Experience counts when choosing a lawyer for a DWI case. I have tried over 200 DWI cases, with a very high percentage of acquittals, ranging from cases as high as .26 and below. Moreover, I have conducted well over hundreds of Pre-trial hearings and Refusal Hearings at DMV. Decisions on my cases have been published in WestLaw and the New York Law Journal. In addition, I am a frequent commenter for Newsday, local papers, and Channel 12 on cases or issues that involved DWI
I am very familiar with the breath tests instruments used by the Nassau County Police Department, New York City Police Department, New York State Police Department, as I have lectured and been trained on these instruments and actually own them. My knowledge of these instruments enables me to point out the short comings in them that can cause artificially false high readings
In addition, I have lectured on the Subject of DWI defense to Nassau Criminal Courts Bar Association, Nassau Bar Association, New York State Bar Association, and Suffolk County Bar Association.

Robert Brunetti is the best attorney hands down!! I was wrongfully accused of being the driver and arrested for DWI. As anyone can imagine I was terrified. They impounded my vehicle, I was under arrest and detained overnight. My whole world crumbled. I couldn’t sleep, couldn't eat and was under trem...

Mr Brunetti represented me exceptionally well. This was my second time requiring his services. The 1st DWI, he got my case dismissed. This 2nd time, he got me a great plea deal considering the severity of the charges I was facing. It all turned out exactly as he said it would. He answered my calls...

Attny Brunetti is an amazing DUI /DWI attorney. When I initially met with him, I was nervous and unsure about the case. He not only kept me abreast of everything, he also made sure to guide me and put me at ease every step of the way. He is straightforward and very knowledgeable of not only the law,...

From the date of the DUI arrest on 11/27/2019 to the final court date and decision on 11/9/2021, Mr. Brunetti was there for me throughout the two years. I was recommended to Mr. Brunetti by a law enforcement friend and he said that everyone hated Mr. Brunetti because he made it extremely difficult fo...
"Robert Brunetti is an exceptional criminal defense attorney and an outstanding advocate for all those he represents. He is tireless in defense of his clients and is a top notch trial attorney with a wealth of trial experience. You could not hope for a better advocate to defend you, and I strongly endorse Robert."
"It is my pleasure to enthusiastically endorse Mr. Brunetti as a criminal defense attorney. I have had the opportunity to witness Mr. Brunetti “in action” on several occasions. To see him working on a trial is a sight to behold; he is definitely a gifted lawyer. He is incredibly well-versed, quick thinking, and spectacular with juries. He is a professional who truly knows his craft, and I recommend his services to those in need without hesitation."
"I have known Mr. Brunetti for over 10 years. He is an excellent criminal law attorney focusing on DWI. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and takes a personal interest in their vindication. He is also very well respected in the legal community and is known as a premier DWI trial attorney. I highly recommend Mr. Brunetti."
"I endorse Mr. Brunetti with the highest recommendation. I have always told fellow lawyers that if I was ever arrested in a DWI charge, Mr. Brunetti would be the attorney I'd hire! Thankfully, that situation has never arisen but on two occasions I have recommended him to close friends of mine. On the most recent case, Mr. Brunetti turned what surely would have been a career ending situation for my friend into a disposition that is rarely given by the District Attorney. In addition to watching him practice first hand, I've seen Mr. Brunetti lecture on DWI law and he is an expert in his field. But most importantly, his clients know that not only does he come with the expertise needed to solve the client's problem, but he shows a caring and compassion that unfortunately the legal profession is not known for."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Brunetti, Mr. Scott Benjamin, and Ms. Ascione zealously and successfully advocated for a close friend of mine during nearly 1-month-long DWI trial. Mr. Brunetti and his team created reasonable doubt by demonstrating that the police acted in a predatory and unlawful manner in pulling my friend over, illegally signed blank traffic tickets, and lacked knowledge and skill regarding how to conduct field sobriety tests. One of the charges which the police used as a pretext for the arrest was dismissed by the judge as baseless, due to Mr. Brunetti and his team's extraordinary representation the jury properly found my friend not guilty of 2 misdemeanor DWI charges (per se and common law) and a violation DWAI charges. In the end, my friend was only found guilty of failing to signal and walked away (reputation and future saved thanks to Brunetti &Ascione!) with a simple traffic ticket."
