Brunetti is the best DWI Lawyer!

I have actually had the opportunity to have Mr. Brunetti represent me in the past and I must say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and would not stop until he has tried every option possible to make his case. He is one of many lawyers that... I have ever met that can think out of the box in so many ways. He and his firm was extremely supportive and made what was the worse time of my life at ease for me and my family. His expertise in his field is phenomenal.....I highly recommend him!

Great Lawyers are Hard to Come By

My world was turned upside down after being charged with a violent Felony. i had never been in trouble before and was scared of ruining my life, as well as my career. A couple of my friends had used Robert Brunetti in the past for DWI/DUI's and had experienced excellent results. I met with a few lawy...ers before i sat down with him and he was the only attorney I felt comfortable with. He really knew his business and prided himself in being the best at what he does. He trully knows his way around the judicial system. Good results always take time, especially when it comes to our Countries legal system. After it was all said and done, my C felony was dropped to an A misdemeanor and I was given a conditional discharge. I didn't even have to serve probation. My life and career was saved thanks to Robert. Needless to say, I highly recommend him for any criminal case, DWI or DUI.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Brunetti was hands down the best lawyer for my case. He cares about his clients and is always putting their best interests first. He listens to their concerns, respects them and takes the time to explain everything. As stressful as this case was, Mr. Brunetti was able to put my mind at ease. Bo...th in and out of the courtroom, he is completely competent and knowledgable on all aspects with respects to dwi/dui's. He can answer any question you might have. In the courtroom he takes control and is a master in his craft. Mr. Brunetti is highly acclaimed and respected by his peers and I know why now. He is an excellent lawyer and would be an asset to anyone that needs his service.

RETAIN HIM NOW!

I interviewed three other DWI specialty lawyers before Robert Brunetti( one public well known,) The knowledge Robert Brunetti has supersedes any other attorney ,that I retained him on the first meeting. My case was complicated and difficult and Robert Brunetti's experience was key to my favorab...le results.His associates were diligent,competent ,and necessary for appearances at times. Robert Brunetti has a strategy that is needed in any DWI I/DUI.This offense if not handled properly with the right attorney will haunt you for years to come. Your car insurances goes up, you can't rent a car,it shows up on employment background checks,most life insurance companies won't insure you, the surcharges will be more than any legal costs,just to mention a few haunts. The courts are delayed and overloaded so you need the right attorney and Robert Brunetti is the one,no doubt about it.

"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."
