertise in this area. This was one of the best decisions i have ever made. Gregg is as knowledgeable about this area of the law as any out there, and has the experience to guide you through all of the possibilities. He is compassionate and caring as well. He is extremely diligent, returns all calls, and takes the time necessary to assure that no details are overlooked. He keeps you apprised every step of the way. His fees were reasonable, not the least expensive, but by no means the most expensive, and he is not a penny pincher, watching every second of the clock while working for you. Although our case was essentially determined by luck in that the state's blood evidence was lacking, he expertly negotiated an acquittal on the DWI charge, and got the state to reduce all other violations to no-point violations. Our outcome probably could have been the same using another lawyer, but I have no doubt that his skills and expertise were instrumental in resolving our case. If you are in need of a DWI attorney, I highly recommend Gregg Marootian.

More Then an attorney

I was at the end of my rope when I found Mr. Marootian, after meeting once, (the day b4 court) I knew in not only my mind but my heart as well that I 'had' to have this man represent me. I was facing much jail time with a, lets say, colorful record. Greg explained what I could be facing and what his ...first strategy would be, reminding me all along that this is not an easy case, which I was well aware of. It was not just his knowledge but his sincerity as well. Not to mention his faith helped me to renew my own (which was the best part of it all). With every odd against me, Greg Marootian was able to get me the absolute best sentence that is possible. I'd never even imagined things could turn out so good! He made no promises, he kept me informed and warned all along and prepared me for what might happen, given my prior record with driving. I've never had such a good lawyer and I've had many! Not only would I not hesitate to recommend his services but I can honestly say that this man and his family have changed the way I view things and I will say it again, my Faith has been renewed.

Total Professional

Gregg recently handled a DUI case for me that included approximately 4 other charges. Upon contacting Gregg, he was not only a nice guy, but totally versed on all laws involving DUI cases, and that's his speciality. That's all he does. He was totally prepared for my case and knew how to approach i...t and what he said he could do for me, he did 100%. I never had problem contacting him on the phone, or waiting for returned calls. He was always there for me. I also met with him face to face before my court hearing and he was 100% professional and I would recommend him 100% to anyone seeking this type of attorney.

A DUI Attorney Second to None

I am completely satisfied with the quality of sevice received from Attorney Marootian during my DUI case. Finding a DUI lawyer or any lawyer for that matter is relatively easy; Finding the right lawyer can however be a daunting task to say the least. After what can be described as agonizing days of s...hopping for a reputable lawyer, I was fortunate to have visited Attorney Marootian's web site. I was very impressed by the factual contents on his page and immediatley thereafter retained his services. In addition to being an expert DUI Attorney second to none, Mr. Marootian proved to be most honorable, compassionate, caring, and simply down to earth. He treated me with dignity, utmost respect, and displayed the kind of professionalism that one would expect from an esteemed attorney. With a BAC of .15, and a number of other accompanying traffic offences including Reckless Driving, I found myself facing possible jail time, license suspension for one year etc. The resulting stress and sleepless nights were at best overwhelming until I spoke with Mr. Marootian. After visiting him, I walked out of his office feeling relieved and felt assured that I would have the best on my side. Indeed I had the best! I am eternally grateful and will always remember in particular his honesty and candor. He clearly had my best interest at heart every step of the way. Mr. Marootian evidently could have easily allowed my case to go to trial, likely arriving at the same/similar outcome had he been interested in merely making more money with my case. Mr. Marootian exceeded my expectations in all areas relating to the conduct of my case. He kept me informed on the progress of my case and responded to my telephone calls and eamils promptly. Throughout the process, Mr. Marootian furnished me copies of documents relevant to my case as well as an information package after my case was adjudicated. I am exceedingly happy with the result of my case and through the grace of God, I say a BIG THANK YOU Mr. Marootian for your excellent service! Job well-done Sir! In conclusion, allow me to speak to you the reader. If you or anyone you care about are currently facing a DUI charge and need legal representation then you should look no further as this attorney is irrefutably your best bet- Period.
